I was thinking about how I missed having an indoor thermometer that measures humidity. It’s such a small specific thing, one I’d never think of getting unless pushed to it (which I was by one particularly dry winter). But I like having one now.
What are your small, “random” or “junk drawer” type of gadgets that you actually use or like having around?
Because MAPP gas stopped being manufactured in 2008, for some reason. The new “MAP-Pro” yellow gas bottles have propylene in them instead.
More to the point, that’s not a step further; it’s the same thing I was talking about to begin with. My plumbing torch (a Bernzomatic TS4000) is compatible with both MAPP gas/MAP-Pro and propane.
(I kinda wish I could still get real MAPP gas. I’ve tried to braze with my torch running on propane, but it wasn’t quite hot enough and I don’t think MAP-Pro would be, either. I might have to bite the bullet and upgrade to a proper oxy-propane or oxy-acetylene torch, but I’m annoyed at the expense.)
