Its the same with many Ferrari owners,I have thread insert envy
Seeing the helicoil box, I remember now why the their specific insert tools are better than anyone elses... those shaped tools guide the insert into the thread so much smoother and more accurately than the ones with just a slot in the bottom. Almost impossible to break off the tang prematurely, too.
Not many of them are able to 'drive' them either

2 new 12v batteries for the Bosch tools.
10% off at Screwfix
That 10% off session at SF has a lot to answer for.
I ended up buying something whilst they had that offer on, too.Now do it by hand . . up/down a slope, on tarmac covered in tiny loose bits, and then come back and tell us again . . .
Thanks for posting about this - 9 quid delivered from Amazon, so I bought a few.
Used on Sunday - first time I've re-appeared from the garage after a good day of angle-grinder using, flap wheel and stripping wheels, plasma cutting, and welding, then carried out the wet-hanky on a finger reaming of the nostrils trick to clean out the crap and kept a clean hanky!
Nothing appears to have got through. Comfy enough to fit and wear for several hours with no issues, obviously sealed well as my specs never once misted up, fitted nicely under my Speedglas mask and didn't feel too restrictive.
Fits nicer, better and longer than the 3M masks I have been using. Not yet got the hang of fastening the hooks the right way to lay flat, but don't notice in use.
Your bottle opener could be close to 100 yrs old! Numbers on it show it could could go back to 1924 - they tweaked the design and changed the numbers later on.
Crown Cork and Seal still a big company (Crown Holdings) - still making "Crown corks" - the logo might just look similiar to a discarded cap

Well over a year since I built my current pc.
Storage is getting tight so finally decided to grab an nvme drive for it.
Cloned the drive and swapped over in an hour.
Now to find a new GPU for my eldest. He's getting into pc gaming more these days

a cordless router , even with a 36V battery on top it's still half the weight of my 240V makita time will tell whether its any good but certainly looks and feels impressive .
If Im working on worktops etc I'm always going to have power and my old Hitachi m12v2 is still a beast by today's standards.

have you any really old fuseboards?
We regularly still use the stuff on the farm, although the worst boards are slowly being changed to MCBs...
