    Everybody, get up and dance… Switch, our new modular multi-tool pocket knife, is now available in the Quirky store! This product took a little longer than usual to design and render, but it was worth the wait. Buy yours now for a special pre-sale price of $68 (MSRP: $79) and don’t forget — free shipping if you commit in pre-sales!

    Looking for the perfect pocket knife? The search is over. Switch is the ultimate modular utility device, with 18 different attachments so you can mix and match your most frequently used tools. Customize your Switch’s width by swapping out the inner axles, or group your tools into different “themes” – home, office, outdoors, etc. However you choose to do it, Switch is your tool, your way.

    The Switch set includes:

    - Two exterior body covers, for encasing the tool attachments.

    - Two slotted caps to hold the tool together, which can be removed with the twist of a quarter to disassemble the unit.

    - Three interior axle assemblies – small (2-6 tools), medium (4-10 tools), and large (7-13 tools) — which can be swapped in and out depending on your desired tool width.

    - 18 tool attachments: Standard Knife, Pliers, Scissors, Nail File, Tweezers, Thin Flathead Screwdriver, Phillips-Head Screwdriver, Eyeglass Philips-Head Screwdriver, Eyeglass Flathead Screwdriver, Wood Saw, Serrated Saw, Corkscrew, Combination Bottle Opener/Flathead Screwdriver, Combination Can Opener/Wire Stripper, Pen, Magnifying Glass, LED Flashlight, 1GB USB Memory Stick.

    Quirky’s DigiDude is so hot, he once made Ann Curry swoon. But even though he plays hard to get, truth is, he can be bought. In his glory days, his going rate was $24.99, but times are tougher. It’s a recession, ya know? Now, he’s just 20 bucks.

    You heard it — we’ve decided to slash prices on the DigiDude from $24.99 to just $20! That’s $20 for one of Quirky’s best-selling products — a funky, portable camera tripod and key chain… with attitude.

    Simply screw off your Dude’s head and pull out his retractable legs for the perfect on-the-go camera mount. Your Dude’s portability factor will let you say goodbye to shaky hands, blurry pictures, cumbersome full-sized tripods, and unnecessary camera gear forever!

    Product specs:

    - Mounts most point-and-shoot cameras and flipcams. If it fits in your pocket, it should fit on your DigiDude.

    - Comes fully equipped with a keyring and retractable, adjustable legs so you can set your tripod’s height.

    - The Quirky Community has certainly added some flair to this one. Choose from five dudes: Pinky Scorsese, Snot Buster, iChomp, BoltBot, and G-Bling-Money-Son.

    Dare we say, “collect them all?”

    Mosey on over to the Quirky store and pick up yours today! He may act coy at the beginning, but we promise he won’t say no.

    Know before you stow with Weigh To Go — the latest socially-developed product to hit Quirky’s online store. This snazzy travel accessory is available for a special pre-sale price of $33 ($5 off the retail price of $38), and has a threshold of 775. Snatch yours up today!

    Weigh To Go is a multi-functional travel accessory whose compact form packs a digital scale, identification tag, and built-in lock to prevent theft. Tired of overweight baggage fees? With Weigh To Go, you can know before you stow!

    Weigh To Go’s slim interface is made up of:

    - A high gloss ABS plastic shell with a rubber bumper surrounding the exterior for protection while in transit.

    - A durable steel carabiner with a built-in combination lock. The combination can be reset by the user.

    - Two velcro straps that wrap around the underside of the luggage handle to secure the unit down.

    - A battery-powered scale for measuring weight.

    To use Weigh To Go, just press the power button and set your unit — pounds or kilograms. Reset the weight to zero by pressing the tare button, and release the velcro straps from the underside of the luggage handle, making sure the steel carabiner is secured. Grab the Weigh To Go body and pull upward, lifting the suitcase gently off the ground.

    Once the luggage is lifted for about five seconds, slowly lower and rest the suitcase on the ground. The Weigh To Go handle will display a recording of the weight on its digital interface. To shut the unit off, press power button again or wait 45 seconds and it will power off automatically.
