Hi, I still have some leftover birthday money from last summer. I am looking for any tech from $0.01-$100 that makes lives easier. I know Linus made 7 videos on handy tech, but I am looking for more from the forum users. Put your handy tech in the comments below!

I have a small folding solar panel that can charge a portable battery bank. It's real usefull if I'm away from power longer than I have battery banks for. I use it when I go camping.

teh gatekepper that linus talked about in the last handytech video is something im after. pretty nifty device that when you along with said dongle walk away from wahetver computer youve inserted the usb into itll lock itself automatically. when you return itll unlock automatically. pretty cool if you ask me.

I have a little drawer in one of my 5.25" bays. I keep a few USB sticks and the tools I need to adjust my monitor stand in it. Probably the best $10 I ever spent!

 

Can't recall the exact one I have but this is pretty much the same thing:
