https://shokz.com/products/opencomm2 I am on conf calls and video chats for several hours per day. These are a product I would pay for until I die.
I have their OpenRun headset, and for voice the quality is great; music a little iffy but acceptable when considering not getting hit by a car. Battery is awesome, and I'm assuming thats the same for the Opencomm
Gyroscopic Screwdriver My brother in law in a general contractor and raved about his new gyroscopic screwdriver a couple years ago. I bought one last month and it's easily the best thing I've bought this year. Under $100 and it's truly a must have. I have the dewalt one, not sure if any other brands make em. https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCF682N1-Gyroscopic-Inline-Scr...
I bought a Bosch GO this year, my brother as well. Should be the same kind of tool. It drives the screw in (or out) if you apply pressure to it.
A sous vide machine. It's just a fancy stick that circulates water at a precise temperature, but it makes the most delicious and tender chicken and fish that you'll ever make at home. You can start it in the morning and leave it going while you're out. Then dump the contents into a frying pan for a minute or two to sear the outside, and lunch/dinner is ready. You do need a vacuum sealer, but the total investment is l…
Been considering buying one but I am worried if plastic staying in contact with food while hot. Is this something you researched?

What’s the biggest improvement in your experience versus a more traditional setup? (Either over-ear with standalone mic or in-ear buds etc). Never tried bone conduction!
Mitigates further hearing loss from years of using buds. Also, when in a loud or crowded environment, I just put my fingers in my ears and can hear the other party crystal clear (vs potentially turning the volume up on buds to dangerous levels to compensate).
This box cutter tool, which is https://a.co/d/aOxoVOp . It makes opening packages so much easier. It doesn’t have a blade, so it’s much safer to use than scissors or a knife.
If it doesn't have a blade, how does it cut then?

I just took a look at the Bosch. It looks like you have to switch a button to screw or unscrew. The Dewalt, you twist counterclockwise and it unscrews, clockwise and drives the screw in. You don't have to manually switch directions. The coolest part is the more you twist the screwdriver, the faster it will turn. You really have to use it to feel how awesome of a device it is.
And this thing generates so much torque, I feel kinda worried about twisting my wrist to select the direction.
CO2 Monitor to let me know when I need to let some new air into my office. Mine is a TFA Dostmann 31.5009, but any model with an NDIR sensor should be fine, there are many choices around 70-150 EUR.
CO2 poisoning is very common. It leads to fatigue, headaches/migranes and concentration issues. Most people don't recognize it and try to cope with caffeine & pain killers. I noticed that sitting in a tightly closed office surrounded by monitors , CO2 was being trapped around me . I started testing with blood oxygen monitor and could reliably predict low blood O2 based on the above symptoms. tl;dr keep your door and/…
While I'm writing the comment, it's important to note you will almost certainly notice high CO2 content but you very likely won't notice low O2 content. Think about inhaling a helium from the balloon tank. You know there is very little O2 in it at all, you can even hear how it changes your voice, but you can keep breathing more in and out until you pass out cold and not even "sense" the lack of O2 until seconds before you pass out you start feeling very lightheaded. On the other hand if you breathed in CO2 like that you'd immediately notice and feel awful. This is because the body doesn't detect how much O2 you're taking in it detects how much CO2 you're able to get rid of. All this is to say, if you have low blood O2 levels don't necessarily expect to be aware of it.
The third thing I'll mention, since it seems inevitably someone comes by and reads "CO2" and confuses it with CO (carbon monoxide), is CO and CO2 are different things with different ppm values and different outcomes. It seems inevitably in the conversations CO will kill you in less than an hour at 1000 ppm, with effects from long term exposure possible at far less than that. If you have an appliance that burns fuel to function you really should have CO detectors, even if your state doesn't mandate one. If you don't get a CO2 monitor the worst that'll happen to you is you'll not feel as great (assuming CO2 isn't so bad your problem is actually there isn't enough oxygen left).
The Wera Toolcheck Plus has been a great addition to my toolbox Generally now grab it first, when a job comes up! https://products.wera.de/en/ratchets_and_accessories_zyklop_...
How do you buy it? Want to grab one for my brother, but there's no purchase button? Weird
Noise canceling wireless earbuds. I’ve had both a Jabra and a Beats… very happy with both. Nice for blocking out noise. No messy cables, can use with any device… I was skeptical, I liked my corded headphones fine. Just turns out these sound better and are way more useful for me.
