Cold hands? The "USB Hand Warmer" is for you.



With winter just around the corner, Thanko has introduced the "USB Hand Warmer." Its price for a single hand model is 1,980 yen, and for both hands (a set of two units) is 1,980 yen.

The "USB Hand Warmer," doesn't really need an explanation, but we'll do it anyway: it is a hand warmer that gets power from the USB bus itself. It can be used o­n either the left or right hands, since the four fingers stick out the end. The product can be used to protect against the cold, or in places with temperatures that don't rise, such as server rooms.

The heater is in the palm of the hand. The holes for the fingers are o­n the bottom, but turning the glove over should allow you to heat the tops of your hands.
