10 Small Things I Love Owning
1.Zippo Lighter
Beautiful design unchanged for 75 years, used worldwide and very eco friendly. For the price of 5 throw away disposable plastic lighters which become eco damaging landfill, this gadget keeps on going for years and years...
2. Swiss Army Knife
Always handy for almost anything.
3. Swiss Watch
Its my timepiece of choice. I have 5 in my collection. I will never go for Rolex, though, ugh! There's 5 times more Rolex fakes in circulation than the real ones.
I like Tag Heuer, Victorinox, Wenger, IWC, and my fav of all ORIS!
4. CB Radio
Great for convoys in long drives with mates, in the outback (no cell phone signals), handyman uses, and learning the latest lingo from truckies.
5. Binoculars
Great for Concert halls, Opera, big day out events, sailing, camping, fishing, races, planespotting, trainspotting, birdwatching, and stargazing.
6. Catchers Mitt / Baseball Glove
Oh man! I just love the feel and sound of that ball when it plops in that Sweet Spot!
7. Blower
Its amazing how this little gadget has so many uses! It used to be for my SLR equipment but its very useful for other things such as, blowing off specks, drying your wristwatch, blowing out drill holes on concrete or wood, cleaning out keyboards, anything where you used to blow with your mouth!
8. Worldtime Clock
This gadget tells me the time of any place anywhere in the world just by rotating the outer bezel! Its always my companion when travelling overseas!
9. Dynamo Torch / Flashlight
I never have to buy batteries again with these flashlights. Just about 10 turn cycles and it would give me a good light for a few minutes.
10. LED calculator
They are the best!
I hate hate hate those LCD calculators you can never use in the dark. LED calculators are so bright even in total darkness. Sometimes you have to do some quick calculations under a telescope under the night sky, inside a pitch black cave, in camping on a dark night, or inside the cinema.

Truly is a lucky country!
Re: Blower
You buy them from Camera shops. They are used by Pro photographers to clean their SLR lenses and sometimes the digital sensors in case of dust invasion. Great also for blowing out specks in eyes, blowing out excess lubricants when cleaning pistols and rifles, cleaning dust from keyboards, blowing on soldered wiring to cool down, and so many other uses!
Cheers, mate
