- The M76 Otter is an amphibious cargo vehicle developed in the late 1940s by the US Marine Corps as a replacement for the M29 Weasel.
- In April 1945, the Army began developing a tracked amphibious cargo transport vehicle, and in October 1947, the prototype of the T46 amphibious cargo transport vehicle was produced.
- The T46 had a boat-shaped lower body with an enclosed upper body mounted on a suspension system with pneumatic tires suspended by torsion bars and a retractable screw.
- The upgraded T46 prototype was given the new designation T46E1, and after passing tests that began in November 1949, production began in January 1951.
- The USMC Ordnance Department, which was interested in the T46E1, requested further road testing of the vehicle. After tests on dry lakes, sand dunes, and muddy terrain were conducted, the vehicle was given the official designation M76 Amphibious Cargo Transporter and the nickname Otter in March 1953.
- The M76 was originally developed as a vehicle for use in amphibious operations, but after the war, large-scale amphibious battles almost ceased, so its use was limited to soft terrain and areas with deep snow. However, during the Vietnam War, the low ground pressure provided by the wide tracks allowed it to be used for transporting vehicles to bases in swampy areas and for patrol missions.

Man Tray!
Color: *Black, Color: *Black
Love it my girlfriend had a “purse bowl” and i always left my stuff laying around so I wanted something to hold my daily essentials all in one spot, So i chose the most minimalistic and simple tray for myself and i gotta say, it’s really nice, it imitates the leather feels and simple luxury look. I highly recommend this for men if you need an area to leave your items. Size is great imo.

Great valet tray!
Color: Brown
I needed something to help me keep my personal items organized, and saw this valet tray. I like how it looked and bought one. Then a bought a couple for my kids for Christmas presents, then a few more for around the house. We all like them because it feels good to be somewhat organized. I would definitely recommend them.

Total Game Changer for Your Desk Space!
Color: Black, Color: Black
I decided to finally foray into the desk mat space, and my only regret is not doing this sooner. This particular mat is not only an instant upgrade, visually, for my desk, but also gives me a convenient place to tuck away those couple papers/cards I always need to have within reach.
It goes without saying, my favorite part of this is the high quality wireless charging piece. Aside from eliminating an extra cord, it helps minimize the clutter and lets me charge my phone AND AirPods simultaneously.
This is the first of many I will be purchasing, as it is the PERFECT gift for anyone with a desk.

Honestly, this is pretty nice!
Color: Black, Color: Black
At first I was a little disappointed in the design of this device because the mat and the charger are two separate pieces; but the magnet that is connecting them together is pretty strong, so I ended up not minding it. The magnet in the charger is pretty strong too, though, so the whole thing tends to lift up when you pick up your phone - this is my first MagSafe charger, so perhaps that is standard with these, I wouldn't know.
As you can see in the picture, this isn't your standard mouse pad. It's leather on one side and felt on the other (you can pick which side you want to face up, which is a nice design feature, I suppose). It's smooth and wipes off easily but really collects fingerprints and hairs.
It's also a good size. Not too big, not too small. I was a little worried because it's smaller than my older mousepad but I haven't suffered for it. I may even prefer this smaller size if I'm being honest.
I'm not sure if I like the feeling of the leather side against my arm/wrist, though. The mouse has no problem reading it but it's just not very soft. I do notoriously dislike change though so maybe that's just a me problem LOL.
All in all I'm happy with this and would suggest it!
