They use something like that at the coffee shop to wash out the containers they steam the milk in. They use the same container dozens of times per hour.
Ya, but no one’s drinking out of the milk cup.

Imagine the bar tender taking a beer glass from a herpes infested homeless guy and just washing the inside? You drinking out of that glass? Lol

I‘ll stick with the steaming hot automatic dish washer please.lol

Bars put the glass in a strong disinfectant before rinsing with this thing. This just gets rid of the chemicals. Pretty useless at home in my opinion, but maybe these early adapters are on to something.

It's a bar glass bidet! Isn't technology wonderful?

I got mine and I've been pretty happy with it. Due to some health issues I drink a couple of meal replacement shakes every day. The remnants can get pretty stuck on the blender bottle if you don't get it cleaned off before it dries out. This thing has made my morning easier since I can hold it on for a few seconds and have a well rinsed out bottle instead of having to fully wash it right then.

Wow! Never knew that. My mother was a bar tender all through the 70’s, they hand washed back then. Three sinks if I remember correctly.

I've seen bartenders take a clean glass off the shelf, rinse it, then pour the beer. Removes any sustain residue and helps cut down on foam.

Does no one do dishes by hand anymore? Rinsing soap is always wasteful as you gotta 1/3 fill it, dump it, rinse and repeat (pun intended).

half got it because I've been doing meal replacement protein shakes myself.

In my youth, I worked in restaurants, everything from fast-food to "fancy" ones, and several in between, with bars. VERY familiar with the 3-sink method. The glass rinsers have been around for decades.

A lot of Craftsman V series stuff on deep discount right now. I wonder why.

CRAFTSMAN V-SERIES Socket Set, Deep SAE, 1/2 Inch Drive, 13 Piece (CMMT17395V) https://a.co/d/0hsmGlCW


CRAFTSMAN V-SERIES Combination Wrench Set, MM, 12 Piece (CMMT87325V) https://a.co/d/04lP3wc8

The 13 piece 1/2" deep socket set it's probably because it's SAE. The MM set is $66

I have no idea why it's discounted, the v-series is nice but expensive for being Craftsman. The Mechanics Tool Sets are my favorite when I'm on the go. I got the 3/8" sets in SAE & MM for $40 each on eBay.

Sanyipace Borescope Camera with Light, 4.3" IPS Endoscope, 2 Color Modes, 16.4FT Semi-Rigid Cable, IP67 Waterproof and Oilproof Borescope Inspection Camera for Automotive Engine, House Inspection


Picked this up a couple weeks ago to help with replacing the compressor clutch on the family van. (Snap ring at a terrible spot with no good visibility angle). I had low expectations given the price point ($21 at the time of this posting) and I found it useful. I think you would have to spend quite a bit more to get a tangibly more useful endoscope. Comparable alternatives seem to be at the $30+ pricepoint.

Just curious. Are you a “Vine customer who has received this product for free”? Almost every review has this statement listed.

No, I'm not lol. I too was concerned about the quality of the "reviews", but for ~ 20 bucks and Amazon's return policy I figured if it was absolute garbage I could return it. Probably my biggest complaints are the camera isn't the best, the LEDs aren't high CRI, and the camera/LED head gets pretty warm after a couple of minutes...but again it was around $20 bucks and it was better than trying to screw around with dental mirrors or spending hours trying to get things lined by "feel". :lol:

I took at shot and ordered one. I figured for $20, it could be OK. Time will tell.

I can't tell from the Amazon site (which says no app, wifi or Bluetooth "needed"), does that camera have a way to transfer data out to a computer or phone to save, upload to a website like GJ, etc?

Let's all pray Pines doesn't order one of these.

I’m a vine customer. My reviews are not flagged as such, but I really do try my best to review items thoroughly and fairly. I write my share of 2-3 star if there are issues. I did not select this product. The endoscopic camera I got plugs into my phone and works well.

Watch out for the taxes on Vine. That was a rude awakening when I filed for 2023, the tax rate was close to 40% and TurboTax was prompting me to set up a business entity. I claimed hobby income as there is no business motivation for me. I became much more selective moving forward.

No way to yank images from the device itself as far as I can tell.

Agreed.

Here is an excerpt from the top critical reviewer: "...It is a shame, however, that you can view real time images on this device, but it will not capture video or pictures, otherwise I would have posted a pic or two as an example. 3.5 stars out of 5..."

how much do you make from it if you don't mind me asking.? I'm out here reviewing chicom stuff for free like it's my job already, might as well make it count

I am part of something similar. They pay for the item, I get to keep it (minus a bit, like $1 per item for fees). But they PayPal me the money, and I use my Amazon Visa to buy, so 5-6% back usually covers the difference. Fairly large list of items, very few tools though (did get some spacers/pull block for flooring, and a biscuit jointer a while back).

So no income to report? Where do I sign up?

Theoretically, there is income from PayPal funds coming in. I don't think there was enough to generate a 1099 last year, or if so, was negligible on taxes.
