DIY Health Care
We'd like every home in America to have a complete set of medical equipment. Then all this boring talk about national health care will be moot. Here's one to get you started: face masks and a tube. Each order gets you (1) adult- and (1) kid-sized mask (transparent green vinyl; covers mouth, nose and chin) and a corrugated plastic tube, 35" long, 7/8" OD, 3/4" ID, all in a plastic pouch. Hook it up to your nebulizer and inhale those cleansing vapors. Or make your own Halloween costume, scuba gear or fire-fighting equipment. Or just wear it around town and see what kind of reaction you get.

Ridgid Wrap
For papier mache modeling, of course. You get a 4"wide x 180" long roll of plaster-coated cloth, wet it, wrap it, and dry it until it's rigid. Finish it with paint or shellac or whatever. "Takes all finishes" the package trumpets. And it's non-toxic, so don't be bashful about rigid-wrapping yourself.

Scrub a Dub
Super latex gloves, but boy are they heavy! Not as heavy as rubber gloves usually made for washing dishes etc, but much heavier than the average lab or medical latex glove. At 10" long they will come well up over your wrist, but you have to have a small hand, since that is the only size. You get (20) to make (10) pairs.

Lazy Scott Bearings
Never seemed fair to nail the "lazy" tag so permanently on the "Susans" but that probably has no "bearing" on the issue. Also called turntable bearings, they are the square, flat ball bearing devices YOU bolt between two flat objects to achieve rotation. Like that spinning center section of a Chinese restaurant table. We had these in surplus once and they were quite popular. To our chagrin, we discovered they could be bought commercially for the same price. So we did. The 4" version is rated for a 300lb. load, the 6" for 500lbs., and the 12" (round) for 1000lbs.

China China
Porcelain evaporating dishes from China. The glazing of the interior carries over and down the top 1/2" of the outside, but the bottom of the outside is unglazed to sit over a burner flame. The idea is to boil off a liquid, leaving one with solid chemicals. Should work equally well with anything you want to heat in small quantities. All have pouring lips. The 250 ml dish is 4-7/8" x 1-3/4" high.

Aluminum Tube
What can you do with a thin aluminum tube? The question should be what can’t you do with a thin aluminum tube. It's flexible, it's thin, it's aluminum, it comes in a variety of lengths and thicknesses. What it's for is up to you. Here are the specs: #27529 is 10 feet long,.044” OD, .040” ID. #27416 is just 3–1/2” long, .048” OD, .042”" ID.

Mylar Warmth
They have the look of something designed for the space program. They're mylar, a paper-thin shiny metallic sheet, that comes in handy when your car breaks down in winter, or when you're separated from your climbing group on the slopes of Mt. McKinley. Barring that, they're also a perfect material for a do-it-yourself cold-climate Halloween costume-near impossible to rip by hand, but cut easily with scissors. There's no padding, so they wouldn't be too comfy on your bed, but they sure are warm. They both come folded about the size of a wallet. The Blanket is 52" x 82", the Sleeping Bag is 34" x 84".

Hemostatic Heaven
Hemostats are the clamplike devices dangling from veins and arteries in melodramatic operating scenes. Our particular collection are Pakistani surgical-grade instruments made of magnetic stainless steel. As such we rate them pretty good, but not fantastic. Hemostats look like little pliers. The jaws are relatively fine, with rounded tips. The inside faces are lightly serrated to get a grip on tubing or body plumbing. And the handles are much longer than the jaws. Ratchets between the handles click together to lock the hemostat in a closed position. To release the clamps, push the handles apart at 90 degrees to the plane of the jaws. Now the heavenly part. Great hobby clamps that can be worked into small areas. Fine heat sinks for electronics. Good hook extractors for trout fisherpeople. Excellent tubing clamps for flow-sensitive chemistry experiments. Sizes are approximate length.

Adapting to AC-Surplus Transformations
There is an entire class of transformers that surplus dealers call "AC Adapters." What we really mean is transformers that plug directly into the wall (primary voltage 110 VAC), and via a cord and/or plug provide various levels of output current at variou s voltages. It is a rare buyer of surplus that gets the plug configuration he/she wants, and many get snipped off (plugs that is). They are handy power supplies, battery charging units, substitutes for batteries in toys and games, or for providing safe il lumination to models and displays. Be sure to note whether the output is AC or DC (Direct Current, like a battery) and whether it can provide enough current for your application. Unless otherwise noted, all are suitable for indoor use only. Stick with us and you'll get the hang of adapting to AC...and at much lower prices than your friendly appliance/game/computer/calculator shop asks. Unless otherwise noted, all adapters are for 115 volt AC primaries, and all have about 6 ft. cords. (MA=Milliamp) (A=Amphere) (VDC= Volts DC) (VAC= Volts AC)t

Teeny Tiny Tubes
Oodles of tiny clear glass tubes. Open on each end, they'll work wonders when connecting rubber tubing or sticking into stopper holes (#27918 is especially perfect for that). Flint glass, so nothing too hot, OK?

AIRCRAFT CABLE
Stop picturing a fat cable you can use to tie down an airplane. This is great 20–strand twisted cable from the aircraft industry, but at 1/16” dia, it’s sized more for a Chicago Cub than a Piper Cub. The cable is high–quality stainless steel, unjacketed and very strong. Use it to hang extremely heavy mirrors, make repairs, create bendable metal sculptures! Order in 15–foot or 100–foot hanks. Enjoy!
