Got something cool? Non-shaving Acquisitions Thread

[glenos]

Here's a little taste of my something special. Was due last week, then this week and now looks likely to be next week, oh well maybe eventually.

That would be Efest, I use 2 0f them at work and sell them, only an average charger, Xtar VC4 is better, It will recover low discharged lithium batteries that Efest cant.
Efest don't make batteries they just rewrap other brands, most are junk.

agreed on the battery's but i have charged batteries from 3.3 volts without a problem a few times in my blu6 and its outlasted 2 nitecore chargers and tbh i wouldn't bother charging a battery from much lower it will be stuffed at best pipe bomb at worst. do the xtar fit 20700 batteries ? funnily enough they are best of the pack with 20700s even though i would never buy any other battery from them.

Yes the 20700 batteries fit, I can recover batteries as low as 1 volt they are perfectly fine after charging, I use them daily I know when a battery is stuffed.

What's the matter @wayne646 ?? don't enough muscles to become a hardcore manual woodchopping lumberjack

I've been splitting wood like that for 25 years, sometimes I miss

Not a balisong.
Any knife that could be opened using a flicking motion (including almost all knives that are one hand opened) are illegal to import.
"Knives that can be opened with gravity or centrifugal force and/or pressure applied to a button, spring or device in or attached to the handle of the knife"

Laws changed in 2015 I belive.
One hand open is fine, I’ve had dozens of knives inspected by customs and all came through, ranging from flippers, compression locks, axis lock and friction folders (easily opened by gravity)

No that's incorrect, https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/Customsnotices/Documents/2015-40.pdf

Stewth, Wayne! Hope you recover quickly. How many stitches?
I very nearly did this about 25 years ago in Kalgoorlie - was saved by my steel caps.

Did the thongs survive?
I had a workmate that had a similar injury. He was the WHS officer at work but at home decided to trim a fence paling with a circular saw using his foot as the vice whilst wearing thongs.

7 stitches, I should have been wearing my boots but I only wanted to split a couple of small pieces, bit of a wake up call.

The thong survived just with minor bruising

But are they both high speed and low drag?

 

[Ferret619]

Today’s tactical pen is second from the left, you know, the one that looks like a pineapple grenade.
The positives I had where that I liked that it is a full size pen and the colour is nice..


Not my favourite TBH.
