This instrument lets me measure the gravity of a small volume of wort while it's mashing or boiling instead of having to wait and take a large reading at room temperature at the end. This information would let me adjust the boil to make sure I get the gravity I'm expecting.

I've been doing some research and this seems to be the best entry-level laser cutter engraver on the market at the moment.

The Curta is the pinnacle of mechanical calculators as far as most people are concerned. They range anywhere from $1000 to $3000 or more depending on condition and who you buy them from.

The Curta is the pinnacle of mechanical calculators as far as most people are concerned. They range anywhere from $1000 to $3000 or more depending on condition and who you buy them from. The Type II was a later model that was a bit larger than the Type I to support more digits for calculation.

This is one power tool I don't have in my arsenal, and an angle grinder is incredibly useful when you need to do things like cut through large pieces of metal like rebar sticking out of concrete, or grind concrete itself.

These electric scissors are ideal for cutting through cardboard boxes and will make it really easy to break them down for recycling, or reusing boxes for other projects.

I would like a foldable electric bike I could use as a vehicle for quick trips downtown and to the store as an alternative to the car. I'd like an ebike to give me a boost up hills, and a foldable one so it doesn't take up so much room. This one seems to have good ratings among the cheaper bikes. The fancy ones are over $1000!

I'm actually perfectly happy with my current smoker but if I ever were to upgrade it would be to something like this this that works with standard wood or charcoal but automates the process.

A hop spider sits inside my brew kettle and acts like a tea strainer, only for hops. This keeps all of that hop sediment out of the bottom of my kettle so it's easier to clean up and less likely to clog my pump.

We could always use more 3D printing plastic. Be creative and pick a fun color!

This is a fantastic aftershave made from real essential oils and does a good job of soothing my skin after a shave. As a bonus, Joy likes how it smells.

I like my 30-30 rifle but it would be nice to have a modern all-around solid bolt-action rifle that shoots a modern .308 round. This is a popular choice.

I carry a basic flashlight in my pocket and I'd like to upgrade it with a rechargeable one that has a high beam option. This is considered one of the best choices and is similar in size to my current flashlight.

A number of my friends have video glasses like this they use to watch videos, play games, and overall use computers while they are traveling, to provide them with a bit more privacy on a plane, while also enabling them to have a much bigger screen due to how the glasses display the video.

I have this company's electronics toolkit and it is great. This portable soldering iron is battery powered and super convenient for the types of soldering I do.

The cabin is often musty when we show up there. It would be nice to have an air purifier I can run inside there when it's all closed up that would freshen the air.

These radios, paired with your phone, allow you to join a local mesh network over more than a mile (longer if more radios are around) and communicate with each other with text messages all without cellular access--handy for hikes and around the cabin!

I am interested in getting into local mesh networking that lets you communicate without cellular networks during a disaster (or when out of cell range). This repeater is something I could set up at my house or cabin to always have a local point to connect to from.

This doesn't look very exciting, but it is a long-range antenna I can hook up to a meshtastic radio and increase the range quite a bit.
