Scepter gas containers make a good last-minute
Using a gas can properly is simple, except for when it isn’t. Spilling fuel is never a good thing. Scepter believes it has curtailed potential problems with its SmartControl containers.
Available in one to 14-gallon sizes and in different colors, Scepter makes polyethylene containers equipped with a user-controlled flow valve to direct the amount of fuel being dispensed.

The Scepter containers work as promoted after a brief learning curve. Press the lever with your palm to unlock the child safety feature. Squeeze the large button with the container upright to vent the can. Place the nozzle over the tank and squeeze again to pour the desired amount of fuel. The spout provides a clean, fast, no-spill pour.
The containers store with the spout on, allowing hands, floors, gardens, driveways, clothes and other stuff to remain fuel-spill-free. $16.99 to $230.

Rackle by definition connotes “disruption,” which the company markets in sustainability practices. The Alex is designed to “breakdown at an accelerated rate compared to traditional footwear under biologically active landfill conditions.”

* A wallet holds money, credit cards and identification. Unless it also does a bunch of other things. How about if it includes a serrated and sharpened edge, paracord tensioner, 10 and 15-millimeter hex wrenches, a smartphone stand, nail pryer, ruler and a few additional gizmos?

The first non-leather wallet offered by Dango Products, the T01 Tactical Wallet Spec-Ops edition is for the MacGyver in all of us. The exterior is made from a resilient, flexible, water-resistant, textured and durable material designed to withstand rough usage.
