The Perfect Pushup is one of the more innovative fitness tools I’ve seen over the years. Invented by a former Navy SEAL, the device is designed to give you better push ups. With padded bottoms to keep your hands in place and rotating handles that move naturally with your hands, the Perfect Pushup exercises more muscles than traditional push ups and reduces strain.

The Perfect Pushup really does do a good job at reducing strain. Normally when I do push ups, I’m limited by the endurance of my wrists, which get easily fatigued. With the Perfect Pushup, there is no wrist or elbow strain so I can do more push ups. The device isn’t one of those “miracle” products that will get you a buff body in days, but will make building muscle go faster as it lets you get more push ups done more easily and more quickly. It lets you have a great workout without pain and soreness.

Many people are hesitant to do push ups because of the pain and soreness they cause, and many more don’t enough know how to correctly do a push up. Hopefully the Perfect Pushup will change that. It can be bought on Amazon.com for only $39.99, which is cheaper than at retail stores. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in fitness, gurus and beginners alike.

Rarely have I written something so unusual at PC Fastlane as this review of the Pedegg Ped Egg foot file. Pedicures are expensive, and rough feet can be ghastly to look at. The PedEgg hopes to end that.

The PedEgg is good at taking care of dry, callused feet. It used special micro files to gently remove dry skin and calluses from feet, and comes with buffing pads to give your feet a finished look. To avoid creating a mess, the egg-shaped product contains a storage compartment that collects skin shavings. The device is easy to use, and its ergonomic design makes it comfortable to use. When you buy a Ped Egg, you get two buffering pads, 2 PedEggs, and some sort of miracle foot cream that I haven’t tried yet.

Though mainly sold on TV, the PedEgg is also sold online at Amazon.com for a bit less. Either way of ordering will work, but I personally prefer Amazon as it is quicker than calling and I don’t have to pay tax.

The Gecko Grip is a new laser level by Black & Decker that gets the job done. Using special Accu Mark targets, you can easily hang pictures, mirrors, shelves, and just about anything else with ease. The product’s non-slip Gecko grip pads keep the level in place so well that you only need one hand to operate it. It is probably one of the better levels I’ve seen. If you’re looking for a level, this one’s it.

The Brita Slim Pitcher is a nice little piece of kitchenry that makes ordinary tap water cleaner and crisper. With bottled water so expensive, the Brita pitcher is a great way to get good-tasting water on the cheap. The pitcher works using an inexpensive filter (one filter is included with the pitcher), and holds 40 fluid ounces. Brita products eliminate 98% of lead in water, removes chlorine and other bad tastes from water, and is inexpensive. This particular pitcher has a slim design so it will easily fit in refrigerators of all sizes. It is perfect for dorms, apartments, the office, or smaller families.

The Brita Slim Pitcher can be purchased at Amazon with one filter included for only $12.14. A bigger pitcher is also available for $20.99.

The Zircom LaserBall 360 is a nice little gadget that lets you project lines in any direction, making hanging pictures and similar tasks a breeze. The LaserBall 360 can mount on just about anything and includes an illuminated 4-way bubble level. Its unique mounting cup system allows for secure placement, but won’t damage walls.

This tool is great for any home improvement task where accurate alignment is necessary. It can be used for putting up shelves, hanging pictures, and more. At less than $10, it’s a great value for the money.

The Leatherman Skeletool CX Multitool is the thing to have for the man around the house. Combining a variety of tools with a 25-year warranty, its Tungsten scratch-resistant coating and stainless steel and carbon-fiber handles will dazzle any outdoor or home improvement guru.

The Skeletool CX has plier jaws that can cut all kinds of wire, and bend fish hooks. The tool also features a sturdy knife that can cut just about anything, as well as a bottle opener. For added security, a safety lock is present on the tool. Perhaps the best feature of the multitool, however, is the included universal bit driver, which allows anything that uses a standard bit driver (such as screwdriver heads) to be added and used.

Get the Skeletool CX for yourself or that special someone for only $79.85 at Amazon.com with free shipping and no sales tax in most states. Use it for around the house, hunting, fishing, and more.

Brita’s water filters are one of the most popular ways of purifying water at home, but they’re expensive and sometimes hard to find. However, I was able to find a pack of 3 for only $16.99 at Amazon.com. The filters produce water that tastes just as good as the bottled stuff, but at a much lower price. They will remove a variety of impurities, and make the water taste more refreshing. The filters should be changed every two months or 40 gallons (whichever comes first).
