That would be Radio Control boats. Also good for holding light doors open, 
throwing at your neighbor when he's drunk, and disassembling for stepper 
motors and opto-electronics for robots.

Not good for booting XT's, that's what steel toe boots are for.

Y'know.  I tried that... using it as an anchor for my R/C Battleship....
each time I'd startit up across the local body of water,  it would go a
few feet,  stop and shudder and my contol panel screen would say, 
"drive not ready....".  

Not even good for that!
