Wrench You Can't Regret

Between adjustable wrenches and socket sets, mankind has plenty of perfectly adequate tools to fasten and loosen nuts. But that doesn’t stop me from wanting this (concept) irising wrench all the same.


The design, the brainchild of Seattle designer Jordan Steranka, uses the same system as your camera lens to make the six-sided hole smaller or larger, depending on the type of nut you’re fiddling with. There’s also a light surrounding the aperture, so you can see what you’re trying to unscrew.

In theory, it simplifies your life by reducing the number of wrenches you need; in reality, it’s a more expensive/complicated version of two-moving-parts adjustable wrenches that have fixed your sinks for decades. But despite that, it’s so darn pretty, I want one just to hang up in my workshop.

The Powerpack: smallest and Long Standby Mini Cell Phone

What Is Mobile (Powerpack)? A mobile phone, known as a PDA in North America, is a flexible telephone that can make and get brings over a radio repeat interface while the customer is moving inside a phone utility area. The powerpack radio repeat interface sets up a relationship with the trading systems of a mobile phone chairman, which offers access to general society traded telephone arrange (PSTN). Introduce day PDA organizations use a telephone sort out designing, and, thusly, PDAs are called PDAs or cell phones, in North America. Despite correspondence, 2000s-time phones reinforce a variety of various organizations, for instance, content educating, MMS, email, Internet get the opportunity to, short-go remote exchanges (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, PC diversions, and propelled photography. PDAs offering only those limits are known as feature phones or Powerpack phones; PDAs which offer colossally pushed figuring capacities are suggested as PDAs. BUY The Power Pac...

ANDROID 8.0 OREO REVIEW

Got milk? 'Android Oreo' hides all the good stuff inside Android Nougat is so 2016. Like it or not, a new delectable dessert is in town: Oreo. It’s the name given by Google to the latest version of its Android mobile operating system. Android 8.0 Oreo follows  Android 7.1.2 Nougat , and it continues Google’s tradition of alphabetically naming its version updates  after desserts . It’s the second version of Android to use a brand name. The last was Android KitKat in 2013. Android 8.0, like its predecessor, has more under-the-hood changes than visible overhauls. There are plenty of new features (see our  Android Oreo roundup here ), but they’re all relatively minor. Still, these new additions and improvements show us how much more mature Android is now, and they make version 8.0 an update you don’t want to miss. As a note, we have been testing Android Oreo on a  Google Pixel . While all the features will be similar across other Android 8.0 devices, there may b...

A new view of twisted proteins could help scientists understand Alzheimer's.

A new view of twisted proteins could help scientists understand Alzheimer's. A critical molecule in the neurodegenerative disease has finally been mapped. Scientists still aren't sure what causes Alzheimer's—or how to treat it. A new study published this month in  Nature  marks a key milestone in  Alzheimer's research. It demonstrates  the first complete model  of a tau filament, a protein structure found in the brain cells of Alzheimer's patients and thought to be the cause of the neurodegenerative disease. Many scientists believe that tau proteins are the molecular building blocks of Alzheimer’s disease. Within the cell, these proteins clump together and group into tangles. These tangles are thought to inhibit cell communication, form lesions, and eventually cause the  memory loss  associated with Alzheimer’s. Different arrangements of tau proteins, or “morphologies,” can accompany different neurodegenerative diseases such  Par...
