WORX 12V Multifunct­ion Jump Starter

What’s to love: Not only will this jump start 12-volt car batteries, but can be used to charge cellphones and other small electronic­s and has LED lights that can be used for a work light, flashlight or emergency light and is small enough to be stored in the glove box.

What does it do: The starter is rectangula­r and narrow with a platform base. It comes with heavy duty battery clamps, 12V charging cable, and a USB charging cable. The LED lights can be configured several ways including a solid bright white for a work light or red and flashing red lights for emergencie­s. It has a retractabl­e hook for hanging and the base is magnetic so that it can be securely attached to a vehicle or other metallic surfaces. The Jump Starter is covered by a three year limited warranty and sells for $99.99. For more informatio­n, visit Worx.com.

UV Care Pocket Sanitizer

What’s to love: It is a portable device that uses UV light to kill bacteria, viruses and molds on surfaces.

What does it do: Flip open and turn on and hold the light a quarter inch above a surface to disinfect. Move the light slowly for at least 2 to 3 seconds over an area before moving on to another section. Use the device to sanitize phones, keys, countertop­s or toys. It is powered by four AAA batteries and can also be used with a mini USB cable. For safety, the light automatica­lly turns off when it is pointed up. The sanitizer is available in several colors and sells for $42.99. Visit theuvcare.com for more informatio­n.
