Unique Stuff
|
Welcome to the “Unique Stuff” feature of the Hardware Hotline. Among the thousands of items that we stock, we thought it would be fun to highlight some items that are just plain... unique.
Meet the Wordlock:
The Wordlock is the most revolutionary idea to hit the padlock industry in years. I don’t know about you, but I frequently forget combinations to locks that I don’t use often. The word lock advances the paradigm of resettable padlocks: 5 letters, 10,000 combinations. Your personal combination can be anything that tickles your fancy - for that matter the combination could even be “fancy.”
And by the way, the Wordlock is also a strong and reliable combination padlock. Its hardened steel shackle and 2 5/8” metal lock discourages theft at school, in the gym, on the jobsite or around the house. Next time you are in need of a new combination padlock, give the Wordlock a try. Just $11.99 (5427018). But this month, to honor those heading back to campus, the Wordlock is just $7.88 at your local Cole Hardware.
The Butter Boat:
If members of your family are like mine, spreading soft butter onto toast in the morning is a big deal. A few years ago I came across a Butter Bell. You let your butter get soft, scoop it into the Butter Bell, and invert it over water. It works, but is a pain.

The Butter Boat, however, is great! It is a nice porcelain butter container that keeps butter at the perfect temperature. The outer basin is filled with water; a stick of butter gets placed into the inner liner. The liner “floats” over the water allowing the cool temperature to keep the butter soft. The Butter Boat is large enough to hold a stick and a half of butter. The Butter Boat is available in three colors, red, green and blue, and costs just $12.99. (621129,44,5)
