traction

Pump-Action Relief... From Stiff Necks

Bless Skymall and its world of wonderful and strangely fascinating gizmos for bringing us this: the portable neck traction device, supposed to help relieve tight muscles and "joint and nerve pressure." Simply place around your neck (that's a worrying start, if you ask me) and "pump the inflation bulb until you feel a comfortable stretch." That'll be somewhere short of popping your head off like an unfortunate Legoman, I guess. Available now, for all you crick-necked blog readers who don't sit at your PC properly, in three neck sizes for $69.98. [Skymall via Random Good Stuff]

SkyMall Construction Radio/iPod Dock Is Almost Pointlessly Rugged

Not feeling enough like a real man with that Bose Portable SoundDock? Well roll up your sleeves past your biceps and grab hold of this Construction Radio and iPod dock. Not only does it snugly hold your iPod, but this 10-lb $130 hoss has a spotlight, two power outlets, an SD card slot and a USB jack for charging phones or connecting a music source. Since it's found in the SkyMall catalog, we don't have the full drop-test ratings, but anything with that much metal piping is at least bound to protect your iPod's LCD while you're off soldering or jigsawing or jackhammering—whatever it is you're always doing in that shed of yours.

Breakfix Cereal Dispenser

This is another one of the great gadgets offered by the folks at Skymall. It's a device that dispenses a perfected portioned bowl of cereal every time. No longer will you have to deal with that box of cereal and keeping the bag sealed with clips and whatnot. Just load up the Breakfix with your cereal of choice and it can dispense a bowl's worth with a simple push of a button. It operates off of batteries, which baffles me because aren't devices like this supposed to be all mechanical? Oh well, no more Lucky Charms overdoses for me! Video demonstration after the jump. $80.
