Gear & Gadgets

Cool gadgets for men who love inventions: things that solve a problem you did not know you had, or that are just fun to show off.

There is a portable cassette player and recorder with AM/FM radio, a 10x42 monocular with a smartphone adapter, the Krak'in beer shotgun tool, a punch to make your own guitar picks, a razor blade sharpener and a wobbling designer chess set.

Tip: ask yourself whether the gadget will be used or mostly shown off. Both are fine, but for a practical person a tool that earns its place every week is the better pick.
