Yeah, some things just aren't worth it haha

I would highly recommend these ones: https://www.amazon.com/Hakko-CHP-170-Micro-Cutter/dp/B00FZPDG1K
​
If you cut anything really strong or oddly shaped you can dull them pretty easily, but otherwise they cut really clean and easily and they're super sharp. I have pick up a bunch of these, mine are almost too dull to use now :(
They also sell 3 prong to 2 prong adapters here. We had to use them at my parents house growing up.

I bought this on Amazon and it works great. It even beeps for continuity unlike the harbor freight one.
Do yourself a favor and get an ice cream spade. First job was working in an ice cream store for years. You don't need tiny shitty scoops. This thing just lets you dig into ice cream and it won't break.

you shouldn't use drill bits on something as hard as a sea shell anyway, it's not going to cut the same way it cuts metal. get some rock grinding bits like this and a dremel
All the stress going into a tiny nut. There's chinesium, but at some point engineering matters more.
My last cheapo garlic press had its metal bend around the filter bit and it became unusable. I spent a bit more on my next one, now its got massive chunk of metal around the area that matters most:

It's served me faithfully
The Hakko CHP 170 is made in Italy and costs about the same as the Klein. I've had mine for about 7 years now and it cuts anything shy of steel wire, definitely good enough for PLA, ABS, and Nylon filament and removing support material, definitely safer than using a knife to remove it, ask me how I know? They do need replaced soon though, the blades a a bit misaligned after resharpening with a file a few too many times.

Iridium 192/3 are radioactive and synthetic. 191 is stable, natural, you can buy it on amazon.
As for the people defrauding people, i doubt they have public safety high on their minds anyway.

Also used in spark plugs.
This is the one that I bought in summer and it’s g been very very good! https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B092MQ51BC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_3RECNXFE34X5ZNW5GPX8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Put it next to my Nest thermostat and they show the same reading. Really opened my eyes to how heat builds up upstairs. 5 degrees difference between where the Nest is in the living room and upstairs during summer.
That looks like one of the cheap ones made from a cast metal. You want one made from stainless steel. I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I937QEI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I was the same way for a long time. It seems the older I get the better I do with it. I've lost a few but the norske kit comes with multiples of the common bits.
This is the set I've got.

Here's my protip:
You can get a set of Cuisinart knives from Amazon for $20. They're not great and they'll dull easily if you use them a lot, but they'll get the job done.
Supplement those with a 3 piece Zwilling J.A. Henckels set for $130. These blades are high carbon stainless, so they'll stay sharp even if you use them every day, and they've got enough steel to ensure that they won't rust.
Note that Henckels now makes a lot of grades of knife. You don't want the stainless steel, because they won't hold their edge. You also don't want the forged high carbon steel. Those are superior, but too expensive. Leave those for the professionals. For a home kitchen, the stamped high carbon steel is fine.
Yeah we don’t use these sort of things much, my wife got it because it looked “fancier” than the trusty once piece cap opener (keychain kind, but larger). And now we’re back to using my old one. Hahah
Not only is tungsten super scratch resistant but you can buy tungsten rings starting at like $5. Here's one on amazon very similar to this one for about $20.
Also, obligatory monty python.
OXO seems to make good ones. As much as I don't like Amazon, you can find lots of products there if you search for "borosilicate glass baking dish".
If you don’t mind a different style I recommend a stainless steel slide latch meant for diving. I ordered them off amazon when my last chinesium one broke and it feels much nicer. Unfortunately still made in China I think. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082LWM5L1/
