    Not too expensive and a great knife to have.

    Don't be at that shite. Fuse is a safety feature. If it blew, it blew for a reason - you wouldn't weld the slip clutch on an expensive piece of machinery would you?

    I was thinking about this yesterday and came up with 3.

    My phone, great for making calls from anywhere and staying in touch with the world.

    The guidance system for the tractor for spreading, I can get a load of fertiliser out and not worry about any over or underlaps. Paid for itself in two years.

    And my family, when sh!t hits the fan here, they're always able to get me over the hump.

    In all seriousness, I don't think I'd last a month without the wife.
    I thought my answer would be the phone. But if I'd no phone I'd survive.
    The amount of different things the woman of the house does is incredible.

    I have the Lidl one, cost €60. On my second one. The first one wasn't as strong as the newer ones. I Use it to trim in under the electric fence. It's grand and light too. It was someone on here that recomended it.
