What?

Speaker 2
00:02
Whoa.

Speaker 2
00:03
Hello.

Speaker 2
00:03
How do you like that, ladies and gentlemen?

Speaker 2
00:06
It's called Bird Away.

Speaker 2
00:08
Bird Away?

Speaker 2
00:09
It is.

Speaker 2
00:09
You're not making this up.

Speaker 2
00:11
I thought this was for Halloween.

Speaker 2
00:12
No, no, no.

Speaker 2
00:13
Where's the package?

Speaker 2
00:13
Here, it has a package on it.

Speaker 2
00:15
Okay.

Speaker 3
00:15
Bird Away.

Speaker 2
00:15
This is a woodpecker and bird turret.

Speaker 3
00:18
Hey, you know, if I had a woodpecker,

Speaker 2
00:20
that would scare the woodpecker out of it.

Speaker 2
00:25
Um, and, uh, basically--

Speaker 2
00:28
Stop it!

Speaker 2
00:29
And basically what it does is you put it in the tree and then when a bird comes along

Speaker 2
00:36
and goes tweet tweet tweet it puts its beady eyes right in that bird's face and it gets

Speaker 2
00:42
lost.

Speaker 2
00:42
It's a water repellent?

Speaker 2
00:43
It claims to be somewhat water repellent.

Speaker 3
00:47
Sound activated, proven results.

Speaker 3
00:49
Right.

Speaker 3
00:49
What's it say here?

Speaker 3
00:50
Stops costly damage?

Speaker 3
00:52
I don't believe this.

Speaker 3
00:53
Okay.

Speaker 2
00:54
There's just something about this that isn't right.

Speaker 2
00:56
bird-away.com.

Speaker 2
00:59
Okay?

Speaker 2
01:00
You have that, Kimmy?

Speaker 2
01:01
Got that.

Speaker 2
01:02
Okay, what do you got?

Speaker 2
01:03
We're doing a segment on all kinds of new items.

Speaker 2
01:05
Welcome back.

Speaker 3
01:06
It's our show and tell segment.

Speaker 3
01:07
Yes, it's my turn, my turn.

Speaker 3
01:09
Look at this, Kimmy.

Speaker 3
01:09
Buzz has picked his favorites.

Speaker 3
01:10
I've picked good stuff.

Speaker 3
01:11
Ah, look at this.

Speaker 3
01:12
This is very cool.

Speaker 3
01:13
This is the new Leatherman 25-year guarantee,

Speaker 3
01:16
kind of 11-in-1 tool that starts out to being a pruning shear.

Speaker 3
01:20
And let me kick it on that.

Speaker 3
01:22
Again, it's a bypass pruner.

Speaker 3
01:24
That is cool.

Speaker 3
01:25
It is cool.

Speaker 3
01:26
other tools including let's open that up for me Henry while I read this.

Speaker 3
01:29
Non-flip handles, it's a soft wire cutter, it's a weed remover, it's a grafting knife,

Speaker 3
01:36
bark lifter, saw, flathead screwdriver, fillip screwdriver, sprinkler tool, bottle opener,

Speaker 3
01:44
ruler and nylon sheet and if you're a practicing or up and coming MD you can work on your surgical

Speaker 3
01:51
tools.

Speaker 3
01:52
Will you give this to me?

Speaker 3
01:53
We'll talk afterwards.

Speaker 3
01:55
They're not inexpensive.

Speaker 3
01:58
Uh, whoa!

Speaker 3
01:59
But a lot of the tools are built to last.

Speaker 3
02:03
They're in the Felco range when you're talking about--

Speaker 3
02:05
This is like 60 bucks.

Speaker 3
02:06
Yeah, it's well worth it, Henry.

Speaker 3
02:07
It's well worth it for all the convenience you have.

Speaker 3
02:09
The only thing I'd suggest that you don't do is go through a security checkpoint with one of these in your hands.

Speaker 3
02:14
I'm sure that the personnel would love it.

Speaker 3
02:16
Because they don't allow rose pruders on my airplane.

Speaker 2
02:19
Okay, take a look at this.

Speaker 2
02:20
See, this is the other side of this.

Speaker 2
02:23
This is for the bird friendly kind of stuff.

Speaker 2
02:25
Ready?

Speaker 2
02:25
Yeah.

Speaker 2
02:26
One, two, three.

Speaker 3
02:26
Yeah.

Speaker 2
02:27
See?

Speaker 3
02:28
Yeah.

Speaker 2
02:28
It's a little fold up bird feeder.

Speaker 2
02:34
Yeah.

Speaker 2
02:34
Well, that's what it does.

Speaker 2
02:35
Anyway, this and then here's another cool item that I like.

Speaker 2
02:39
What you do is you put this out in the morning and then you leave it out for at least 12 hours.

Speaker 2
02:43
And by the end of the day, it tells you how much sun a particular area got.

Speaker 2
02:48
So that when you're buying plants, you can say, oh, well, that area is full sun or partial shade.

Speaker 2
02:52
Okay.

Speaker 2
02:53
Both of these are by the--

Speaker 2
02:54
Is that intuitive?

Speaker 2
02:55
Well, it's only intuitive if you spend like 12 hours

Speaker 2
02:57
looking at a place, if it's, you know,

Speaker 2
02:58
'cause you get trees and stuff and shit.

Speaker 2
03:00
Anyway, these items were from Lee Valley,

Speaker 2
03:03
which is actually one of our favorite catalog folks,

Speaker 2
03:05
LeeValley.com.

Speaker 2
03:06
I think you should leave it at Lee Valley.

Speaker 2
03:08
Moving on.

Speaker 2
03:09
Be nice.

Speaker 2
03:10
Oh, oh, I'll tell you what I love about Lee Valley.

Speaker 2
03:12
Their boxes, you know, they arrive in boxes.

Speaker 2
03:14
Not only are the big boxes, not only are the cool products,

Speaker 2
03:17
but even their wrapping paper comes with instructions.

Speaker 2
03:20
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 2
03:21
paper used as void fill that means filler made from 100 recycled materials you can use it to

Speaker 2
03:26
compost for gardening or landscaping act as weed blocking to clean windows or as a craft supply

Speaker 3
03:31
or recycle so save that for another segment yeah so you put it down and block there you go

Speaker 3
03:35

Speaker 3
03:41

04:23
let me show you this thing from Brack and Keek.

Speaker 3
04:25
It's also for decks and patios and small areas

Speaker 3
04:28
where you can put this pouch

Speaker 3
04:30
and hang all your gardening stuff right inside this

Speaker 3
04:33

Speaker 2
04:40
This is also from Lee Valley.

Speaker 2
04:44
It is this.

Speaker 2
04:46
Oh, yeah, I saw this at the hardware show a couple years ago.

Speaker 2
04:48
- This is not a sex toy, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 2
04:51
Although those of you with dirty minds might think so.

Speaker 2
04:53
This is a pot lifter.

Speaker 3
04:56
- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, this is very neat, very neat.

Speaker 3
04:59
Again, for people with small spaces

Speaker 3
05:01
that need to move things, again, on decks and patios,

Speaker 3
05:04
that where you're one or two person

Speaker 3
05:06
and you don't have a dolly or something like that.

Speaker 3
05:09
Is that working, Henry?

Speaker 2
05:10
- Yeah, so this goes, now we've rehearsed this,

Speaker 2
05:12
so we know how to do this.

Speaker 2
05:13
Yeah.

Speaker 2
05:15
Go around.

Speaker 2
05:16
This goes around like so.

Speaker 3
05:17
Easy, snaps on.

Speaker 2
05:19
Ow.

Speaker 2
05:20
And then what you do is--

Speaker 2
05:22
Yeah, you just lift up.

Speaker 2
05:22
And then two people can lift it.

Speaker 2
05:24
Now, or even ow.

Speaker 2
05:26
Or even one person can lift it.

Speaker 2
05:27
The cool thing about this is that it--

Speaker 2
05:34
It's adjustable sizes.

Speaker 3
05:36
