Amazon Friday Sale

Comment First

The Amazon Friday Sale was a little weak this week. I usually find a few products, but with many repeats of previous products, I found only three noteworthy products. (I wish they'd get rid of the whole footware category. I know women like their shoes, but I'm not about to write about it.)

The coolest piece of gadgetry is the Urban Trend Tulip Corkscrew. It looks like a tulip, but performs the duties of a corkscrew. I'm really Lazy so my favorite corkscrew solution is still the Oster Electric Wine Bottle Opener. It'll set you back another 95 cents, so start scrounging those couch cushions.

The best product by far in my opinion is the La Crosse Technology Power Battery Charger. I read the reviews about how it brought back rechargeables that were long dead. I didn't think it was possible. However, I put it on my birthday list one year and found that it lives up to the hype. It was north of $40 back then, so to get it for less than $25 is notable.

Honorable mention for the best product is the LeatherCraft Roller Tote Tool Bag. A tool bag is great because you can just reach in and get what you want. This one ups the ante in two ways. It's got wheels and it's on sale for 67% off. That's decent value.

As always, the deal is just for Friday, so snatch it up quick or lose.

I love digital media, but I [...]
