There have been a lot of responses to have not gotten a "your mom." Alternatively that may reflect that your mom is not a good value purchase even under $50.

I will give two:

Knipex Pliers Wrench, useful in ways that make you wonder how you ever lived without them




KNipex Cobra water pump pliers, you don't understand how good this type of pliers can be until you use a set of Knipex




There is a reason every manufacturer that makes pliers rushed to attempt to copy them the moment the patents ran out.

I have every size of each up to the 560mm (22") Cobras, and find them all extremely useful except maybe the EDC darling tiny ones.

Was he from Aliceville by chance?

I got a top notch laptop for $50. Might have been hot. Locked down and needed a system board for another $50.

Black Friday double door air fryer/toaster from WalMart. It was $50 and gets more use than our microwave. Cold pizza is better reheated in it than when delivered. And stays clean unlike those bucket air fryers that are just greasy and nasty.

I agree with bidet.

You can’t put a price on a fresh a-hole.

An older version of this toaster oven. It's just me and my wife now and this works fine, instead of heating up the oven. One of the knobs started screwing up and the wife bought some kinda Bellville convection thing.



I cut a new slot for the B&D knob and the new one has never been used. It has to be 30+ years old.

Also I have had this since college.

A Timex that I’ve worn daily for nearly twenty five years. It’s ticked its last tock I’m afraid and I just replaced it with a Citizen for my new daily beater.
