I bought a cheap plumbers torch a little over two years ago and it's been the most useful thing I've purchased. Lights my wood stove quickly and without hassle, lights my offset smoker, lights my firepit and any other fires quickly and effortlessly.

  • boox note3. it's extremely basic, and i mostly use it to hold recipes, but it makes a great e-reader as well!
  • wireless earbuds. make working out so much less boring!
  • shoe stretchers and shoe stretcher spray. saved me from having to return 2 pairs of expensive boots.

I got it as a present rather than buying it myself but my tire pressure / tread depth measuring tool gets near constant use so it’s super easy to check on my car’s tires when I need to
