Looking for gadget ideas to bring you that much closer to being James Bond? Or perhaps you have way to much money on your hands and would like some help getting rid of it (donate it to us?)? Either way, we’ve got the perfect gadget for you.
To compliment that beautiful Aston Martin DBS that you’ve got parked next to the three dozen other cars in your garage, might we suggest that Jaeger LeCoultre AMVOX2 DBS Transponder? At over $40k, this beauty of a watch actually allows you to unlock and lock your DBS from up to 10 meters away. Originally this device ran into some issues due to the Faraday Cage that the mechanical workings of the watch had created around the transponder. But through a little engineering, a 128mm sapphire and metal antenna was crafted and inserted into the curve of the inner bezel ring.
Who needs key FOBs anyway?
Leatherman provide some of the finest tools to be used in nearly any situation. Unfortunately, up until now they didn’t have a high class way of donning a Leatherman in public.
This $40,000 Leatherman is definitely something worth of brandishing when your seat at the theater just keep catching on a poorly fitted lugnut. This specific Leatherman was created to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Argentum collection and is actually just as powerful and sturdy as a regular Leatherman but a billion times more elegant.
The lower end models start at $12,000 for the Acanto, ranging up to the creme de le creme $40,000 Dorando and are all the work of Argentinean artist Adrian Pollarols.
Special Agent NerdBomber reporting for duty!
If you think you’re quick to respond to any geek based emergency, or are capable of quick drawing your device of choice out in a nerd off, think again. Unless you’re equipped with a Gadget Shoulder Holster, you’re just another pwned noob.
In the style of what those more physical types would carry a gun in, the Gadget Shoulder Holster is perfect for the nerdy spy on the go. It easily hides under any attire, keeping your secret identity safe. As long as your chest isn’t bigger then size 44, you’ll be good to go!
Agent Smart’s got nothing on me!
If you are planning on taking your bird on a trip whether it be for the day or for several days then this portable bird cage is just what you will need. This backpack like bird cage will allow you to take your bird anywhere you are going. It comes with places to hang toys for your feathered friend along with a convenient bottom tray that comes out for easy cleaning.
But one thing to be careful of is to make sure that the bird you want to take with you will fit in this bird backpack/cage as it is only big enough for about a medium size bird. Sorry big birds this one just isn’t for you.
Anyone who grew up in the 80’s can remember with fondness Duck Hunt, Paperboy and of course Super Mario. Everyone who was anyone can remember spending several hours each day, plopped in front of the television, rectangular controller in hand staring intently at the screen.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the new advances that have been made in the past 20 or so years with video games. The graphics are better, the consoles can do so much more but the NES is the one that will always hold a special place in my heart. That is why the NES keychain is such a cool gadget that any die hard gamer must have. Sorry folks don’t look for a cool keychain that resembles the PS3 controller because you wont find one, this is a one of a kind design that no one can replicate just like the NES.
Combining two things can turn out great. Peanut butter and chocolate. Cookies and milk. Canes and fishing poles?
That last one has become a reality thanks to some enterprising inventor or lame-legged fishing enthusiast. It’s available for $39.95, is 35 inches high, and has a reel and line to go along with the traditional rubber foot and metal handle.
Father’s Day is past, but it’s not too late to get your old man one of these. Although I am skeptical of how good each of the individual parts of this are.
As gas prices top $4 a gallon and people are becoming more and more eco-friendly, cycling to get around is increasing rapidly.
But biking in the city – especially at night – can be dangerous. And hand signals are for lame-o’s. Well Leah Buechley’s LED signal sweatshirt/jacket is the perfect solution.
There are step-by-step instructions on how to make your own possibly life-saving coats. Sometimes, the simplest solution is the best one.
Ahh Japan, home of all things crazy/weird/awesome. From the land of the rising sun come these lovely pig headphones. They are (of course) made of silicon, come with a sizable 35-inch cord and are available in pink, black and white. You can pick up these hilariously offbeat headphones for a mere $11, but that’s only in Japan. Sadly, a search for “pig headphones” on Amazon yields Howard Stern’s biography.
If you can look past the Emo kid in the picture here, what you will see is the ultimate gadget guru accessory, the 8-bit tie. Originally listed as an April Fools joke, apparently enough people found the tie as interesting as I did and through sheer geek peer pressure, the tie has come into existence.
The tie comes in both blue and red, so whether you’re going to need to blend in to the underwater work environment you’ve been moved to or get powered up to ask your boss for the raise, they’ve got you covered.

With nearly everyone carrying a cell phone, the need for a wrist watch to tell time has clearly dropped. That, however, doesn’t mean they aren’t still fashionable to wear.
If you’re the retro type who just so happens to have thrown away your game n watch wrist watch, this Cassette Face watch might be right up your alley!
Unfortunately, you won’t be playing any music on your watch, cassette or mp3, so you’ll be rocking out to the mix tape in your head while you show off your awesome new time piece.
