What's a gadget that every home should have?

We have most things which have been mentioned on here including the multi-meter ... but if I could only choose one item out of everything ...it would have to be a Duvet (comforter)...I couldn't go back to making beds with blankets again...


Another useful thing in this house.. is ( as well as the multi-meter) is my husbands' Car engine system diagnostic tool... ...that little wonder has saved us a fortune on car repair bills over the years, by diagnosing the problem, and then we can fix it ourselves or at very least let the garage know that we know what the problem is...so no conning us into big repairs for other things.. lol

Once you diagnosed the poblem, you can usually find a fix on YouTube..

Spread a towel on the table before you start dividing up your pills for the week, the towel will help keep the pills from bouncing and rolling off of the table and onto the floor.

Sure there is. Put a screen over the end of the vacuum cleaner hose. Sometimes even a piece of cloth will do the trick.



Vacuum them up. Leave it running and then turn it off wherever you want to place them.
 
Yes, Of course. My sister gave me one made of bamboo as a joke. I use it every time I walk past it.

Those metal ones (pictured) resemble surgical instruments. I'll stick to my bamboo one; I don't want to
gouge myself.

Yes I have a bamboo one too...but the metal one is so much better because it's telescopic... although you do have to be careful not to rip your skin to shreds with the sharp teeth
 
I have one of these, but I'm not sure if the handle is long enough. My back seldom itches, but, when it does, it's always in an unreachable spot.

Well, Timetrvlr, you know when you find all those pills? The answer is a soon as your Doctor changes your RX, and you're no longer on them. You'll find them in chairs, under stuff, everywhere. You won't believe you couldn't see them all over the place. That's how it is for me.
 
I chose the .380 mainly because my wife can easily handle it. I had a .44 magnum that she was unable to handle and I am not ashamed to admit, it also gave me issues.
 
Recoil is momentum divided by the weight of the gun. That's the quick and dirty measure, but it's fine for comparison. I have several guns in .380. My North American Arms, the lightest, is a stinker. My Makarov, the heaviest, is quite pleasant. I'm surprised that that iteration of the Makarov isn't more popular.

I carry a S&W Model 638 loaded with Magsafe ammo. Bullet weight is only 52 grains so it's quite pleasant without sacrificing stopping power. The gun is so light that I hardly know that it's there.

Two kitchen utensils I use more often NOT in the kitchen, mostly because I know where to find them.

I don't know what the item on the left is. I actually have one (I think), but I have assumed that it's a cake cutter.

I keep extra pliers, rubber mallet, and hacksaw in the kitchen. I think that an awl would be another good addition.

I don't know what it is either, Big Horn. It was inherited. I've used it often to spackle holes in the plaster, when I can't find a putty knife. Works better anyway. Ha!

That doesn't look like a cake cutter to me, although its purpose might be as a cutter of some kind. I have several metal spatulas that are something like that without the angled end. Some are straight, some are offset.

I always have a couple of putty knives among my cookie decorating utensils. They come in handy for other things than spackling.
