Guided By the Light

Having trouble cutting a straight line? Try a pair of laser-guided scissors. Click a button on the handle, and it emits a laser beam across whatever you´re slicing. Ideaworks Laser Scissors, $15; jobar.com

Klutz-Proof

Not only is this 7.1-megapixel pocket shooter waterproof to 10 feet, but the circuit board is on a shock-absorbing bracket, so it can withstand a five-foot fall. Olympus Stylus 720 SW, $400; olympusamerica.com

Microchip Shot

Slice your drive into the rainforest? A tiny radar chip in each ball communicates with the scanner so you can find it. RadarGolf, $250; radargolf.com Click here for a hands-on review by PopSci's GM.

No More Double Knots

Turn the dial on the back, and a ratcheting spool pulls on the nylon-polymer-coated stainless-steel laces to snug up your kicks. North Face Endurus XCR Boa, $130; northface.com
