The Fold-Up Utility Trailer from Lifetime Products Inc. is your answer. A recent study of 500 homeowners conducted by Lifetime showed that almost 31 percent of us would like to have a utility trailer but they have no place to store it.

This trailer fits the bill. When you are done hauling, pull out the easy-to-use crank and fold the trailer down to 29 inches in width in less than 90 seconds.

It is the perfect size to tuck into the back corner of the garage or roll through the gate toward the back yard while still leaving plenty of space for cars in the garage and leisure areas in the yard.

In addition to ease of storage and usability, the trailer is packed with features, including removable front and rear gates that double as ramps, allowing owners to easily load and unload larger, heavier items such as motorcycles, ATVs or jet skis; weather- and scratch-resistant finish to protect from harsh environments, as well as the wear and tear encountered during loading and unloading; fully attached light kit including brake lights, turn signals, tail lamps and a wire harness for safety; and the ability to hold 1,000 to 1,500 pounds, depending on model.

The space-saving trailer comes in three sizes: 4 feet by 6 feet, 5 feet by 6 feet, and 5 feet by 8 feet. Retail prices range from $900 to $1,400.

HOT FAUCET

It's fun and it's functional. The temperature-controlled Faucet Light from Hog Wild is designed to determine the temperature of the flowing water and shine a corresponding stream of light that changes with the temp.

The Faucet Light replaces the aerator on the end of your faucet and the technology inside is able to determine the temperature of the water.

When the flowing water is cold, the light is blue. When the water hits 89 degrees, the light stream changes to red. When the water is off, the light goes off.

"It's a product that we think is fun, funky and functional," said Joe Rooper, president of Hog Wild. "It has a unique wow-factor that everyone enjoys, but is also very practical in helping prevent possible scalds or accidents."

For kids, it encourages them to spend more time at the sink brushing their teeth or washing their hands. For adults, it serves as a unique night light. For seniors, it lets them know in advance when the water is getting hot.

Not to mention, it's a real conversation starter.

The device is 2 1/2 inches long and 1 1/4 inches in diameter. It includes a set of two universal adapters that fit virtually every U.S. faucet and screws on in seconds. It is available in chrome and brushed silver finishes and includes a set of button cell batteries in the product as well as an additional replacement set. Typical battery use is around four months.

The Faucet Light retails for $22. Hog Wild also makes a Shower Light that works the same way and retails for $50. For more information, call 888-231-6465 or visit www.hogwildtoys.com.
