It's one thing to attach cables to your desk for easy access and mild organization, but it's another to make sure they're the right length and stay where they're supposed to go. Cordlets solve both of these problems by providing an easy grip for your cables and a small neck that you can use to wrap them, keeping them as short or as long as you want.
If you're familiar with the many little cable hacks available out there, Cordlets are like a Cable Drop and an Apple Core rolled into one. They serve both purposes admirably and cost about $2.50 each. It's a really great idea, but some online reviews suggest the adhesive that comes with each Cordlet doesn't work very well. If you decide to give this product a try, you might want to have some tougher, stickier stuff on hand as well.

Memorial Day weekend is coming up and it's time to break out the grill. Stake is a clever multi-tool that can help you get a perfect hot dog, burger, or whatever single-handedly. It looks like a standard spatula that you can use for flipping, but it's also capable of grabbing anything on the grill like tongs or piercing it like a fork.
Bandits are very simple to understand: they're a rubber band with a hook. This may not seem extremely compelling at first glance, but there's actually a lot you can do with them. They can be used to hang a water bottle on your bike, your sunglasses from your car's rearview mirror, tools on a ladder when you need to set them somewhere, and virtually anything you can think of.
If you constantly find yourself needing to dig through your big tool chest for a simple job, this Hammer/Screwdriver combination tool is the perfect space-saving tool to keep in your desk for those small jobs.
