We've been fans of Sugru since before the stuff even launched and are not surprised to see it's been a smashing success. What we didn't foresee is that there's a way to make it even better: Magnets.
Last year, Jane Ni Dhulchaointigh, Sugru's inventor, accidentally broke the mount for her bike light. When product designers have accidents, fortunate discoveries are often made; so it was with Jane, who hacked the light back onto her bike with Sugru and magnets. Realizing that this was a far more convenient way to attach, remove and re-attach a bike light—as well as thousands of other things that need attaching—the Sugru team set about finding magnets with the perfect blend of size, strength and versatility, then spent a year testing them in the field.
Now the Sugru + Magnets Kit is ready to go, albeit in limited release; presumably they're being cautious and dipping their foot in the water. Click here if you want to get in on the first batch of just 1,000 kits.
