Now you have to take it apart and put the light on the proper orientation... PSA... Don't drop it.

Got my sights on this. Very good light, £52 (English pounds) Trusty Snap on will not die though.

sure, but what the other one looks like may be different.

For those who don’t know, corn cob holders are one of the easiest and quickest ways to pierce potatoes before baking. (To prevent the potato from exploding for those who don’t bake).
You can put a dozen holes in a potato way easier than using an average fork.

I'll take your word for it that it's easier. But for me it'll take much longer to do so. I'd have to find the corn cob holders first. Forks are everywhere.

Other day I made a corn on the cob and I looked for the holders, couldn't find them fast enough so I used a fork to hold it so I could cut the corn off the cob (after cooking and while hot) for my elderly mother who'd have trouble eating it on the cob. I know she has an actual tool that's specifically made to cut the corn off the cob somewhere, as I've used it for her in the past. Again, I couldn't find it fast enough so I used a knife. Of course she "knows" where it is. Yeah, corn will be cold and dry by the time it's found in those kitchen drawers. She collected a lot of kitchen tools over the years.

looks like this one.

^ I just spear the cob with a fork and slice the kernels off with a serrated knife.

Yeah, I did the same. I didn't buy that tool, she did at some point. I've used that specialty one a few times, and really the knife and fork are easier for me to use.

So, what , now ******** has another meaning? We'll need a database soon of all the terms to keep them straight.

Went to my dealer’s warehouse on Saturday. Found a couple old 100th anniversary tool sets (wrench set SAE annd pliers set in the tin) and got a whole bunch of free ****. Two big cardboard boxes are seats for bleachers and the smaller cardboard box is an S logo.

******** is why you don't drop the soap in the prison shower.

I have some heavy soldering coming up rebuilding an alternator. I just wish Weller would pull their heads out and make the switch work like it should--low/high instead of high/low. It's hard to keep the trigger pulled only halfway when I want full heat.

Speaking of stupid tool advertising, what the hell is that guy doing to that poor motor?

That looks functional.
Also, practical, since i don’t really like dealing with corn still on the cob.
Corn cob holders are fairly small though, and I keep one in a top drawer as a general piercing implement for things like potatoes.
That corn cob stripper is the kind of thing I would have buried and not be able to find.

 

[Meursault74]

Sure, we've all heard the stories. Techincally picking up the soap is the problem.

It has come to my attention that there is PPE (personal protective equipment) that allows you to perform that task safely.

 

[Chefjpd]

Is there a tool to prevent soap accidents?

I hate to be the one to tell you, but someone has to be. You're wrong. Farm-fresh corn on the cob is one of the great gustatory experiences of life!

Or you can jam an aluminum rod in there, conducts heat, too!

Are those going to work if I want to do the Jason-Statham-hanging-upside-down-underneath-the-glass-bottom-swimming-pool-55-stories-above-street-level trick?

I'm ready to take out a loan here if the answer is what I want to hear.

How strong are your arms? How long can you hold a full pull-up?

If I already didn't have far too many screwdrivers I would have a set of those on their way to me, so tempting.........

I was in the same boat… and finally decided to buy them.

No regrets.

That's exactly what I thought, was wondering if it is ligament.
