I needed some 12V fans for tractors (like those you'd find in a school bus) and the Dorman ones ended up being $20 off for prime day, so I ordered 2.
I bought the Technavorm Moccamaster as well. Been wanting one for a while I guess I can justify it as a kitchen culinary Tool. Have been waiting for a decent sale and $198 was good enough for me as retail in usually around $360 in that color (juniper).
$123.16 is an outstanding price! I bought the set for $109.23 in Dec 2018.KNIPEX Tools 00 20 06 US2, Pliers Wrench 3-Piece Set

$125.** at time of posting, only been lower twice I think, been around $180 or more lately.
I have a zojirushi that I love. It gets water hot, quickly and the carafe is excellent.

The only time brewing a pot of coffee makes sense for us if there is a large gathering, like a dinner or party. Otherwise, a simple, fast, no mess K cup is preferred. May not be gourmet level coffee, but you have essentially no prep other than pouring the water from the filter jug, inserting a pod, and pushing a button. No stale coffee to dump or pot to clean up.
Got the tape, thanks Digital4n6!
Yeah, I know—this isn’t exactly shop-related. But screw it… I like coffee. Especially after a gut-busting lunch when the to-do list is still snarling at me from across the bench.
Now, I’m not one of those monk-like pour-over cultists. I don’t have the patience—or the time—for French presses, hand grinders, ritualistic water dances, or scrubbing ten different pieces of glass and mesh after every cup. I want coffee. Fast. Strong. No drama.
So for me, it’s drip. And after years of chasing the perfect machine, I finally landed on this one:
This thing works. It makes legitimately fantastic coffee… for a drip rig… and more importantly, when something breaks (and eventually, it will), the parts are easy to get and easy to swap. No landfill. No “just buy a new one” nonsense. Real buy-it-for-life territory here.
Highly recommend.
But, of course, they are expensive as hell… Prime day makes it as cheap as I’ve ever seen though. $240. Worth every single penny.
I guess I know who got the last red one

I'd order more, but I just found a stash of them the other night I forgot I had. Don't think I need more than 6 rolls in the shop.
This is the longest lasting drip coffee machine I've ever owned.
I bought a display model from Kohl's around 2009-2010 for about $40 when my Mr Coffee died. It worked flawlessly till it began to leak around 2016. I found a video on how to fix it with a $3.57 Pfister A0080359/Danco 80359 washer (now $4.75). Also available at Ace for $3.99. I purchased another on clearance from OfficeDepot for $53 March 2022 but haven't used it yet because the older one has yet to die. Least expensive place I have found to buy filters for it is Menards.
FYI camelcamelcamel has an extension too. Functions just about identically. I didn't even realize folks still went to the camelcamelcamel website for anythingOr even easier you can add Keepa to your browser extensions and see historic prices of the item you're looking at instead of running an additional camel search.
was down to only $2.84 per roll!
I’m still working off my stash of multi packs from Home Depot that were pennied out around .33 cents per pack, but I would’ve bought more at $2.84. I think I’m down to two rolls.
Eh, just curious. I'm too lazy to add it and test myself, since I already have the Camelizer extension, but if there was some killer feature that I'm missing, I'd take a look at it.
