I think I can make use of it as a side-table to put my drink on

I have absolutely no idea what that is, but I want it.

Are you kidding? That's the stuff of nightmares! Dentists are not right in the head.

Ohhh... ok, now you have given me a point of reference I can see that it looks kind of dental. Thanks.

I still want it.

Maybe a bit too hipster....

Just bought/funded two KAISR Originals via Indiegogo:



Details HERE. Looks like it should be good for holidays, packs up small but tough and waterproof.

Brilliant. I've also ordered 2!

Has everyone who funded/bought these had their survey for colour choice?

I had mine last night, went for grey and orange. Should be great for the summer!

Blue and orange! The copies of the LamZac are coming thick and fast now, see a new company about once a week it seems!

Is that fishing line just a more complex version of tying a piece of string to a door

It looks like a steampunk trouser press for white Jean wearers.

"HOW DARE YOU."

Actually that might be a good way to describe it when I eventually decide it's in the way and I try to sell it again, until then it will be an occasional table in the room that was formerly a Dentist's surgery

Thanks - that looks good, but doesn't seem as insulated as the Roccbox, plus it doesn't have the adaptability of gas or wood burners included, so I am thinking the Roccbox is still the way forward..

I can't seem to find any concrete information on a release date or delivery times for the Roccbox. I'm tempted by one but don't want to wait several months for delivery

I was on the preorder list for one of these. Placed my order on release day and was told sometime in June for delivery. Haven't checked the website or Facebook page for a while but might be more info on there. It looks like they took quite a few preorders so if you ordered now I think you would have to wait a bit longer.

They are quoting July '16 for orders now - hope it isn't too much after that or will miss all the summer!

Ah sod that then!

damn this thread, why do i now keep thinking to myself 'i need a leatherman wave in black'..............

Cheers all, might take a punt on the wingman and see how it goes

https://www.leatherman.com/wingman-11.html

If it gets a lot use I can upgrade in the future and leave that one in the car

Wingman or Sidekick are great initial purchases - I got mine for Christmas and love it.

Now just waiting on a colleague coming over from the States for a massive discount on a Charge Ti

Yep, I got one for £26 off ebay that arrived last week. Useful in the garden this pleasant weekend as a trial run, the intention being to take them to festivals etc as easier than carting foldable chairs about.

I can promise that you will be able to date photos/video of summer 2016 by the number of people seen waving these things through the air in the vain attempt to inflate them. It certainly isn't as easy as made to look on the demonstration videos!

Gerber do some good stuff.

I have this one, which I got in an Amazon Lightning Deal about 2 years ago. I've been very happy with it.




https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001R93IQQ

Agreed - Gerber make good stuff - my everyday carry is a Leatherman Juice

But in work I use a Gerber Suspension which I bought while out New York a couple of months ago (Walmart is great ......) Bought another 3 of them at same time - 1 in the glove box of my car, 1 in the other car, and one in the desk drawer @ home ......

I think I might need help .....

I just received a DVD and a nice red Swingline stapler

I liked the movie and needed a new stapler, what better reason

(£13 for both plus deliver from Amazon)

Just about to take the plunge with this to add to existing gas BBQ and Chimnea with grill......(I like cooking outdoors...)

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/roccbox-the-por...

Anyone know of any better alternatives?

The Uuni2 is cheaper but doesn't look as sturdy. I'm tempted as I love both Neapolitan pizzas and outdoor cooking but I rarely use my charcoal Weber bbq as it is. Hmmm

Thanks - that looks good, but doesn't seem as insulated as the Roccbox, plus it doesn't have the adaptability of gas or wood burners included, so I am thinking the Roccbox is still the way forward..

I bought the Uuni2 a few weeks ago and have made 15 or so pizzas so far. Works really well, gets really hot - challenge vs a big oven is that you do have to turn the pizza several times as the heat is obviously higher near the firebox. My pizza loving wife gave them high marks, once I stopped burning them

Probably being in Friends for many years before the film was made did a bit more for her career.

To the OP were you buying a stapler in homage to Milton Waddams? BTW good choice on the Swingline it binds up less than the Boston.

I've got one of those that I keep in the glovebox. And when I say 'keep in the glovebox', I mean it - I don't think I've ever used it
Now thinking of getting another to put in a draw in the house.

Yes, it seemed an appropriately nerdy thing to do

Tell us more about this. My great, great grandfather was a designer of dentistry equipment (more specifically, he invented the dentist's chair). I wonder if that is one of his.

I have a USB one - not as useful as one initially expects.
