Re: Tesco stocking fillers and gadgets Vlogging kit discussion

Tesco has a range of "Keep it handy" items.

https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/s … it%20handy

Each at £1.50, but with a Clubcard offer of any 2 for £2 until 31 December 2022.

Of the Tesco offers of "Any n for whatever cost" format, I have sometimes had the offer more than once in the same order.

So I am having a look through the items, perhaps to get 2, 4, 6, or whatever depending what I choose.

I quite accept that some of them might never get used, but I consider it best to have it available than think at some time "if only I had bought that duct tape when I saw it." smile

For what sort of purposes could the various "Keep it handy" items be useful? Some are quite specific, but some seem more general in their potential applications.

I do remember many years ago when B&Q had lots of boxes of various things at 50p and a lady said that a lot get bought. However, we wondered how many ever got used and how many sat in a drawer and were never used.

However, I got a Tesco 26 Piece Multi-Purpose Tool Set for £6 some time ago and they are still £6, and I have used something from it several times for various things, including once using the cutters to cut some picture-hanging wire.

Why did you choose to highlight that particular review, William? The reviewer in question awarded the product three stars, but the surrounding reviews give it a rating of only one star.

Rubbish ⭐️ (13th September 2022)
Rubbish. Doesn't even grip the lid, never mind twist it.

No use at all ⭐️ (9th September 2022)
Absolutely useless. Does no grip at all. More grip with a damp cloth! Complete waste of money

ok ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ (31st August 2022)
ok for opening the ice valley water bottles which are impossibly tight lidded. Saves me breaking what teeth i have left, but could be a tad sturdier as didnt get cap right the way off.

Useless ⭐️ (29th January 2022)
So far, every time I have used this it has failed to open the jar or bottle and I've had to find something else to do the job. The design is so poor; a big rubber band would have more grip and be more effective.

Rubbish ⭐️ (12th December 2021)
Rubbish, hard to fit onto lids and just does not work!

My comment was nothing to do with the number of stars.

It was the comment that implied the reviewer opening a bottle of bottled water with his or her remaining teeth. Hopefully intended by the reviewer as humourous. I thought it hilarious. big_smile

Thanks for clarification. I also hope it was intended as humorous, but you never know! Some people seem quite happy to use their teeth for things like that.
