1) Rotating Wet & Dry Broom and Dustpan
Clean up both dry and wet messes with ease. This broom and dust pan tackles both kinds of dirty jobs—even if one mess is both at the same time. Switch between bristles and a squeegee with just a quick rotation of the broom head. And the extra-deep dustpan cleans up all the mess in one go.
2) Foam Block Kayak Carrier
No roof rack? No problem. This foam block kayak carrier system lets you secure a kayak to a car roof safely and without causing damage. It can do the job even with a roof rack in place, too. The blocks are V-shaped to cradle a kayak while locking straps secure them to a roof to help prevent shifting during transit.
