New elements for my toaster.
The instructions say you need a 6.5mm spanner. I'm gonna assume you actually need a 1/4 inch.

I’ve got a set of those, they are great, used them to light the entire garden when we were out of lockdown and had a BBQ.

I've been using mine loads. I've been so busy lately I rarely get much time to do anything other than the need for light for all sorts of projects. I've been looking to do some more painting at home and find that I can't see where I've just painted or the cutting in lines, without the use of strong white light from these.

Check the stands for recalls, there's been some alarming failures. The movable bit being made of cheap cast iron and prone to snapping.

Bought 5 mile old Rukka gloves for my size mitts on ebay at 1/4 of original price. Here is hoping I can get many thousands of miles of riding using them.
Rukka Ceres in size 14. Happy me.

Bluetooth enabled battery for my circular saw.
I already have one with and a couple that don't have bluetooth but they're knocking on four or more years old and I suspect don't hold as much charge.
Anyway 5.2 Ah battery with Bluetooth so the battery can trigger my dust extractor for 79 quid.

They're usually about a hundred.

I was going to question ‘why Bluetooth?’ until you eloquently explained it so thanks.

Yeah, my other guiderail saw is 110 volt and plugs into a power socket on my dust extractor.
Starting the saw knocks the extractor on.
But my battery powered one wouldn't start it so the bluetooth battery (combined with the bluetooth module I bought for the extractor) starts it.
Now obviously having a cord powering my extractor and a pipe to my saw kind of makes a mockery of the whole cordless saw thing but there's not much in the way of cordless extractors about just yet.
Plus if I'm working somewhere outside I just have a dust bag on the saw instead of it being piped upto an extractor.

Given the mess I made trimming down some skirting from 6” to 5” the other day, I should have hooked up my guide rail saw to the mighty Titan vacuum I’ve got, but hindsight is a wonderful thing...

Why is the oven so cold?
Turned your pie on its side
Is the timer that flawed
And our red sauce run so dry?
Well there's still this peeler
That we've kept through our lives
And Gloves
Oven gloves
will tear us apart.
