(Part 2) Top products from r/specializedtools

Buying an IR thermometer (this one, which cost about a quarter of the one you linked, not sure why) was one of the best investments I've made in kitchen equipment, and not just for frying. The best of all the many uses is to check the temperature of food you're going to put in the fridge or freezer to make sure it's low enough.

Also good for checking the temperature of your fridge and freezer.

In addition, they're cool toys. Want to know the temperature of your curtains, your bath water, your cat? Point and click.

I used this earlier this year to redo my 3/4” western red cedar fence. It was gapped pickets before but I wanted it to be privacy style. This was awesome to reuse all the old boards. If the nails are extremely angled and set deep, it will take a chunk of wood out with the head. The nails in my fence were 11 gauge aluminum screw shanks and presented no problems. If you hold it flush the piston will create an additional divot in the wood that can be avoided by giving it a little space. I’m happy to own one though. I wanted to buy an extra piece so I could modify it and Air Locker hooked me up with a link and a reasonable price. Great CS.

It can also be used to drive things on through wood.

For anyone removing nails, I suggest adding this to the combo. Crescent 11" Nail Puller Pliers - NP11 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008NM6VAA/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_7mHPDbW5Y7VYA

> way up high behind the engine

so in a spot where you cant get to with a big ole honken tool like this one? and then get another arm up there to tighten it onto the filter?

id suggest looking at amazon for different oil filter wrenches. there are some really nice ones that, between a couple of them, will make any oil filter a breeze.

the 2 i rely on are this one for filters you can only access the side of:

and (similar to) this on when you can only access the end(paired with a stubby wrench:

I linked the Thermoworks one just to show an example, not to necessarily buy that one. But I should've been clear about that.

I was all about the one you linked until I saw its ReviewMeta score, spoiler its reviews failed. Glad it is working for you regardless.

I used to have one of these and it was handy because unlike this one, it stayed on your thumb and you didn't have to remove it each time as you turned pages.

This one is perfect if you need it to stay open on the same page for a long time though.

It's just a design play. Electronic opisometers already exist: https://www.amazon.com/Calculated-Industries-6025-Digital-Measure/dp/B002O16VKQ/
...better grip, better reach, and smaller wheel too- so it's gonna be more acurate than a silver-dollar-sized wheel you need to hold awkwardly.

I also have one...every time a similar “new measuring device” shows up on reddit I’m over here with my 30+ year old one like ??? They even already make digital ones with hundreds of reviews on amazon...
