Workpro multitool often dips below $20.
The Cool Tools review on it is pretty good.
Fuck Amazon. Buy local. Cancel your prime membership.
It’s a bit more than 20 bucks but you can buy a ring of keys to pretty much any piece of heavy equipment you could possibly want.
You never know when say… Let’s pick a random one … A Komatsu D355A could come in handy.
Rechargable hand warmers, pack of two, 10000mah
Oh my God yes, I bought one of these about 10 years ago it’s still going strong and whenever I get a little cold I just turn it on and it’s so nice.
Another thing that I found is amazing is putting them in your shoes are slippers for about 5-10 minutes before you use them, because it means when you put your shoes on they’re not super cold so it feels like you’re putting them in hot water instead of cold slippers
Nothing, amazon is a leech. Don’t use amazon.
Agreed. Fuck amazon.
A slicer to slice eggs, strawberries etc into small slices.
Place in hole, close top with metal wires over it, and voila, sliced whatever!
Works great on olives as well.
Oh, you mean the mozzarella slicer. Never knew it could be used for eggs or strawberries.
(I use it exclusively for slicing mozzarella for pizza and toast).
One of these meant for eggs and small fruit
Cheap bluetooth obd2 scanner. But yeah, I’ve been trying to keep my Amazon spending to a minimum. I’ll try to buy from anywhere else first
These can be had from AliExpress for less. Amazon is a middleman and the markup can be significant
I had a VeePeak one for a while. It was excellent. Everyone should have one, honestly.
Titanium keychain toothpick
Would you mind sharing the link ? I love titanium stuff
Looks like it’s not on Amazon anymore. But there’s lots of similar.
This is the exact one I’ve been using for almost a decade.
Not Amazon but MercadoLivre, I bought a water bottle that keeps water cold for a very long time (my old one stopped working somehow and the handle was broken). A bit over R$100 which is just under $20.
You can’t tell us about a great water bottle that keeps it’s cool without telling us which one you recommend!
There’s like a hundred brands that all do basically the same thing. Just look for stainless steel with double wall vacuum insulation. I’ve got half a dozen cheapo free ones from various jobs and they all perform well.
Apple dongle for 3.5mm headphones
The earbuds that connect to apple’s charging port are under $20 too.
I mean you can connect almost any IEMs or headphones to it. It’s got a really good DAC all things considering.
A really fucking long ethernet cable.
Use monoprice cheaper and better…
Ultrasonic cleaner! Really awesome for glasses, jewelry, all kinds of small stuff. I fill it with isopropanol solution and clean my phone case in it.
I’d be interested in getting a link for this product if you don’t mind!
Mine doesn’t seem to exist anymore sorry.
I try to use Amazon less and less these days, but there are still some things worth getting for cheap.
A whole category for me is small kitchen items. Mixing bowls, bench scraper, oil bottles, squeeze bottles, etc. You can get good brands too, you just have to look a little harder these days.
If you’re in the US, check out webstaurantstore for those items. Way better pricing than Amazon, so you can have a whole stack of every size mixing bowl, sheet pans, glassware, etc, for what you’d pay on Amazon for one.
We don’t have Amazon.
Basically every usb cable i have bought. If you try it locally, there are like two bigger chains in every city who sell those at ridiculous costs. To get them at a reasonable price you’d have to drive to a specialised vendor available only in the biggest cities (conrad, elv) or at very remote places (e.g. pollin).
Fully agree, I refuse to get my USBC cables from any local store, Walmart used to be the best area around that you could find them for online, but since then Amazon has definitely taken over
I’ve bought these a few times and they’ve never disappointed. They seem really sturdy and they do my fast charging and data transfer with no issue. ~14USD for two 3ft, two 6ft and a 10ft is a good deal imo
Oh, not to forget about filament for the 3d printer. My favourite brands (sunlu, esun) are only available though amazon.
