MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
As per the thread title, I've ran out of ideas on how to spend a £25 Amazon voucher.
I'm tempted to get a bottle of malt but I'm trying to limit my booze intake.
What would you get?
Wera Hex keys or some other bike tool I don't have or want a better one of.
Or a t-shirt, some socks, a new watch strap, some razors, a butt plug, tubeless fluid, 5l hand wash, biscuits, coffee, they sell literally everything...I now get your confusion!
Thanks, I bought the Bondhus(?) gorilla hex keys years ago after a recommendation on here - they'll outlast me
Wonder Wipes
You didn't realise you need these but you do. They clean anything, to the point that you walk around finding things to clean. I recently did our whole oven. Oil splatter on your chain stay - gone. They are unreal
If they are that effective what is any residue doing to the food you later cooked?
Into to the Watches N+1 thread and have look about...

Well I'm still alive.
They are not toxic, I've been using them for months without using gloves and hardly any of my skin has fallen off.
A Victorinox knife, in the Alox range? I’d go with either Cadet or Farmer depending on how useful the saw
Or get the little keyring-size SD Classic with the standard scales, and a Victorinox Dual sharpener to go with it?
That’s what I bought with birthday money this year from folks. Actually I got the Alox Classic and the dual sharpener. About £30 for both. Depends if you want Alox scales or tweezers & toothpick.
I like the Alox version. Quality. It’s like a tiny jewel and have found it to be useful nearly every day for something or other (not just stray hairs and nail-shortening!). Yesterday I spent a couple of hours cleaning and reproofing walkign boots. Difficult to get all of last year’s rock hard clay from the boots and the file/screwdriver sorted out the lace-rings,soles, nooks, crannies etc where a brush failed. Also used the file to smooth a sharp edge/burr in a lace-ring where laces were fraying/breaking. Wouldn’t be without it now.
Lunge’s garlic press reminds me. Last year asked about xmas present garlic press and the STW crowd recommended a big pestle and mortar. Good idea, so bought a granite set for £25 and they have been amazing. Garlic? SMASH! GRIND! Done. Seeds? CRUNCH. Done. Nuts for porridge? CRUSH! Guacamole? SMOOSH! Ace. It sorts stuff in moments. When finished just rinse with water. Better than dicking around with presses and granite is I suppose about as long-lasting as any kitchen-tool can be!
Something like this one
Two and a half thousand blackjacks.
No. Fruit Salads.

and the change in Mojos
Great shout. “Model city Pyongyang” is another interesting book within budget.
pasta machine? Duct tape wallet?
Just went to check if it was that or something similar I picked up, I was struggling to decide. Anyway it's the bus stops, but I still haven't removed the cellophane!!!
T25/4/5/6 Wera bits...
Assuming you have a torque wrench / drill with clutch
A mini rachet (Bosch one for example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-2607017160-Screwdriving-Ratchet-Pieces/dp/B0071IK9CI/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2F61LUDPQESGL&dchild=1&keywords=ratchet+mini+set&qid=1600797766&sprefix=ratchet+mini%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-5)
I have a similar mini ratchet and replaced a few bits (e.g. fits 10mm fits pedal pre tension bolt)
Even smaller ratchet thumb driver... (for those bottle cage mounts/frame mounts)
Oh and waterproof socks ? (Can't have too many pairs)
Some good suggestions so far... please keep them coming

‘fly-fishing’ by j r Hartley
Last time we got a voucher at work, we bought remote control helicopters. They're all stuck in the Warehouse rafters now... Was a good afternoon though 🙂
I just found a £40 one, used it to buy most of an action camera. Haven't had one since the gopro 3
My first instinct would be to try and buy a 25 amazon voucher with a £25 amazon voucher.
These are so good I bought two:
Currently pondering a 12v shower and tent for the van.
This is too much to take. I’d be keeping it and then forwarding to somebody else as a gift. Pass the pressure!

A line of coke, and a grope of your balls from a cheap local hooker..
The rest to go on fruit salads..
