Oh my gosh... well, I suppose if you have to much pectin in the jelly, maybe.

I use honey, myself.

Interesting...that plow for the rear hitch might actually work for me. I don’t really need a full size plow...just need to move the heavy crap the snow plow dumped at the end of my driveway.

The ambihelical hexnut - you have to screw it all the way on before you can screw it off; when you reach the end of the thread just keep screwing in the same direction and it will unscrew.

I love the thing for the circular saw. I am definitely going to buy one, since I’m fond of my fingers.

I wish I had a photo of it but my favorite tool that I designed was pretty brutal.

I needed to make a very specif cut on a piece of trim wood so I borrowed my neighbors 8” disk sander, removed the disk and put a circular saw blade on it.

It looked like it would have worked great in a horror movie. Cut the trim well too, but ended up destroying the sander.
