  1. Been using S.S.”scrubbies”for 30 years in resturants-they flat out work,and last a long time.No rust like steel wool.
    Sometimes I see reports of trips to the ER from people ingesting metal from wire brushes used to clean the grates of a home BBQ grill.This eliminates that potential.Use it on a cold grate,or hold with tongs for a hot grill.

  2. I have been using an Olight S1 Baton for about 16 months and really like it. It is very small (just large enough to house one CR123) and very powerful (up to 500 lumens). I carry it daily and use it nearly every day. It is a side switch and you do have to double tap it to activate the brightest mode, but that hasn’t been a problem for me. Costs about $40-50 depending on options such as rechargeable, etc.

  3. A single strand of these stainless scrubbies is used as an electric ignitor wire, hooked via a long wire to a 12 v car battery, for launching large hand made bamboo black powder rockets in Thailand; these are shot in competitions with lots of betting. Those who fail are jeered, in a good natured way except for the losers of bets.

  5. About 15 years ago, the Estes model rocket company stopped selling their 10 pk of rocket motor ignitors at our lical Big Bx and only sell them with the motors,3 per pk of motors(also 3 in the pk).
    This limited folks from using them un other ways such as having a pressure plate activate a perimiter intrusion device.
    A stran if the SS wool screbber works quite well but it heats slower so activation of your device is a bit slower.
    Good subject.
