Looking remarkably like a small cheap tennis racket this bug batter has a wicked secret. When you turn it on the wires in the head of the racket ‘go live’. So not only does a good swing of the Zapper give your bug a thwack but it also electrocutes the little critter because it’s good to be sure a bug with a revenge kick is not a pretty sight. Now there may well be a Fly Protection League who’ll be up in arms (or indeed proboscis) about this wonderful contraption but we’re afraid that that’s just tough because boy is this gizmo fun or what! Racquet style bug zapper Comes with cover Size: 49×17.5x2cm Requires 2 x AA batteries not included

If gently prising the cap off your Bud with a conventional opener seems a bit tame, why not go for a quicker and altogether more entertaining, and deeply satisfying approach to bottle opening? The stainless steel ZapCap is a chic step up from the plastic version and an ingenious British invention that removes any crown cap via smartly-applied downward pressure. Hidden inside is a spring-loaded mechanism. Place the whole contraption over the bottle top and zap it down with the flat of the hand to lift off the cap in one action. It even magnetically retains the top for disposal later – though if you give it a rather over-zealous thwack the top can adopt a mind of its own.
