Sorting through a recent consignment of Lego I bought on Ebay, I found a
part I didn't know existed.

http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/44

(I think I'll try Peeron first now after Jennifer brought it to my attention)

The 'Technic Connector Toggle Joint Smooth' looks just lke a regular toggle
joint but without the teeth. Its the sort of part that would prove
invaluable one day. I like the way it lets you keep two axle's in line but
set them at any angle.

Perhap's my knowledge is lacking because I don't buy many Technic sets from
new. Perhaps we should have 'part of the week' We could get our new curator
to do it :-). I'll bet many people know of it's existence but there could be
just as many who don't? I'm now wondering if their are any more obscure
parts that would benefit from a wider audiance?

There is a full inventory at www.peeron.com: (URL) interesting is the "Technic Axle Joiner Perpendicular Double Split" and the "Boat 2 x 2 Stud" which I've never seen elsewhere, is not needed in the set and is a part I've been looking for for (...)
