Smart SCART Plus.

The Smart SCART Plus. The Ferret really hates having to fiddle around with SCART sockets – setting them up, switching them over – all that palaver when you’ve got DVD recorders, set top boxes, games consoles, video cameras etc to contend with. So it’s nice to report from personal experience that this cool 8 input auto SCART router actually does its job brilliantly. It auto switches components like a dream, has a built in signal amplifier and features a neat auto sensing feature for camcorders.

Steam it, Stanley.

The Vapourtek LaserVap. You have to admire a marketing department that specs up a groovy Star Trek shape – and name – for something as ho-hum as a hand held steam cleaner, don’t you?

So let’s not mock too soon, eh? £59.95.  The VapourTek LaserVap hand held steam cleaner has benefits such as the ability to re-fill without decommissioning…

The Hallmarked Solid Silver 2GB USB 2.0 Ball Pen. So you’re like, there, on the 8th floor, trying to sort out some dumb user’s grubby Dell workstation.
