Telescoping Magnetic Picker

Enbar. Need A Hand? Pick Up Metal Tools, Scrap, Nails and More

Enbar Magnetic Telescoping Tool

Tech | Tools – Working With Metal? How About Small Screws And Bolts? Need A Hand?

Need a hand? Pick up a Enbar magnetic telescoping ‘pick me up’ tool.

This particular Enbar tool has a small magnet, extending 7″ to 30″, handy to have around when you need a magnetic hand. While work on the Jeep, from time to time, a screw or bolt might find it’s way in an area where my fingers and arms simply can’t reach. Also, the fingers lack magnetism to pick up 1″ to 2.5″ bolts, tucked down in front framing tubes (recently ‘lost’ down in the front tubing area, when changing out the headlamps… recovered a star screw, multiple times; just wasn’t a good day to tinker on the Jeep). This is where the Enbar came/comes in handy.

I chose the mini without a light, the small No.1 Magnet Tool, there are a three others in the handheld tool in the lineup. Others range in size, while others have a small light to help in tight, dark areas. Check out the link, Enbar tool, if you’re looking for the same help in and around the shop or garage.

A handy tool for roughly ~$10 bucks*, depending on which model you choose. So, for as little as ~$10 bucks* for the smaller model sans mini light or ~$12 bucks* for the largest tool with a light, *rounding up for simplification. The Enbar Magnet tool just might be the tool to have around the house, the shop and/or the garage. Maybe a couple, one small, one large? You pick, you pick the right ‘pick me up’ tool for your needs. Don’t forget to leave a comment or share your experience online, if you do choose to purchase one of these tools. Helps drive that customer review rating (4.6 stars of 3,925 ratings as of 8/6/2023).

Sous Vide

Do You Sous Vide?

Anova Precision Cooker

Gear – Anova Sous Vide

Anova Precision® Series Sous Vide – Have you tried a sous vide machine? We cover the Anova Precision® Series Sous Vide. Say what? Sous Vide? What’s a sous vide? Give the Anova Sous Vide a go. A sous vide, you say? Have you used one yet? We went with the Anova brand sous vide cooker. Specifically the Anova Precision® system with the 16 liter container.

(( SHOUT OUT )) @IHR, we got a tip from a local restaurateur (awesome guy, awesome stuff blasting out of the kitchen by the way), the sous vide is a great way to step up your kitchen game. These Anova cookers can be found at your local Anova. Listen, there are days when you need a little pick me up, special sauce; a little kitchen magic if you will… a little magic to whip up something special in the kitchen, and those of us who wish we had some real skills or talent in the kitchen*. The sous vide machine just might do the trick.

Taco proteins – Beef, Chicken, Pork, Fish, Shrimp etc., Briskets, Duck to Corned Beef, you name it, the sous vide does it. The only caveat is time. If you can set aside time for prep, create your entrees and sides, vacuum seal the pouches and done. Generally, we set aside a 30-60 mins for prep, 2 – 10 hours for cooking. This of course depends on the type of beef, we’ve tried the toughest, unfriendly kind and this sous vide machine kicks it’s *#$. Meaning, regardless of the time the meat took a bath, the result is what we’ve come to know as excellent.

We say kick the tires, have at it, the sous vide makes it easy to prep both sides and entrees, heat and cook dishes at an exact temperature. If you want, you can control the temperature home or away with the Anova app (we don’t use it now), helpful when starting down the path of bathwater cooking. Whatever meat, veggie, protein etc. is submerged will be kept at the temperature you want. This beast does it all. If you have time and the patience to learn how this thing works… May be a few cuts of beef or chicken, some cleaned/de-veined shrimp or a breast of duck. 3 easy steps, let the machine do it’s thing… you’re upping your kitchen game from zero skills to an arbiter of food stardom. This machine does require sealed packaging, from zipper bags to vacuum sealed bags – check out Anova’s Vacuum Sealer or Amazon – Anova Sealer.

World Changing for us. Listen, there are many kitchen gadgets, gimmicks, tricks, secrets, family recipes etc. that can spice up your game. We believe this sous vide machine is a long-term investment, and thought you might want to have a go at it too. We did and it made a whole lot of difference. We share a few shots of our kitchen setup, prep gear, finishing and clean up.

*Don’t beat us up in the comments, we are simply stating ‘we’ wanted to be better in and around the kitchen; we needed serious help LOL. So we found some!

Test, Test, and Retest – Finding value

In The Lab - Test

Lab Work – Test

Usability Coordinator: CRACKLING OVER THE RADIO “((Testing)) ((Testing)) ((1)) ((2)) ((3))”

Onto our fifth message here, this message is around ‘testing’… If not for anything else I’ve done in my career, both for other entities or myself, testing is a big one. I can’t stress this enough, the value of testing. I would say, Test, test and retest. Retest as many times as you can; adjust your hypothesis, adjust your trajectory of change. Obviously in the real world, there is a point of diminishing return, but from a business justification, it’s a heck of a lot cheaper to fix a test than production. This goes for code, speeches, design, spelling, text messages, SMS, phone calls, chat…

Once we complete our testing, we learn & apply our findings. As usual leave a comment below, let us know what you’re thinking?
