If your summer itinerary includes building furniture, assembling computer parts, or just tightening some nuts and bolts, then an electric screwdriver is a sound investment.

It’s as handy as a traditional screwdriver and is on sale right now for basically half off (with the 40% off clip-on coupon).

Smart glasses haven’t taken off like wireless earbuds and smartwatches, but they offer notable benefits that you may not be aware of. For one, this pair from Razer doesn’t just play music out of its side-firing speakers; it also doubles as blue light filters to reduce eye strain and fatigue if you spend your work days staring at a screen.

The Razer Anzu also supports touch and voice controls, so you can play and pause your audio source, take phone calls, and even ask your phone or computer’s voice assistant questions.

When was the last time you cleaned your phone, tablet, or laptop screen? And by clean, I mean using a liquid solution to spray down any icky residue and post-meal fingerprint smudges, followed by a light brushing with a microfiber cloth. Whoosh is an all-in-one cleaning solution that I’ve been using with all of the gadgets that I test. It’s alcohol-free, so the liquid won’t damage the oil-repellent coating on your screens. And, here’s a secret: Apple stores use Whoosh to clean its demo devices.

Hear me out: a power strip that can charge your phones, wireless earbuds, smartwatches, and more, without any worry of plug-in space or cables being too bulky. This option from Anker comes with six outlets that flank both sides and the top of the strip, two USB-A ports, and a USB-C. It’s relatively compact, and the central power plug is angled so it lays flush against the wall.

A flip toaster was not on my bingo board when venturing into the deepest, darkest corners of Amazon, but this one is both thoughtful and on sale, so I’m giving it the feature. The Foodi 2-in-1 Flip Toaster is not only great for toasting up bagels and bread, but it can lay flat to become an oven for baking chicken wings and other snacks. 

There’s even a touch interface for you to preheat and achieve the optimal cooking settings for different types of foods.

A traditional vacuum cleaner is great, but the heavy yet never long enough cords and noisiness make it unviable for casual cleaning. That’s why mini vacuum cleaners exist. They’re rechargeable (read: cordless), and are great for dust-busting office desks, sucking up fallen crumbs, and cleaning the nooks and crannies of your car seats, among other places. This one from Beyond is on sale right now for 32% off.

Whether you have a summer vacation planned or take plenty of photos and videos daily, a portable SSD is your best bet for safe and secure storage. With it, you can store terabytes worth of memories and save yourself the hassle of trying to remember the username and password to your cloud storage account. 

This one from Samsung, in particular, is built to withstand splashes and dust, meaning you can pack it up for beach parties and more extreme environments.
