How are these better than bottles of water?

The plastic of the bottle is not good for long term storage

And takes up more space
shyt self explanatory from design alone

aux cable extension really useful. i use them on my laptop, desktop, ipad, phone and even in the car for passengers. they've even prolonged the life of earphones due to the fact that they're not constantly being pulled sideways on my laptop and desktop audio port. i've got some in various lengths.

i prefer to order them from china directly since I can get 4 or 5 for the price of what one will sell on amazon, etc.

I got that same model, different brand. I was driving a gas guzzler and learned that uneven air pressure affects your mileage. I've used it a couple of times in a clutch and now that I have a bicycle it'll get more use.

I also got a portable car charger, DBpower 800a. I bought it the same night I paid some random driver $10 to give me a boost. used it a few times since especially during the lockdown when my car wasn't touched for like 3 or so weeks at a time.

I've jumped 3 cars with that thing. It is clutch

I just ordered this bad boy off Amazon this week

Only 28 bucks and works like a champ. No more having to worry about scavenging quarters or waiting in any lines at gas stations to put air into tires.

I'm guessing there is no all-in-one that combines both of these...

there are but they're more expensive for decent ones. I suggest you buy them seperately. my bro got a $250 one and complained about the air compressor functionality within 2 weeks.

I just got a flexible tripod with remote for phones and I'm so happy I got it. My girl loves it. Like a whole different person when I hit that record button . Getting videos randomly is absolutely amazing. Like my own personal onlyfans where I'm the only fan.

Even if you find one, it's best to have separate devices that excel in doing one thing rather than having some jack of all trade machine that dulls the efficiency of multiple tasks just to say it could do it all.

Especially when it comes to battery jumping. I had a multipurpose battery bank that had a battery jumping feature that seemed good enough at the time until we met a battery that was drained all the way down and it hadn't the power to give it enough charge to turn over.



Went and got a dedicated one and landed on this badboy. Now while I'm not knocking any of the other chargers I've seen folk put on here since I'm sure they work just as well, but what I love about this one is that amongst all the safety features it has (Detects incorrect setup and warns you of it. Doesn't spark up on you) it also has the ability to start a completely dead battery by taking away all the safety parameters and giving you all it's amperage to jump whatever it's connected to.

Also has a USB port so you could charge a phone incase of an emergency too along with a built in flash light for night time use. Very good shyt.

A deep freezer

If you are a single man and you own a deep freezer, you are in great shape.

Kitchen stays filled with a variety of groceries. Plus you never really have to buy a bunch of food from scratch. I usually spend $40 here, $60 there....

Also, for the folk posting about life saving trunk shyt that they got in boot of their vehicles'n'shyt, I'll add the following that's gotten me out of a few jams that are now main stays in the back of my own.



I live in the Caribbean where I can get away with riding around with a machete damn near in my lap since garden/landscaping is a major thing living on an island where there is constant vegetation and farming going on, so what I'm suggesting might not be entirely practical to my ADOS brethren, but keeping a knife, a strong, capable, sharp, full tanged knife for the sole purpose of cutting whatever you need to cut..EFFICIENTLY. From Ropes to Dopes. Keep it oiled and in the sheath at the far back of the car for emergency purposes.

Cargo Straps.



These things are way more versatile than rope in my opinion due to the hook and the ability to tension it tautly if you need to hold something together in a jiff. Rope tends to get brittle and fray depending on how you acquired it (Newly bought or discarded and used) but these things almost always stay intact, especially if you're keeping it for the sole purpose of being in your trunk and not latching down Cargo like it's designed for. I've used the ones in the back of my car to pull atleast two vehicles out of tractionless situations (with another truck, not my car, mind you) where a rope couldn't really manage the load. Also, you can take it out of the ratcheter and use it as a....rope. lol.



While I tend to have battery pack operated tools that I keep charged in the boot of my car, a corded power tool almost always beats a battery powered one in terms of power and I can't count how many times I haven't had to plug this bad boy into use a grinder, table saw or at times power up an LTE router when I had no battery pack or functioning DC cable to give it juice.

Keep it in the handrest or glove compartment and you WILL find a use for it, if not a dedicated one. Trust.

Any specific one you recommend and got a link for?



Also, I thought this thread would be stickied by now.
