DJI Osmo Action 4 Motorcycling/Mountain Cycling Combo
DJI's Osmo Action 4 action camera in a bundle aimed at riders, for anyone who wants helmet or handlebar footage without moving up to the newest model.
$185.54See it on AmazonThis deal has endedPrice as ofThe Osmo Action 4 uses a 1/1.3-inch sensor, larger than most action cameras, and records 4K at up to 120 frames per second. DJI rates it waterproof to 18 m without a case, and its 1770 mAh battery is rated to work down to -20 C, which matters for winter rides.
It suits someone filming bike or motorcycle trips who wants good low-light footage. The Osmo Action 5 Pro above it adds OLED screens, 47 GB of built-in storage and a longer-running battery (DJI lists 240 minutes against 160 for the Action 4). If those matter, look there instead.
Worth knowing This is two generations back: DJI now sells the Action 5 Pro and Action 6. There is no built-in storage, so you need a microSD card. DJI's own page doesn't list this combo's box, so check the listing for which mounts are included.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 [GPS + Cellular 49mm] (Black Titanium Case w/ Black Titanium Milanese Loop)
Apple Watch Ultra 3 with cellular and a black titanium case, for iPhone owners who want a watch that runs well past a day between charges.
$649.00Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe Ultra 3 has a 49 mm titanium case and a wide-angle OLED screen Apple rates at up to 3000 nits. Apple lists up to 42 hours of battery, or up to 72 hours in Low Power Mode, dual-frequency GPS, water resistance to 100 m, recreational dives to 40 m, and Emergency SOS by satellite.
It suits hikers, swimmers and anyone tired of charging nightly. Against the Series 11, Apple's comparison shows the Ultra 3 with roughly 42 hours of battery against 24, a brighter screen, and 100 m water resistance against 50 m. If you mainly want notifications and fitness rings, the Series 11 is smaller and lighter on the wrist.
Worth knowing Apple has since released the Ultra 4, so this is the previous model. It needs an iPhone, and the cellular side needs a plan from your carrier. This listing comes with the titanium Milanese Loop band; check its size against your wrist.

BOSCH GOF13-25 1-3/4 HP Mid-Size Plunge Router - 11,000 to 28,000 RPM, Ergonomic Design, With Detachable Parallel Guide
A new mid-size Bosch plunge router for edge profiles, dados and inlay work, sized for a home shop rather than heavy production routing.
$99.00Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe GOF13-25 is a corded 1-3/4 HP plunge router with a 10.8 amp motor and variable speed from 11,000 to 28,000 RPM. Bosch lists 2 inches of plunge depth with an eight-step depth stop, and the box includes a parallel guide, a roller guide, a dust hood for surface routing, a centering pin and a wrench.
It suits someone starting out with a router or adding a lighter second one for edge work. Bosch's larger MRP23EVS has a 2.3 HP, 15 amp motor, 3 inches of plunge and both 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch collets, but it weighs 12.6 lb against 7.7 lb for this one.
Worth knowing It comes with a 1/4-inch collet only, so 1/2-inch shank bits won't fit, and there is no fixed base in the box. Dust extraction is a hood for surface routing, so plan on a shop vac for the cleanest cuts.

Fluke BK120 SmartTrace Breaker Finder & Socket Tester
Fluke's two-piece breaker finder for homeowners and handymen who are tired of flipping breakers one by one to find the right circuit.
$49.99Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe BK120 has two parts. The transmitter plugs into an outlet on the circuit you want, and the handheld receiver, run along the panel, beeps and lights at the matching breaker. The transmitter also runs a one-button GFCI test and a simple wiring check with red and green lights, and the receiver doubles as a non-contact voltage detector from 90 to 240 V. The receiver runs on two AAA batteries, which are included.
It suits anyone about to replace an outlet, fixture or switch in a house with an unlabeled panel. Fluke also sells it in kits with a 107 multimeter or a T5-600 tester if you need to take readings as well.
Worth knowing The transmitter is rated for 110 to 125 V, so it traces ordinary household circuits, not 240 V lines. Fluke's page doesn't list which wiring faults the light check tells apart, so it is no substitute for a full outlet analyzer.

12" Tramontina Signature Tri-Ply Clad Stainless Steel Frying Pan
A 12-inch Tramontina Signature tri-ply stainless skillet for searing, pan sauces and anything that needs to finish in the oven.
$34.49Shop on AmazonLowest price we've postedPrice as ofThis is the 12-inch size of Tramontina's Signature fry pan. It is fully clad: an aluminum core between two layers of 18/10 stainless steel. Tramontina lists it for every cooktop including induction, oven-safe to 500 F, NSF-certified, with a riveted stainless handle that has a hanging hole. It can go in the dishwasher, though Tramontina suggests washing by hand.
It suits a cook ready to move past nonstick for searing meat and building sauces from the browned bits. Tramontina also makes a tri-ply pan with a ceramic nonstick inside, which is easier for eggs and fish.
Worth knowing Plain stainless needs preheating and some oil, or eggs and fish will stick. No lid is listed with it. At 12 inches it is a big, fairly heavy pan for a small stovetop or cabinet.
