hardware, kitchenware toys. as seen on tv gimmicks.
cheap cheap stuff

don't recall seeing them.

but last year I've bought about 10 mops from them. those twisty type for slight less than RM10/piece. market price RM25 cheapest
yes, i'm a clean freak, change new mop every 2-3 months.

the down side about them is that when a particular item is sold out, it might never be restocked ever again. like the RM10 mop

I won't skimp on power tools.

it's either black n decker or bosch

bosch seems to have more aftermarket replacement parts though

just because i prefer established brands, doesn't mean that non branded sux

only own a makita table top saw. other than the regular carbon brush change, built quality is good.
i don't have any other table top saw for direct comparison though

oops, correction, i'm using mitre saw saw too

mostly PVC pipes, the blade is helluva expensive, about rm400 for a re-cut piece
can't use conventional wood saw blade on pvc pipes. it'll shatter the pipe

yeah, power tools are awesome

if color is not a matter to you, i'd go for the white sealant. so far no problem. the place that you want to seal has to be dry before applying the sealant.

must it be stainless steel?

there's pretty good looking ball valve, not sure if it serves the same purpose that you are looking for. about Rm6/pc

I've bought several LED light tubes T8 size, November last year.
so far so good. super bright
about Rm23/set

yes mr DIY brand.

complete set. just wire to 240V source.

went to SS2 mall and tesco ara damandasa previous sunday, saw a few.
selayang mall not much left
kepong sold out

Ive bought mr diy non rechargeable AA battery for my daughter lantern last year. within seconds the battery grew so hot, i can't even hold the handle. (battery is placed inside handle of lantern). Good thing i was quick enough to uncap the batteries. it was leaking badly.
lucky i tested the lantern first before passing it my my daughter.

other batteries like CR3032 don't last

but LR44 button batteries seems to be ok though. using it on digital calipers
