Garden Hose Pistol: Water Your Plants With Extreme Prejudice

I have to believe that some company, somewhere has developed a squirt gun that could be mounted on a garden hose—but I doubt it looked as cool as this concept version.

The "Garden Gun 5.1" was designed as part of a project called The Design Reaktor Berlin. Apparently, the driving force behind the project is to facilitate collaborations between up and coming designers and small to medium-sized companies. It's not going to change the world, but I would feel like more of a man watering flowers with this than I would with a traditional hose gun attachment. [Design Reaktor via Trendhunter]

Coiled "Garden Hose" Radiator is Versatile, Mobile

Generally, I don't consider radiators to be all that interesting (unless it is shaped like a Lego brick), but this coiled radiator design from Ciussai is definitely an exception. The metal wire tubing can be wound and stretched much like a garden hose, which gives it far more functionality than simply heating a room. For example: you can coil it around a bar to dry clothes or lay it on your bed to warm things up on a cold night. I don't know how safe all of this is, but I love the idea. And the best part is that it can actually be purchased from Ad Hoc—although pricing details are unknown.
