The Safe, Powerful 3-in-1 Laser Welder For Home

I’ve always thought welding was so cool… and that it was off limits to non professionals. But no longer! The PulsePort S30 is a 3-in-1 laser welder that makes it easy enough for anyone to weld.

This thing not only welds, but also cuts, and cleans (and somehow makes all of it feel approachable instead of intimidating).

Beginners are laying down smooth welds in minutes, and the idea of handling stainless steel, aluminum, brass, or even copper with one compact system is pretty appealing.

It is precise, controlled, and noticeably cleaner than traditional welding, with fewer sparks and less mess. It even has the ability to weld underwater in case you want to do your welding project at the bottom of a pool.

Add in the big touch screen, beginner friendly presets, and modular design, and you get a tool that feels equally at home with welding beginners, hobbyists and serious DIY’ers.

Vertical Ergonomic Mouse

The SOLAKAKA E9 Pro is a vertical MMO mouse that does not ask you to trade comfort for performance (which is usually what happens with other vertical input devices).

The 45° vertical grip puts your hand in a more natural position, and the shape feels intentional rather than experimental. Add in the PAW3395 sensor and tri mode connection, and it moves just as confidently in a heated game as it does across a spreadsheet.

What really makes SOLAKAKA special is how usable it feels right away. The 10 button layout sits naturally under your thumb, so you are not hunting for commands or accidentally hitting the wrong one.

It is lightweight without feeling flimsy, the coating stays grippy even during long sessions, and the 1000mAh battery means you are not constantly thinking about charging. And the subtle RGB keeps it looking sharp without turning your desk into a light show.

Whether you are grinding through MMOs, jumping between creative tools, or just trying to make work a little easier on your hands, arms, and wrists, the E9 Pro feels like a smart upgrade that will improve your efficiency and how your body feels after a long work or play session.

World’s Slimmest Portable AC Power Bank

If you have ever been frustrated hauling your laptop charger with you while you travel or hunting for an outlet at an airport, NOOMDOT N1 gets the frustration.

The idea here is simple but brilliant. It is a slim, portable AC wall outlet you can toss in your bag. You get a full 70W pure sine wave AC output, which means your devices are just as happy as they would be at home, plus a 20,000mAh solid state battery that is built for safety and longevity.

It is only about 16mm thick, so it feels more like a large phone than a power station, and the 80 to 90 minute recharge time means it tops off while you grab a coffee.

What really makes this interesting is how practical it feels for real travel and work days. USB-C fast charging covers your laptop and phone, pass-through charging lets it power devices while it refuels, and the clean AC output protects sensitive gear from sketchy power.

The solid state battery tech promises better lifespan and stability than typical lithium packs, and the quiet active cooling keeps things steady under load.

Toss in support for international plug adapters and NOOMDOT N1 proves its a true mobile wall socket, not just another power bank with big promises.

World’s First Touch-Based Alcohol Detector

Have you ever had a few drinks and wondered where your blood alcohol content stands? Are you okay to drive or should you call an Uber?

Put your worries to rest with EthyloKey. EthyloKey works with a simple touch. You tap it, it reads your alcohol level through skin contact, and you get a clear, color coded result that tells you where you stand.

No drawing attention to yourself blowing into tubes or weird devices. This is the kind of testing device you would actually use before grabbing your keys.

It looks more like a sleek badge than a safety device, which is kind of the point. It charges wirelessly with Qi, slips easily into a pocket or onto your keychain, and connects to a smart app that can even help predict your alcohol level over time.

EthyloKey is trying to remove every excuse not to check, no stigma, no setup, no waste. It is a small, thoughtful idea that could quietly make a big difference, especially in those moments when a quick check really matters.

Ignite Your Adventures, Anytime, Anywhere.

Polar takes the idea of a lighter and expands on it in a genuinely clever way.

Right out of the box it is a lighter and a precision compass, both housed in solid titanium or brass with an open frame that shows off the craftsmanship.

If you want to go further, you can unscrew a couple of fasteners and reconfigure it with optional modules like a loupe, a small watch, or a waterproof capsule.

The fully sealed design dramatically cuts fuel evaporation, so you are not constantly discovering an empty lighter at the worst moment. A single refill can last weeks, not days, and the liquid filled compass stays accurate even when your phone battery does not.

Add in details like the hidden mirror, the foldable rotating compass, and the visible CNC machining, and Polar comes across as a lighter designed for people who appreciate reliability, longevity, and a bit of mechanical beauty in their everyday carry.

Replace Paper Business Cards With A Video Card

If you have ever walked out of a conference with a pocket full of business cards and zero memory of who half those people were, Vidcard instantly makes sense.

Instead of handing over another forgettable rectangle of paper, you hand someone a slim card with a built-in screen that plays your video intro. Your face, your voice, your vibe.

It turns that awkward name exchange into an actual moment, and people remember it far better than a traditional card. That alone feels like a win for anyone who networks for a living.

But VidCard offers more than just visual impact. One tap shares your info via NFC, no app required, and you can see who watched your video, when they watched it, and how long they stayed. That means follow ups stop being guesswork and start being timely.

Add the ability to update your details anytime without reprinting a thing, and you’ve got a long term solution that can be instantly updated.

If your goal is to be remembered instead of buried in a stack, Vidcard will make you stand out from the crowd.
