Things we rarely use

[artme]

How many things do we have that we rarely use but are glad we have?

The adjustable height steering column in my car comes to mind as does a collection of painting equipment.

Hi,
A lot of my router bits fall into that category, not used often but when I need (want) them they earn there keep for all the time they have been loafing.

My Spindle Moulder and Triton MOF Router. I don't need them all the time, but once a year, they come in damn handy! :;

I received a set of mental blocks some years ago.

In recent times I find I am using them more often.:D

Still on the car theme - the spare wheel and jack.
I had a car from new for 24 years and over that time I might have used the spare for 10km if that.
The jack was never used as I have a trolley jack, and the only time I recall having a flat was when I pulled a little pin out of a tyre. (Then used wife's car to take down and have fixed.)

However if you have a flat away from home you will be thankful for the spare and jack and hopefully a wheel brace.

For me, it's all the little doodads and gadgets...

...such as my small metal thread-sizing plate. Or dowel marking inserts. Or magnetic digital angle gauge. (For setting the TS, etc.)

Only use them once a blue moon, but when I do need to use them they always save me a heap of time and panadols. :)

(Now, if only I can find a little dohickey that keeps track of where my other wotchamacallits have gone since I last used them... :sigh: )

So THAT'S why he married a GPS/Mapping specialist with a database processing background!
My purpose, to put little gps trackers on all his bits and make an app so he can find them all. ... and bake cookies.

What do I use? my leatherman multitool. Keep it in my bag and every now/then, JUST what I need.

The leatherman is a great little tool.

I have a genuine, complete with comprehensive flying instructions, and an el cheapo copy. Both were gifts.
