For boys of a certain age, Doctor Who's Sonic Screwdriver was the ultimate gadget. This blandly named Swiss Army Knife from a galaxy far far away made MacGyver look like an outsourced sysadmin.
This new toy from ThinkGeek does almost nothing more than the hand built versions we made as kids, other than flashing lights and sound. It is, however, more authentic than any other toy: According to the product blurb, the original toy was made bigger than the prop so the batteries would fit. The show's FX department took a mold of the that and then used a replica in the show.
Bonus feature? A UV pen and UV lamp built in for secret writing. $13.
