View Full Version : most useless kit ever seen on the market
hey guys just a funny idea i had
just a place to post pics and discuss the most useless pieces of kit anyone has ever seen.

this could be quite interesting
:D
;)
:confused:

You mean those really expensive, incredibly comfortable, sure as a mountain goat grip, ergonomically great for your feet and your balance, breathable ones ?
Folks who own them love them :D :dunno:

I knew you'd be defending them! I have to agree. Massive clumpy over-engineered boots would be my contribution!

Cushions. What is it with cushions? Pointless, but every woman has insisted on buying me cushions. What do we do when we sit on a sofa..... move the cushion out of the way. What is the point!!!?

These super cheap survival knives with a plastic hollow handle held on by a nut, had one when I was about 13 and broke after a few hours use. Still don't understand why people stock these in survival/surplus shops, I would be embarrassed to sell them.

now that would be handy to place one spud in my stove...I bet its pricey though
hope you didn't buy it, don't think it would even be any good as a fishing weight, but you could use it as a lure.
I reckon most led torches are pretty crap, the area they illuminate is too narrow,you have to be ontop of what your looking at to see it and if you look into the beam you burn the back of your brain.
that axe looks completely useless and very fragile
the spud thing is just about understandable although
one mans rubbish is another mans treasure !!!

I've bought some allegedly waterproof footwear in the past that have been as water resistant as a colander, the prize going to a pair of Cotton Traders "waterproof mountian boots" that leaked on first use, and parted company with the sole in under a week. I might as well have bought some flip-flops.
And what is the appeal of flip-flops anyway?! Footwear that barely stays on, wears out after about an hour, provides no support at all, and gives everyone a glorious view of your disgusting feet. No thanks.

About the same size, but at least this one has more of its volume 'available for use' :lmao: - the usable volume (think stews and brews) of the first is about half a pint :yikes:

Flip Flops? A Billion or so tropical inhabitants would have to disagree with your damning assessment!
The more you wear the the less disgusting your feet may become as the toes get some stretching and air circulating around them.

The stupidist thing for sale? Electrically pumped anti bacterial soap dispensers. Shown on TV cos you might pick up bacteria from a soap dispenser!
Even granting this to be true....what do you do after touching said dispenser? Oh yes, wash your hands with anti bacterial soap!! This in fact is the entire fecking point of touching the soap dispenser - because you plan to wash your hands immediately!
WTF?

I've seen them (they are an old Silva product), and I've been considering buying one. Mostly for playing tricks on other peoples brains, of course. But imagine being blind. How many of the navigational cues that you use are now available? Still hard to imagine many applictions for it
Only 2% of blind people can't see.
ok i mean what are the chances of a blind(visually impaired) person navigating

Oh Don't get me started on the 'advertising man' I can't abide by their whole 'profit from fear policy' AAAAARRRRGGHH!!!!!

I used to work for a hand hygene equipt manufature in the design dept we has a guy try and sell us his idea (which he was trying to patent ) for a push door handle that squirted your hand with anti bac as you pushed ;)
and yes we did make units that did soap water and hot air dry all on sensor (you have probably shouted at em in Mc Donalds :D )
I hate public loos. I don't mind dirt (see sig line) but human filth is repulsive.
I like the no touch flush/ wash/ dry thingies :)
Not for the house though; but public places, yes, I think they're a good thing.

They control the amount of soap that gets squirted out. This means that it can overdo the portion control so it runs out a bit quicker and needs replacing more frequently.
As said though, totally pointless if you've just washed your hands.

Sporks. I don't understand them.
Klingon like knives.
I saw one the other day that looked like a Freddy Krueger meets Worf creation. Great if you're culling teenagers in a haunted house but not so good if you need to whittle a wood spirit on a branch round the campfire one night.
I'm with you about public loos and door handles. I take a bit of toilet paper with me and use that as a "glove" to open the door, gives me the creeps thinking who might have gone out before me and didn't wash their hands. Not OCD about it but like Toddy says some things are best avoided if pos'.
Another thing that's totally useless in my opinion. Pound shop tools. Llike socket sets, saws, screwdriver bits, you know they're going to be shyte but the temptation to buy them is always there since they're so cheap. Granted cheap tools are sometimes good but there's a limit to what you'd expect to pay balenced against qaulity.
Another thing that annoys me is unecessary signage. "Danger cliff ahead" well duh! That bit drop there to the jagged rocks in the sea below certainly got my attention long before the posted sign did. Or "Beware of trains" at level crossings and "stop when red light flashes".
Sometimes I think the signs like this should be removed and anyone who falls off cliffs or gets hit by a sneaky train them should be thanked for their withdrawal from the gene pool.
Harsh?
Not harsh, I am a firm beliver in natural selction in a Darwin awards style.

no the ones in places like that i think are 'OK' as they are touchless...not for the hygeine issue but because they are less prone to fatigue initiated by use/abuse of the general morons...er...public.
it's the 'If you have a bacteria in your house you will be responsible for the deaths of every child in history' or 'use our product to avoid instant death' kind of approach I have an issue with....i'm pretty sure most cleansers claim to kill 99.9% of bacteria...and they have for as long as i can remember, so i have no idea what improvments the new product have over the last....

deffo signage! i think some of the signs in use are utter rubbish, i once saw one that said 'Blind people this way' with an arrow showing direction, it was huge as well, kinda like when english people shout at foreign people in an aid to be better understood, it was like the sign needed to be as big as possible to get the message across! also it was next to a road, very scary thought!
i know it was for people being taken to wherever the destination was but, can you imagine being the sign-maker and getting that job. ceh?

I once saw a programme on TV that two presenters used a series of toothbrushes then left them in various locations in a room set up as a typical bathroom. They then tested the toothbrushes for fecal matter (****e to you and me). Anyway theey found all of them had it in some degree and the brushes left on top of thee toilet weren't the ones with the highest levels!!
I liked the one that said "Goat eggs for sale, $1.50 a dozen".
Or the one that said "This sign is not in use".

A mate of mine really hates grammatically incorrect signage. Visible from a major motorway is a JCB warehouse with the logo "world parts centre". My buddy called in and requested a continent and a brace of fjords
Most "useless kit" is invariably good for a laugh though...
'Combat sunglasses' with unbreakable camouflaged frames..That's what the advert said.... They also had mirror reflective lenses I noticed...:lmao:

After reading the insructions i think it's a brilliant idea, as it says visually impared, all joking aside are there braillle maps?

If they make braille maps then night navigation would be a thing to invest in but you'd need to sell your shares in torches. Think of the possibilities though: stealth map reading! Ninja navigation!! I wonder if they come in anti-radar reflective covering? That big flat area's gonna make a pretty big blip on the radar.
Just wondering though. If they make braille maps then how would the user know which bit of grass he has under his fingertips at a particular time in realtion to that shown on the map? Maybe the sheep ate that bit of grass that day and the map maker didn't take that into account. What's the difference between that stream and this stream and would the map show the difference accurately for the blind outdoorsman?
Searching questions which I'm sure there are answers for ... somewhere.
I think i've been rumbled:p
Joking is never, NEVER aside.
Not only the most useless piece of kit but has to rank among the longest running:-

Toddy is closest with a bread steamer but I like the bridge idea too.
Meant to be a camping toaster but all it actually achieves is to turn fresh bread into stale bread in about 10 mins.
They must have sold thousands of them over the years.
btw... Anyone wanting a toaster to use on a gas stove should look for this type:-

Yup, I'd bet that'd even make a possum react! I'm wincing just thinking about it.
While on the subject of Sporks though, it does spring to mind another useless eating utensil Chopsticks. Granted, there are a lot of south east Asian countries that use them expertly, but in the hands of your avearage westerner the only thing they're good for is getting your lap covered in noodles.

Chopsticks are great, for pre-cut food, like most asian dishes. A really useless thing on the table is the table knife, you can't really cut with it anyway. The grill/meat variety is okay, but still I prefer the thai-way with a fork and a spoon. Eating is not about enjoying yourself, it's about shuffling in nutrition into your system.
