    One for the DIYers - Bosch laser tape measure, £40. Absolute game changer.
    Got attacked in a B&Q once... Was minding my own business and then... BOSCH!!

    I'm shit at DIY and I hate it.

    I never do it

    But I really want a laser tape measure now because it sounds cool
    I daren’t get one. My wife might get hold of it and I’d never be able to tell her the this is 8 inches again:

    Swiss army knife. Leatherman goes with me as well when trekking.
    Just ordered this but I think I'll break it within a week.

    My cleverest gadget is my Thermos flask. It keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. But the clever bit is how it knows!
    You are liar !!

    I put in some tomato soup and some vanilla ice cream this morning and the ice cream has melted.

    now my lunch is ruined.

    If it can`t be my Gerber multi-tool, which has helped myself and a few others out of some tight situations, it would have to be my Drift HD crash helmet cam. White van man seems to leave alone on the road when he notices it on the side of my head.

    Looking at the kegs, you are paying £3 a pint to drink at home which seems quite expensive.

    Initially yes, but with Beer Hawk for example. You can buy 4 for 90quid, which is £2.15 per pint. Then you get a fiver for each keg returned. That's then 70quid for 42 pints which works out at £1.66 per pint!

    DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone. It’s not cheap admittedly. Amazing 4K images, easy to fly (comes home automatically if required) and the gimbal on it keeps steady images even when the wind is strong.

    Yes, I do. And the team I’m filming are based about 500 metres from the end of the runway! The people who caused all the problems made it impossible for me to get permission to shoot any footage there, even at 5-10 metres up. Absolute wankers.

    My trusty penknife with a handy attachment for getting stones out of horses hooves.








    Maybe only those of a certain age will relate to this.

    The kindle app for phone/ipad is one of the most useful apps I own. It's completely free, and allows me to read the book on my phone whilst I'm out and about, and when I'm at home on my kindle it just picks up where i left off.

    I still struggle with the concept that in the modern world you have to plug in books and cigarettes.

    I thought it was for getting Boy Scouts out of horses’ hooves.
