I got hung on those blankets with arms.
Ordered several. Junky fabric. We were too long for them. You may not know it but I have freakishly long arms. It was basically elbow length in the sleeve.
When washed and dried they stuck together and got mishaped.
Ended up being doggy blankets and then outdoor rags for muddy dog paws.
Kinda pricey (appx $20 a pop) for that use.
Pocket hose, the expanding one. Inner hose blew out within a year.
I bought a Flowbee at least 20 years ago, and I’ve used it every 4-5 weeks since then. I love it and it’s saved me a ton of money over the years. I think I paid about $30-35(US) for it, but brand new ones run close to $200.
I have a Garden Claw bought more than 20 years ago, still use it occasionally.
As seen on TV has turned me off ever since I saved my 50 cents and two box tops for a turbo beam car. It was about four inches long and took about 30 minutes to total it.
I’ve bought that twice. The secret to keeping it alive is to store it out of direct sunlight.
There was also a superglue-like adhesive that was activated by shining a UV light at it. Not as effective as it appeared on the teevee.
One of those interior car windshield cleaning wands that had a microfiber pad over the head. You lightly spritz the glass with distilled water and the slim profile and enables you reach the narrow clearance areas of steeply raked windshields that are normally a real PIA to reach with a paper towel and windex. Did ( and still does ) a very good job removing that annoying fog/scum that forms on car window interiors. ( mostly from the vinyl/plastics releasing gas )
I want some Bullshot cleaner. Nowadays they always say available everywhere. Not so much.
But I found it on Amazon. Stuff is $29 a can. It can’t be that good that I’d pay that much.
I did buy Pooph™ odor eliminator. It did work ok. But cost way too much.
The bigger brother to those hoses, the Teknor Apex Zero-G series are fantastic. They aren’t the expanding/contracting ones, but they’re a similar sort of inner hose covered by a nylon external sheath. They’ve got good fittings and are very lightweight. Highly recommend.
We got some kind of non-stick pan that worked absolutely fantastic for a few months, and then everything stuck like crazy. Made me wonder what wore off/evaporated/ended up in our food that made it so non-stick for a short period of time.
I’m gonna hazard a guess. You cooked something tomato or acid forward.
That’s hell on seasoned cast iron as well.
I don’t really recall, but that should be fine for a non-stick pan. It’s certainly been fine for the other ones we’ve had over the years.
Yeah..if all things are equal, it should be. But, in my experience it’s not.
We only use enamel or ceramic coated pans for tomatoes.
YMMV, of course.
We had a couple of those “wonder hoses” that expand. They do all that, but they do not last long, and they start to leak pretty quickly.
My understanding is that all nonstick pans lose their nonstick ability over time, some quicker than others. You can also speed up their demise by using too high of a temperature, and of course, using any metal utensils.
True, but this was extremely short and abrupt. It was very strange.
Rain-X. It really does what they claim. I swear by it.
Those expanding hoses are junk.
I agree on Rain-X, but only mostly on the hoses, since they did coil up nicely. Except that their half life was a month or so.
I will never give up my My Pillow.
That guy seemed creepy even before he made his politics known.
Regardless, best pillow ever!
