Magnus: The Magnetic Play Couch

This Play Couch Has Magnets, and Your Kids Are Gonna Love It

If you've ever seen a kid go absolutely feral over a pile of foam blocks, just wait until you see their reaction when they realize their blocks have magnets in them. 

Magnus 2 is a 14-piece play couch set with five different shapes, and the whole thing snaps together so solidly that your kids can actually build a fort, a slide, or a spaceship without it collapsing. Impressive, right?

What sets Magnus apart from every other play couch on the market is that magnetic connection system, which means the pieces stay put while kids are climbing, jumping, and doing whatever chaotic thing they've decided the structure is today. 

Most toys promise the world and deliver something your kid forgets about in two weeks. Magnus 2 is the kind of thing that earns permanent play room real estate, which is either exciting or terrifying depending on how attached you are to your floor space.

If your kids are into imaginative play, Magnus 2 checks every box. It just launched, so grab your 24 hour 50% discount now!

Everstt Dutch Oven – Cook More. Stress Less

One Pot to Rule Your Kitchen (and Your Stovetop, and Your Grill)

If you've ever stood in your kitchen what pot you should use to prepare your meal the Everstt Dutch Oven was made for that exact moment. 

It's a Dutch oven, an everyday pot, a grill, and a griddle, all built into one piece of cookware. Flip the lid and you've got a grilling surface; keep it on and you've got a classic dutch oven.

The black enamel coating is where things get interesting, because it's not just there to look good. It creates a harder surface that holds up over time and gives you the kind of heat retention that turns a home kitchen sear into something restaurant-worthy. 

It works on every heat source you can think of, gas, induction, ceramic, electric, oven, and even an open fire. You're not buying a pot that only performs under specific conditions and collects dust the rest of the time. This one travels, adapts, and handles whatever cooking situation you throw at it.

The Watch Band That's Also Your Charger (Yes, Really)

The EnergyLink Gen 2 is a charging system that is woven right into the watch band. It’s Universal USB-C magnetic wireless band keeps your watch powered at all times.

The new 4.8W Rapid Charge engine pushes an Apple Watch Series 10 from 20% to 80% in roughly 38 minutes, which is conveniently fast for on-wrist charging.

The titanium version is made from 99% pure Grade 5 titanium, which puts it around 50% lighter than stainless steel at just 45 grams. The band is IP68-rated, hypoallergenic, and built with a center jacquard weave that actually promotes airflow, so wearing it all day isn’t a problem.

It also includes a 5,000 mAh charging case in the box, which can power two devices simultaneously. 

With EnergyLink Gen 2 you can say goodbye to Apple Watch battery anxiety forever. The launch limited rewards are still available if you pledge today!

KeyMaster 3.0:
The Next Evolution of Key-Shaped Toolbox

This isn’t a multi-tool. This is a key-shaped toolbox.

KeyMaster 3.0 is the third generation of a key-shaped titanium multi-tool from EDC Monster, a crew with seven successful crowdfunding campaigns under their belt. At 53.7 grams and 74.5mm long, it lives comfortably on your keychain rather than sitting in a drawer.

The upgrades this time around are impressive. A fully adjustable spanner (0 to 16mm range), a magnetic bit driver system that snaps bits into place without the usual fussing around, and a replaceable blade setup so you never have to sharpen anything. 

The tool also packs a mini saw, pry bar, bottle opener, ruler, nail file, wire bender, firestarter edge, and a handful of other things you won't need until you very suddenly do. 

It's precision-machined titanium with a sandblasted finish, so it'll look decent even after years of pocket carry.

If you're the kind of person who likes being prepared without hauling around a full tool bag, KeyMaster 3.0 is exactly what you need.

Renchi: Modern Wrench Re-Engineered.

The Wrench That Actually Works Like You Want It To

If you've ever spent 45 seconds spinning the little worm gear on an adjustable wrench just to watch it slip off the bolt anyway, congrats, you've lived the exact frustration the Renchi was built to fix. 

The tool is based on a 1897 design by Terry Coleman that moved the jaw along a linear axis, no rotating gears, just a clean slide and lock. They updated it with 12 heavy-duty locking plates and one-handed thumb adjustment, and the result is a wrench that actually holds what it grabs.

The jaw opens up to a full 80mm, which puts a lot of bolt sizes in play that a standard monkey wrench simply can't reach, and the self-locking mechanism means no more "jiggle and hope" when torque is on the line. 

The whole tool is only five parts, only 10mm thick, and drop-forged from a combination of high-performance steels including chrome vanadium and chromium-molybdenum.

Beyond just wrenching, the Renchi pulls off a surprisingly long list of secondary tricks, including use as a hammer, nail puller, caliper, hex bit driver, gear hook, and even a bottle opener for after the job.
