I don't normally post my new tools, but... I wanted a water shut-off valve and I wanted one that was at least 30 in long so I popped onto Amazon and I bought one

It's okay, it's not fabulous, I don't normally need one but the problem is it seems like when you need it you really need it... So this one everything fits together very tightly so tightly. In fact that out of the box it won't go together. The problem is that you have a square sheet metal fitting on each end and it turns out that there's a slight lip on the inside that propounds it from going together. If you spend 30 seconds on each end that slips over the top, it slides together perfectly. So, although I actually like this understand you're going to need a metal file and it's going to have to be a smaller than normal metal file so that it will fit inside the metal pipe so you can remove the Burr so it will slide together. So some work required and a smallish metal file. I have lots of metal files so that wasn't a problem for me. Sadly they all previously belonged to dead relatives. Well. Most of those files do anyway.
I have a lot of things that I need to charge using USB. I like being able to see how much current is being used to charge those particular devices because it provides me some useful information for some devices.
Own theee of these and they have performed well. The nice thing about this one in particular is that most of the ports are USB a and it has one USB C charge port. Most of my devices I can charge using usba but every now and then I get one that requires a c. So it's nice to have that. I also know that I have given these in particular to relatives as gifts including my parents and they have been in use for a long time. Very reliable.

For charging my phone every night, I decided maybe it would be less wear and tear on the charge port if I used a wireless charger and I found this one works fine. The three different Android phones that I have tried. And this is less than $15

Before I had one with a digital output and maybe you don't want it because it produces an awful lot of light which can be annoying at night if you have one in your bedroom... This 10-port charger has been in continuous use for a very long time and has really held up to a lot of abuse. I no longer own it because while visiting my mother-in-law it turns out she had a cell phone and no charger of any sort. Who sells a phone without something to charge it? And I guess the answer is everyone now. I own so many chargers. I never gave it a thought. So I left it with her since my daughter had brought it and I bought her one of the ones with a digital display.... Not that my daughter really needed that but she liked that I could get different colors and I got her one that was pink.
This one is much smaller and it comes in pretty colors which my daughters like. But this is great for travel. If you don't want the big bulky thing, it'll charge a couple things at once has no digital display. It has USB a and USBC for charging and I have owned a couple. Although I seem to keep giving them out to relatives. Who say oh no, I don't have any way to charge this
Enough of that, we probably care more about the snap-on stuff I received, but I'll probably post about that later
Pretty confident that my granddaughter doesn't have the strength to ruin any actual functional ratchet. Lol.
