I spent less than $100 on this item, and it changed my life (ok, but it's really awesome)...

Best pliers ever.  The way they adjust is the game changer. The jaws stay a perfect parallel through the adjustment.

Compression socks. I had accepted the fact that I was going to need ankle surgery sometime next year. For what ever reason my left(and sometimes right ankle) just seemed to have a catch in them. Kind of like how you sometimes need to crack your knuckles or neck. I tried different work shoes and insoles but nothing helped. Wife bought me a package these socks and actually worked. I even wear them with regular clothes and shorts, now.

You don’t wash the outside of your glasses?!?!?!?!

This question needs to be answered. I continue to be haunted by the grossness of potentially not washing the outside of the glass. What’s the answer?

Stainless steel "soap" bar.

I thought this was just a gimmick, but I received one as a gift from someone who knows how much I make gumbo, chili, Tex-Mex, and other food that involves cutting and chopping onions and garlic.  The darn thing works like a champ in removing the onion/garlic/ other smells from your hands.

What if I told you using the stainless steel tableware you already have delivers the same result? I grab a soup spoon usually.

Didn’t know the thought of a dirty outside would be that concerning to people. 
 

Glasses get a complete hot water and soap wash and then get put up. Glass washer can knock out any dust that may have settled between washes. It also cleans a glass when I’m switching booze. I’ll wash a Glencairn glass when I change bourbons during a night, will also use it to wash out the shot glass as I go between booze for me and the wife. 
 

Have you guys not been to a brewery and seen them wash your glasses before filling?

This is the correct answer, although I stepped up my game. This is what the pros use:

Bear Claw Extendable Back Scratcher

Turns out my dog is digging the shit out of The Grizzly" as well. It hits that hard to reach area of the backbone just above the tail. He does that thing where he sticks his nose up when I hit the right spot.

Not sayin', just sayin'.

We had an indoor cat about 30 years ago, and I gave her a false pregnancy by scratching her too much at the base of the tail. True story that I’m not proud to admit until now.

Going above $100 here for sure, but laser hair removal is the way to go. 10-12 sessions, and then never again. Smooooooooth sailing for the wife and me.

stainless steel collar stays. 

I get my shirts from Charles Tyrwhitt which come with brass collar stays. They also have a lot of combinations of collar sizes and sleeve lengths which works for me since I have a fat neck and short arms.

4 piece glass bowl set, with lids. $16 at costco. i use them all the time for about anything in the kitchen. very handy, love the lids 

I have a drawer full of IKEA 365+ glass containers. The square and rectangular versions come in tall and short versions, and they share the same lids.

The lids have a tall rim so the containers stack well and won't slide around.  They also sell extra lids in case the lids fail before the glass containers do.  IMO, it's the best thing they sell at IKEA now.

Stainless steel anything works. No need to buy anything special.

How are those superior to a bag chair? 

They are much more comfortable because there is a better frame. Bag chairs basically force you into one sitting position and don’t offer good support, whereas these allow you to shift around more. Plus there’s the shelf for your beer and your sunflower seeds and your phone.

You can even use the inside of your sink if it’s stainless.

You can get them at Academy (and probably elsewhere) with a cooler on the other side of the table.

Ikea's furniture is generally shit but they've got some pretty great kitchen items.

Ikea's furniture is generally shit but they've got some pretty great kitchen items.

If you’re furnishing a dorm room or college apartment, IKEA is THE place to go.

Mattress pads and bedding, simple desks and chairs, basic beds and dressers. Can outfit a full bedroom for under $1000 (if you need a decent mattress, that can bump up the price). We dropped under $1k at an IKEA in both Montreal and Glasgow, and it was so easy (helps that they’re the same everywhere).

Wouldn’t furnish MY grown-ass man house with IKEA, but if you’re young, it’s hard to beat.

Are you fucking serious?  I can pick, peal, and dice an onion in about 15 seconds.  Why double the time getting and putting on gloves?

Should I wear onion goggles too?  Fucking A.

About 20 years ago I bought a Black and Decker 14.4v cordless drill from Walmart.

Two batteries.

64 dollareenies.

Lasted me a few years.

 

Have the same one, but actually just “upgraded”.  Old B&D drill is still working fine, but was moved to light-work lakehouse duty for his remaining days.
