The reverse of a question I asked on here a while ago.
I was given a small food processor and a small bullet blender a decade ago and I still use them monthly.
I have a full size brevelle food processor that gets less use.
Knipex ♥️
A Knippix Kombi-Zange. Well played! Good tools are worth every cent.
Their flush cuts are the shit. Next time I break a tool I’m going to see if there’s a knipex version.
Head-On CAN be appied directly to the forehead! Which was it’s only claim.
Plot twist: What’s an advertised claim that lived up to its product?
Fender Telecaster
Similarly, Fender Precision Bass. Hard to go wrong with a classic.
people with really wide toes:
my 260 euros hiking shoes with extra wide toebox. i had size ten. with these shoes i have size 8.5 (i had to go longer, so i got more widht to fit my toes)
no pain anymore, no more infected nail beds. best shoes i ever had. model innsbruck
Noted. My frog toes are always busting out the sides of my running shoes like british POWs from a german prison camp
There was a mobile game app that claimed that it actually is the game it is claiming to be(one of the generic mobile ad games)
It actually was the game it was claiming to be*
*every several levels of a different game, the promoted game was just a minigame
Miele washing machine. Doing my laundry since 2001 and still as good as new.
Instant pot. I mostly use it for batch cooking, making homemade stocks and rice now. But, I used to make yoghurt in it weekly and proof dough in it every 3 days or so.
It advertised a bunch of functions and it only sucks at slow cooking, but pressure cooking is faster and better imo, it does suck at slow cooking though.
I have a different brand of multicooker, and it’s excellent. The “boil” function goes down as low as 40C so I use it to sous vide things fairly often
Darn tough socks, lamy pens, Ibanez guitars, and crumpler bags have all been very solid quality products I consider well worth the value.
I have a Lamy pen and it’s wonderful. I put a more fine nib on it and it writes beautifully, despite me being a lefty. I know you can get a lefty nib for them, but can’t really justify buying one and they only come in medium width.
i had like 10 of them since childhod, goddamn loved them. loved the colors and how smooth they were.
Have an Al-Star and a Safari with two of my favorite inks close at hand nearly always. Can’t remember the last time I so much as thought about cleaning either, even the one with a shimmer in it. I just keep refilling them, and they just keep working.
Dirt cheap, given the quality, too, IMHO. They could charge twice what they do for the lower end of their products, and there would still be value there.
Second Darn Tough. Best trail running socks I’ve ever had
Mr Clean magic bathroom erasers. Holy shit. They literally melted the soap scum from my bathtub when every other tile cleaner did next to nothing. I was completely blown away.
any they work incredibly well at putting micro plastics in the environment too!
This 100%. Here’s a life pro tip: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is the trademarked brand. The generic product (which is exactly the same thing) is “melamine sponge”.
Depending on where you live, the Magic Eraser is an 4-5X more expensive than the equivalent generic on Amazon or eBay.
This was a very pro tip
Dude, foaming oven cleaner is similar. If you have a jacked up oven, get the foaming stuff and you’ll have a nearly brand new oven.
edit: oops, misread the parent post as the scrubbing bubble cleaner. going thru a colonoscopy prep, so im all funky. the foaming oven cleaner is good af tho. also, get melamine sponges. theyre the same thing as the magic sponges but much more cost efficient.
PSA to carefully read and follow all usage directions on any oven cleaner product. Some of that stuff can destroy your lungs (and more) if not used properly.
Good luck with your colonoscopy. The prep is fucking miserable, but it’s definitely worth it in the end.
(Don’t use foaming oven cleaner for that.)
Thanks! Everything went smoothly. I must’ve been funny under anesthesia because the nurses were looking at me funny when I came back to reality. I hope I didn’t embarrass myself 😬
I feel like no matter what happened, the chances are pretty low you’ll ever be the weirdest thing a bunch of professional butthole-looking specialists have ever experienced on the job.
Congrats on being done with it!
Bought a Eufy g30 robot vacuum because it advertised that it could climb over thresholds and it does! The accessories are cheap too, especially if you buy knockoffs. Bought it in 2021 and still going strong, no complaints after almost daily use in a home with a cat and a small child.
Instant Pot
I fixed my hot tub with Flex Tape. It seems to be doing the job.
I’ve repaired 2 kayaks and my tiny, flat-bottom boat. That shit is scary.
“Open heart surgery - guy’s got an artery going - FLEX TAPE”
now that’s a lotta damage
Evaporust. Incredible product and reusable so many times.
