The Party Hub Grill-Fryer

— Craftsman Lighted Pliers

What’s to love:

A built-in light on your pliers that illuminates your work area.

What’s it do:

Next month Craftsman will introduce needle nose, diagonal cutter and linesman’s pliers with an LED light that rotates with the jaws, keeping the light where you need it. Perfect for low light conditions or where you just need that extra bit of illumination.

The light module is sealed so it is water- and oil-proof and it’s powered with three replaceable watch batteries. The pliers sell for $19.99.

What’s to love:

A variety of ways to cook, all in one outdoor “grill-fryer.” The grill is portable, making it great for tailgating or picnicking.

What’s it do:

The round outdoor cooking device is centered with a deep fryer in the center. The fryer is surrounded by three other surfaces, an infrared ceramic burner that reaches temperatures of 650 degrees, a griddle and a warming plate. It has independent temperature controls for each surface and an electronic pulse ignition. It sells for $249.99.
