Mouse makes sanding easier, more efficient
Sanding is not as easy at it seems. Don't fret, help is on the way.
The new Mouse palm grip detail sander/polisher with Zone Touch Technology by Black and Decker gives feedback while sanding.
The light tells you when it's right.
A three-position Zone Light indicator communicates when the sander is working most efficiently, eliminating those divots and "oops" in your sanding projects.
By sensing motor speed, the light responds. A single green light is proper for light sanding while a full green light is right for the best finish for most sanding projects. If you get a red light, lighten up, you're applying too much pressure.
In addition, this tool has auto calibration, a feature that calibrates the three-position indicator based on the incoming voltage from the power outlet each time your turn on the Mouse. Therefore, natural power fluctuations in your home won't throw the machine off.
A separate detail finger attachment sands deep into corners and other hard-to-reach places. The Mouse also is sold with groove, outer-curve and inner-curve sanding attachments to sand curved areas like chair spindles, dowels, recessed areas of woodworking projects, grooved surfaces and more. In all, there are 24 sanding accessories. Retail price for the Mouse is $40 and it comes with a full two-year warranty.

New Bloomers in season year-round
Even if you don't have a green thumb or the time it takes to try to grow one, here's a chance to impress others with your gardening skills. New Bloomers are lifelike roses that attach to your existing bushes in an instant.
With blooms in red, yellow, pink, coral and white, and three growth cycles -- bud, half-bloom and full-bloom -- you can create a magnificent garden without getting dirty or breaking a sweat.
Additionally, the natural looking silk roses are ideal for making centerpieces and for special celebrations such as weddings, showers and garden parties.
The blooms attach to any plant with a comblike clip. They stay beautiful through all types of weather and will not interfere with the plant's natural growth.
They make an ideal substitute for real roses, allowing you to cut and enjoy the live flowers inside your home without leaving the bush outside bare.
New Bloomers are sold in sets of four for $18.95, plus shipping.
