With so many cool things coming out each week, it can be hard to wade through all the rock-awesomeness. With ‘Cool Tools’, we’ve done the hard work for you.

This week we saw the release of the all-new (and one-handed) Kindle Oasis, a new take on modular furniture for DJs, an app for helping you collect “acorns”, how to make a robotic lawn mower, an insane 360-degree view of a rocket launch and more…

Ready? Let’s go!

This week we look at:
