Every once in a while I see some ad/post on social media for something that looks well built, usefull and has a decent amount of cool factor. It's often some sort of tool, but often bike/car/motorcycle stuff too. Thought maybe a thread for it all where we can share wantable stuff? I'm sure the Knipex pliers could fit in here, and saw this a couple minutes ago. I already have more screwdrivers than I need, but still want this thing.

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

200USD for a pepper grinder is excessive.  But I want one.

I dont think the Lezyne one ratchets? In my experience, the torque tube mini screwdrivers are next to useless. I tried the Silica one, and it was impossible to tell if you were at 2 or 10nm of torque as the gradations are so close.

Unless that's a Japanese built tool idk about it.  I'm sure Wera has something close/similar. 

Abbey Tools Micro Modular and Modular Bearing Press w/handles.  Also if I was starting out from zero for bike tools I'd be after the Abbey Tools Team Issue Tool Box.  I may build up my own modular tool box in the future.  

Honestly a quality bread knife is a game changer in the kitchen. And bonus they're pretty darn affordable too. I went with the Torijo knife

Yeah, same thing I thought. It's Chinese top to bottom. Not exactly renowned for engineering.

My Dad was all in on random Chinese stuff it was hilarious. I helped him attempt to install a windshield he bought for pennies on the dollar, it was out of tolerance by a mile.

I'd spend my money on the taco funnel.
