For those looking to maximize functionality while minimizing clutter, IKEA has introduced several mini gadgets capable of enhancing everyday tasks. Here are five notable tech products currently available at the retailer that may serve as useful additions to any home.
Kniffliger Schraubenzieher
The $30 Kniffliger Schraubenzieher offers a compact solution for DIY enthusiasts lacking storage space for bulkier tools. Measuring just 6.5 x 5.3 x 1.7 inches, this mini screwdriver can easily fit into kitchen drawers or bedside tables. It is well-equipped to handle tasks such as picture hanging, repairs, and furniture assembly, featuring an integrated LED light for visibility in dim areas, a magnetic tip for holding bits and screws, and a comfortable rubber grip. The screwdriver requires approximately five hours to charge with a separate USB-C cable, sold separately, and does not include screwdriver bits, which can be purchased with the Trixig 20-piece drill and bit set for an additional $9.
Tragbares Varmfront-Ladegerät
The $23 Tragbares Varmfront-Ladegerät is a compact power bank with a capacity of 5,200 mAh, capable of charging two devices simultaneously—one via USB-A and another via USB-C. With up to 12 watts of charging power, the USB-C option can quickly charge most tablets and smartphones. Notably, the power bank possesses automatic device detection, adjusting its output to meet individual power needs. Four LED indicators display the remaining charge, while integrated safety features protect against overheating and short circuits. However, it is important to note that charging cables are not included.
Vappeby tragbarer wasserdichter Bluetooth-Lautsprecher
Music lovers can find value in the Vappeby tragbarer wasserdichter Bluetooth-Lautsprecher, priced under $20. Measuring just 3 x 3 x 2 inches and rated IP67 for water resistance, this portable speaker is an ideal choice for shower use, poolside relaxation, or outdoor adventures. While sound quality may momentarily fluctuate when immersed in water, it tends to return to normal once dry. The device can connect via Bluetooth to various devices, and users may pair two speakers for enhanced audio experience. With a single charge, it can last up to 80 hours at moderate volume. Like other gadgets, it does not come with a USB charger or USB-C cable, necessitating separate purchases for those accessories.

This clamp-style lamp easily attaches to surfaces with a thickness between ⅓ inch and ¾ inch and can be adjusted for optimal positioning.

Nordmärke Cork USB-Ladegerät
The Nordmärke Cork USB-Ladegerät provides an appealing charging option for nightstands or side tables, featuring a cork-wrapped exterior that mimics the look of a decorative coaster. Its design lends itself to potential integration within existing furniture, expanding its utility. The charger offers three USB-A ports, each supplying up to 2.4 amperes, amounting to a maximum output of 3.4 amperes. While effective for many devices, modern technology may require faster charging capabilities that this charger does not provide. Nonetheless, it is equipped with protective features to prevent overloading and overheating.
