Your loot of the day

[Kb27]

Delivered from Amazon Germany, 21mm sockets x2, Cr-Mo, impact rated, Made in China. They're heavy. It was $21, but now jump to $41, funny Amazon pricing.

It has flank drive, noticed the inner sides are slightly curved, not flat. So it drives the nut on the flats, not the corners and won't round them off.

flank drive tools will feel a bit loose on the fasteners because of the way they grip

I remember when I passed one to my friend, he said, ehh... how come your spanner feel loose by half a mm one 🤭

Yes, slightly bigger by 0.5mm.

I wanted to buy from Shopee, but all normal sockets. Only from Amazon, can get most sockets with flank drive.

But that $21 price was likely Amazon mistake. I bought a few items that looks really cheap and then when I revisited the same item, the price has gone up. It looks like their price checking algorithm kicks in after someone buys an item. 😁

that happened to me a few times, sometimes price increases sometimes decreases, can be quite substantial 

by now most sockets and spanners should have some form of flank drive, haven't see a straight hexagon corner drive one for a while

You at Ang mo chu. Why didn’t you get a vented one. Helps to clear the fumes faster. 
unless you also have an outdoor cooking area

Rinnai will last u long while. When I bought my bto I got Rinnai. Then my sis and my mum also got it subsequently. 

My current place one (oven, hood and induction hob) is also rinnai. legacy from the previous owner. Should be ten years already.

Previously I used Techno dual hob and it burns out. the plastic knobs. Then I replace it with the same, and it does the same thing again.

I got fed up and finally replaced it with a Rinnai commercial single hob. And it's been working well ever since.
