It was delivered about a week ago, used it until today then I've relegated it to the tat drawer, can't get on with it with my car keys! Might try and use it for the house spare key, wasted on my mother when she comes to stay though!

...and she doesn't need a bottle opener!
Put the hoop for oversize keys on to it, put car keys on that, works fine.

Was looking for some info on hand saws and stumbled upon a thread about torches that was riveting. Ended up buying a Lenser P7.2 and H7.2 and a Fenix e05 and have still not quelled the buying beast biggrin

I didn't need one torch, let alone three.
I'll just leave this here...

I purchased one of these shortly before Xmas, used it a few times and now have it stood up as a decorative piece collecting dust.



I have one also, its superb. Why are you not using it?

I didn't realise how difficult it would be to motivate myself when I em exercising in my own home. I live in a small flat and it is in my lounge which makes it all too comfortable.

When I am in the gym, I put my headphones in, turn the screen away and just row until I don't want to go any more. At home, I watch Sky News or football and watch the minutes tick away - like Chinese water torture. Monotonous.

Dam you man, just ordered one myself! £28 for a key ring, happy new year!

I've got one of these, posted a few pages back. It's great, cuts down on key bulk significantly.

Ok so I have not purchased it, yet. But look a sequential gearbox, 6 speed and type 9 fitment.

By leaving it here I'm hoping some kind sole will purchase it, and save me a lot of cash.

I use one with work regularly and they are fantastic. Eats batterys though.

We now get provided with one when we join. At that price it's worth every penny (even at full price it's work it in my opinion!).

If that worked with 18650 batteries then I would buy it straight away, but not standard AA batteries.

(have 2x 18650 batteries and charger that I don't use anymore)

There are 2 new Head Gasket Bobbles out. I have 2 already, they are brilliant and perfect for walking the dog. Don't know if I should get another as spare in case they stop producing them...

Been eyeing the pink one for a while but I don't wear hats so I'm still trying to justify it. Last time the stickers were in stock I was on it like a tramp on chips though. biggrin
