COOL TOOLS UNTRIED
Cool Tools Untried look cool, but -- buyer beware -- may seem cooler than they actually are. Neither I nor any of our reviewers have actually used the items below, so we can't endorse them or speak from experience. If you have used any of these and can report (positively or negatively) -- or if you have a similar item you love -- please let us know. Until then, here's some intriguing stuff.
