Has Uncrate Jumped the Shark?
When I saw the battery-powered crescent wrench on uncrate, I was a little worried. It's not exactly a killer product. It's just a crescent wrench that doesn't require you to use your thumb to open and close the jaws. A bit lame, but one point does not make a pattern. But when I saw this, I knew it was time to put the site on a jump-the-shark watch. I'm still reserving final judgement on them -- maybe they were having trouble finding things to fill space in the post-holidays lull, for example -- but this is uncrate's one and only warning. It's time to shape up or ship out.
