Friday New Product: Linear Rails, Power ...
Solar botics
November 1, 2013
Halloween is over - lets eat up our pumpkin leftovers, get ready for gift giving season and stock up on some vitamin D for the winter season! For new product today we got Third Hand. That's important. It’s a kit that comes with surgical thread and a little anesthetic fluid as well as a handy mirror similar to the dentist's so that you can sew your new arm wherever you find it handy. Also we got linear rails - only linear, unfortunately. Circular rails would be even better but we don’t carry these ones yet.

Steel Linear Rail, 40cm (15.75") length $50.00 For moving things in a straight, STRAIGHT line, you need linear rails! |

Power Supply Adapter - 12VDC 1A (1,000mA) $6.00 Switching power adapters are solid, efficient, and powerful. Here's 12V at 1A VDC on a barrel jack for your projects. |

Third Hand Kit $34.95 If you don't have a hand growing out of the middle of your chest, you'll need one of these handy tools. |
 |
Switching Power Adapter Brick 5VDC, 5A $16.95 Sometimes 5VDC is good. Sometimes backing it up with 5A is better! This brick power supply is ideal for powering addressable strip LEDs. |
 |
Switching Power Supply Brick 5VDC, 8A $25.00 Have a really heavy 5VDC power requirement? Will an 8A power brick with a regular barrel jack connector do the job? |
Another important new product we present today is a power brick. It's not your regular brick. It’s a power brick. Need more powerful microwaves in your microwave? Smack it with a power brick! Need taller tables? Prop it up with a power brick! You can even use it as a footstool for your cat, just make sure to disconnect the cables so it doesn’t trip.
