X-treme Geek

This mail order supply carries more Cool Tool items than anywhere I've seen. I've also found more items here that I would like to try for Cool Tools than anywhere else. The outfit sells clever stuff, most of it not ridiculous prestige and life-style crap, but honest attempts to be useful. Like its competitor Think Geek, X-treme Geek favors products that are high tech, slightly unusual, maybe hackable, and certainly ingenious. However X-treme has a wider range of stuff than Think Geek. I really enjoy browsing their large-format, paper catalog.

Comments

 

A cool tool is anything useful that is superior to comparable items. If you think this tool is inferior suggest a better one. You are welcome to insult a tool, but comments containing insults to individual people will be deleted. Corrections of fact are always welcomed, if stated politely. Recommendations of better tools are dearly wanted and may be elevated to the front page.
