Top men’s summer gadgets for work and play
From a grill cleaning tool to a chair that will make working from home more comfortable, David Novak of Gadget Gram has the latest in tech for work and play.
Pocket Shot 2.0 Slingshot, $49
The newly-designed Pocket Shot
2.0 is the evolution of the world’s first and only circular slingshot. The original
Pocket Shot was dubbed the “baddest” slingshot on the planet, but it just got
lighter, stronger and faster with the release of the 2.0. The Pocket Shot 2.0
is constructed of aluminum and it comes in three versions: all Black, Silver
and Red, and Gold and Purple. The 2.0’s aluminum chassis operates on a set of
three gimbals. The innermost gimbal holds the pouch and it can move freely in
360 degree rotation, which allows for easy aiming. Its patented, circular
design allows users to load and shoot projectiles at two to three times the
rate of a regular slingshot. The Pocket Shot 2.0 shoots projectiles up to 350
feet per second; recommended ammo includes 1/4-inch to 5/16-inch steel slugs,
marbles, small paintballs (0.4 cal) and Airsoft. The Pocket Shot 2.0 includes
aluminum rings, a silicone grip and two Pro pouches. The new Pro Pouch has a
longer draw length than the previous pouch and is 2x more durable. Finally, the
2.0 has a custom silicone grip that wraps around the outer ring, giving you a
non-slick point of contact and easy-to-shoot grip.
Great Scrape BBQ Cleaning Tool, $34.99
The Great Scrape is an
all-natural BBQ cleaning tool and wood grill scraper. It is an alternative to
the old metal wire brush. It custom forms to the grill, so it does a great job
cleaning because it hugs each of the grates. You don’t have to worry about
bristles getting in the food. Safe for all types of grates, including
porcelain, cast iron and stainless steel. Made of premium quality hardwood to
last years. Easy to clean, just wipe off with a paper towel or cloth.
