Probably also going to get the Rovyvon Aurora for my keychain so that I'll always have a flashlight independent of what pants I'm wearing. Also taking suggestions for a compact measuring device. Even a 50cm long one would cover 95% of my needs.

Hey! Just as a general safety tip: it's not a good idea to post photos of your keys. It's easy to create duplicates off of photos. Granted, it's also hard to find they lock; but a stalker with enough motivation can achieve a lot given enough time

I’m aware, but not worried. They’d be so disappointed once they get in - everything even slightly valuable has my name engraved on it.

Bruh, this guy isn't MI5 or CIA. It would be 100x easier to sledgehammer his door if you could find him AND he was worth robbing. :)

I'm sure I've seen an xkcd for this

How often do you need to bleed heating radiators?

Edit: just saw the "handyman" in the title

I've had one of these attached to my backpack for 6 or 7 years now. I don't even remember where or when I got it, but it has survived this long and still gets the job done. Their website says it's discontinued, but I imagine any of their equivalent models would do fine.

I can only find ones in freedom units with quite hefty shipping costs but I found a Chinese knockoff for 80 cents so I'll give that a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have a vintage 3m/10ft one from Stanley that's made in England and though compact, it's still way too chunky to EDC.

I have a rovyvon aurora. Shits amazing. Highly recommend

Everything is practical, solid carry.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

People sure liking those Wurkkos. Think I have one of some sort floating around, remember being happy. But it's an older model, not a compact EDC.

Do you have a 2.5 y.o. child?

Kind of, but it's a rodent.
