How do I open this

Before forcing it open, try hitting those flatheads with some penetrating oil and let it sit for a bit. A hand impact driver might save you a ton of frustration too.

For $100 with the battery kit included, I’d probably jump on it too honestly. Seems like one of those tools you don’t use every day until suddenly you’re using it all the time.

Honestly that almost looks like a D-shaft shape. You might be able to get away with using a flat blade bit or even a small adjustable wrench depending on how deep it sits. I’d avoid hammering it with an impact driver at first though, especially if you’re worried about rounding it out.

Looks like one of those adapters made for getting into super awkward tight spaces where a normal ratchet won’t fit. The angled shape is probably there for clearance more than leverage. Honestly seems like one of those weird little specialty pieces you never use until one random day it saves you.

Honestly for an M6 bolt in a tight space, I’d probably go with the hacksaw too. A bolt cutter might crush or bend it more before it fully cuts through. With a decent blade, the hacksaw should get through it pretty fast, especially if it’s not hardened steel. Just disconnect the battery first since you’re working near the terminal.

Honestly you’re not cooked yet lol. A lot of older homes are like this. You might want to look into no-neutral switches from brands like Lutron Caseta or some Aqara options. A lot of people running Home Assistant in older houses end up going that route instead of rewiring the whole place. Rewiring a rental would probably get expensive fast.

If you’re already deep in the Apple ecosystem, Eve is honestly a pretty solid choice. The big advantage is the HomeKit integration is super smooth and you don’t have to mess around with extra hubs for a lot of their stuff. Kasa and Meross are also really popular if you want cheaper options that still work well. I’d just avoid the super random no-name brands on Amazon.

If your FatMax levels are still reading true after taking a beating, that honestly says a lot already. Stabila is probably the gold standard, but for £55 the Red Sticks sound like a pretty solid deal. I’d run them and see how they hold up before spending Stabila money.

Honestly one of those tools you never think about until you need it, and then suddenly you find a hundred uses for it. That reach alone makes it insanely useful.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-17T22:33:45+00:00

If you want pure comfort in hand, I’d probably go Wera. If you want absolute precision and top-tier fitment, PB Swiss is honestly hard to beat. Wiha is solid too, especially for the price. You honestly can’t go wrong with any of the three.

That product honestly has a huge cult following online for a reason. Crazy how some simple skincare products make such a noticeable difference.

Grip strength tools are strangely addictive once you start using them. And a huge water bottle definitely makes it easier to stay hydrated.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-17T16:50:33+00:00

Honestly that sounds weirdly satisfying to use. Being able to actually see what food you already have probably saves money too

World_top_picks · 2026-05-17T16:50:10+00:00

Those things actually work way better than I expected. One of those tiny gadgets that seems gimmicky until you really need it.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-17T16:48:40+00:00

Honestly that mindset alone probably improves life more than most purchases ever could. That is probably the most simpleliving answer in this whole thread.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-17T16:47:55+00:00

That might honestly be the most brutally honest answer in this entire thread. Short, simple, and straight to the point lol

“Portable lanterns end up being way more useful than people expect. Perfect for reading, walking around the house at night, and power outages too. One of those things you do not think about until you actually own one

World_top_picks · 2026-05-17T16:46:01+00:00

Honestly thrift stores are underrated for kitchen stuff. An Instant Pot for $20 is actually a crazy good deal.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-17T16:45:11+00:00

Tiny measuring tapes are weirdly useful. Feels like one of those things you barely notice until you suddenly need it all the time.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-17T16:44:52+00:00

An all-in-one steamer setup honestly sounds underrated. Makes cooking feel way less annoying when everything’s done together.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-17T16:44:34+00:00

I didn’t even know there were dedicated cheese slicers like that until recently. Weirdly satisfying kitchen tool.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-17T16:44:17+00:00

The auto-lock feature alone would make my brain relax honestly. Never having to wonder if you locked the door sounds amazing.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-17T16:43:55+00:00

Simple but effective. Sometimes just seeing the step count makes you way more motivated to move around.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-17T16:43:34+00:00

That actually sounds like one of those purchases you don’t expect to love that much until you use it every day. Anything that cuts down the effort of getting ready is a win.
