@@littleBIGrobots I've been saving all year for my Prusa MK3, I worked two jobs to pay for it. I can't emphasise enough how good it is - best tool I've ever bought.
I bought one at Wally world a couple years ago and they quit selling them(around here at least). I've been using my dremel to alter the standard blades for refills. Lol, so glad to finally have a place to get them.
Mega thumbs up on Libby. I’ve used it this past year to listen to around 500 hours of audiobooks, almost all by Brandon Sanderson. Pro tip: you can avoid waiting in huge lines for audiobooks by making use of the suspension feature. Basically, you put a hold on a book, then suspend your hold. You always just select 6 months, as you can set it back to active at any time. When a hold is suspended, you’ll move towards the front of the line as normal, but when you get to the front you’ll just stay there and let people pass you in line until you set it to active. You can do holds like this on up to 10 books at a time. Think of it as sending out 10 robots to stand in line at Disney world rides, long before you even enter the park. Then, you just replace the robot at the front of the line, and ride without personally waiting. At most, you wait for the “next car” (ie the very next book return). Combine that technique with checking the auto-checkout box when you change your hold to active, and it makes things a breeze.
My favorite of the Favorite Things series so far - practical, affordable tools for those of us who can't afford to drop a grand into a 3d printer or a camera
Also the focus on things that dont cost 4-500 usd. Like Adam gets really excited when he find new tools, but his discoveries tend to be really expensive for most people.
would love to see videos of you building models, like a time lapse or even a diy kinda thing maybe? you are my new favorite Tested contributor. cant wait to see you more on the show and hope this means more uploads coming now.
Thanks Kayte, I'm in the UK and investigated 'Libby'. It turns out my local authority did use Libby but now use 'borrow box', you've shown me the way to a literary community I never knew I had access to.

+1 to the diamond files. I got a set of those about a month ago, and they are AMAZING!!! So much faster, more accurate, and easier to clean than my standard metal files.
The lighting and color in this video is really nice (maybe it’s the contrast between the purple shirt and orange spacesuit, and not blowing out the whites). Good job Gunther (I assume. Or Joey maybe).
@@TheDungineer as for scissors, I have the PH-55, I use it for electrical work but it has many uses. Like bending steel wire, opening packages(without the need of opening the scissors), stripping wires, cutting plastic sheet and thin metal sheet, etc.. And pliers I have the PZ-58 and PZ-59, the first one is medium-small size, and the second is the one you use as a last resort. Both have serrated teeth, horizontally and longitudinally. You can use them as normal pliers or to remove screws/bolts with the head stripped or rusted. In the US they sell them as Vampliers, but they are the same thing just in red color instead of green.

Can't go wrong with Harbor Freight Tools for files, diamond rotary bits, and sanding compounds, but I much prefer Alpha Abrasives Sanding Sponges, my Godhand SP120, and X-acto Z series blades!
@@bradleyholcombe6114 Nope. Which is why I have two hobby stores bookmarked for the really good tools, and a stack of Michaels and Hobby Lobby coupons just in case of Emergency.
Wow, I've paid more for a lesser set of files. Usually Harbor Freight is great for tools that will last for that ONE job, but I will be headed there this week!
If you like diamond files, check Amazon for 'Rifler Files', they have arc's and curves that a standard set doesn't. A set of 10 is $11-12, and they are life changing, well, no, but they are really handy.
I'm a window cleaner and listen to audiobooks all day, all year, usually sci fi, usually vpn, good to know there is a free way - i'm in the uk so i'll have to check if they do something similar - thanks x

Loving these videos, maybe I don’t pay attention, I have no idea who half these people are but their recommendations are great. I assume Adam is last? Can’t wait.
One thing I learned about Harbor Freight is that their electric powered tools are garbage. But hand/manual tools and little off the path tools like the files are great.

J Godsey it’s the nature of the channel. The channel covers “making” and nerd/tech stuff. Thus there will be tools, tech, video production equipment, and “nerd toys”. More of the nerd toys will generally trend towards being guy stuff made as display models to sit on shelves. The female/feminine equivalent would be Pinterest-type decorations (which plenty of these women probably enjoy), but those types of things don’t generally fall under the purview of this channel and the content it typically features. Thus, when everyone tries to find fav things to show on the channel, the guys will show more nerd toys (and tools/equipment), while the girls will tend more towards the tools/equipment without the toys/display models. Or to put it another way, the types of “toys” that fit on this channel are the same types of displays that often fail the “girlfriend/wife test” (ie will she be accepting of it being displayed openly in the house). Meanwhile, the Pinterest-type displays/decorations don’t fit the channel, thus skewing the picks of the girls.
@@dav1dsm1th yes David, I have heard of people being slightly pregnant. And extremely pregnant. Although that question was quite off topic, your second statement appears to check out

Exactly. Normally it's like "Here's my favorite 700$ printer" or something :)
It's always super nice to find affordable tools that last. Replacing stuff when you need them the most suuuuuucks.
@@littleBIGrobots I've been saving all year for my Prusa MK3, I worked two jobs to pay for it. I can't emphasise enough how good it is - best tool I've ever bought.
I think this may be the best one yet. Maybe that's just because I too have just found fingertip exactos this year and love them a ton.

Didn’t think I’d see Engineer Tools and Harbor Freight Tools in the same list but this works out.
@Jeremiah Bullfrog Same! I am total believer in anything without a battery at HF is a good deal.
Some very useful things there; can't believe I've never seen fingertip craft knives before, that's clever stuff.

Solid list! Libby is awesome... Having a library card for LA and SF gives you access to sooo much material!
Those scissors scissors and cutting knife look fabulous. And YES!!! Libby is awesome for library books!!
My favorite scissors are the Scotch Ultra Edge Titanium. I've gone through over 1000 cuts through 16AWG copper wire with no noticable edge wear.
Great to see Fiskars outside Finland!
Im in australia and all my garden gear is fiskars. 👌
I'm in Germany and found a garlic press and Other kitchen stuff from Fiskars

Paradox because parents often like to play around with spelling and names. Look up the recent “abcde” (pronounced “absiddy”) controversy.

Try those files on steel, then lets see how "diamond" they really are:)
They're the same synthetic diamond used on diamond cutting discs, boring cutters, etc, so are actually probably fine on steel.
7 dollars a sett. Real diamondfile (1) costs about 50 dollars depending how big it is. And yes, i use them almost daily when working.
