It’s an old phrase” she/he/it’s the best thing since sliced bread.”

The best thing since sliced bread that I own is a Fein power tool.

What’s the best thing since sliced bread in your opinion? (Whether you own one or not) 🙂

    As a sort of evolution of the phrase, I think the best thing since sliced bread is sliced bagels :)  Even though sliced bagels is in fact sliced bread. Did they have bagels back then though? Maybe not :)

    My Swiss Army knife.

    I use at least one of the tools on it every day. Mostly the screw drivers, the bottle opener, the scissors and the tweezers.

    I suppose it could even even slice bread if push came to shove.

    What sort of price are those Swiss Army knives @66Mustang, they’ve always sounded so useful I think I might get one one day?

    @leeCal they are very useful! The price depends on the size of the knife and the amount of tools on it - I believe you can get a small knife with just a blade for under £10 all the way into the hundreds for large knives with dozens of tools but IMO one of those is just a novelty and too big to carry around and use every day.

    Mine has about 15 tools and cost around £40.

    Here is their site with all of the current offerings.

    They do last a very long time, IMO one of the rare products that’s built to last a lifetime these days.

    @woodbine I really like watches and clocks, as much as cars in fact, I would love to see them if you are willing to share a picture. I think I asked before but don’t remember seeing a picture so apologies if you already did share and I missed it. If they are private to you and you don’t want to share that’s fine as well.
