Fiskars Momentum Reel Mower
When you hear the words “Fiskars” and “mower” used together, you might imagine a treacherous fraterinty gag in which a pledge is forced to trim the grass using nothing but a pair of two-bladed cut-ups, but as it turns out, the company makes real mowers, and damn fine ones at that. The Fiskars Momentum Reel Mower uses the company’s InertiaDrive technology to store energy until added power is needed while also reducing friction and blade wear, and also offers the greatest cutting range of any reel mower thanks to a forward-mounted cutting reel and long wheel base. And since it’s people-powered, it’s also among the greenest mowers you can buy.

Crosley Revolution
Despite the company’s reputation for nostalgic, grandparent-friendly designs, the Crosley Revolution isn’t a wooden turntable with looks from the middle of last century. Far from it, in fact: the Revolution is a novel new turntable that leaves most of the record exposed thanks to a compact, sleek design. Able to be powered by batteries, the Revolution is highly portable, and features a rubberized finish, two speeds, a USB port for analog-to-digital conversion, dual headphone jacks, built-in stereo speakers, and a carrying case.
