While we all wait to find out what the upcoming effect is – Ok, perhaps the upcoming – will be at the prices of tariffs, some of us are making mental list of some of the things that we may need, hopefully, hope that banks will not demand the loan to be cheaper.
Last year, we asked staff members here Ruckus Whether they have a favorite item, which costs $ 50 or less. This year, because things are getting more expensive, we thought of increasing the border to $ 75, but it turns out that our employees have a good instinct to find great, low -cost technical gadgets, cooking gear, tool kits and other items, which not only suck, but really good for themselves. With any luck, they will be $ 50 or less – for now, at any rate.
As long as they work properly well, I have a tendency to catch on my phone, and although I must accept that I have been wooed by Pixel 9A, I will probably still use my Pixel 6 a little longer. The only issue that I am starting to hit is battery life – after the use of more than three years, it is not unexpected that I will sometimes kill a 20 percent mark at the end of the day. So I recently realized that I would have to start taking around a portable charger.
First of all, I was going to go with it 20,000mAh anchor Zolo Power BankWho received a good number of recommendations. But its weight is more than 11 ounces and when I dropped it in my bag, it felt as if I had added a small brick. So I traded it for less powerful but very light Anchor nano power bankWhich plugs into my phone’s USB-C slot like a small ad-on peripheral. Nano weighs only 3.5 ounces and supplies 5,000mAh battery power – I have enough to go to the end of the day. And it comes in many light colors (I chose ice lake blue), which means that I can see it more easily in the dark reach of my bag. – Barbara Crasnoff, Review Editor
I spent the better part of a decade with a small credit card, debit card and an ID with a small stand with a small stash of cash in an attempt to find a handful of slim minimalist wallets. The winner, whom I am taking every day close to eight years, Magpul’s robberyIt is made of a reinforced polymer fabric with welded seams that make it effectively durable. It is also an anti-slip texture that I think adds an extra grip so that I can easily remove it from a tight pocket. I finished buying three, so I had a backup when it eventually wore out, but still using the original with minimal wear and tears. , Andrew Lisevsky, Senior Reporter
The composition of my body has become about 70 percent eggs in a happy month because I have bought this cooker. I never want to buy new countertop kitchen equipment, because almost every time I do, they are dusty behind the cabinet, but I am surprised to this simple how useful it is. Hamilton Beach Egg Cooker Is. I can prepare hard-oriented eggs for correct stability in minutes (without cleaning!), And it is dramatically cut back to the habit of my bacon, eggs and cheese sandwich by being on hand. So it is good for my cholesterol and my bank account. , Cryston Radtke, Creative Director
My Toto Toling Station Spending a few years to collect dust, but I finally pulled it out of the closet when I started experimenting with repairing the game console. this can not be happening Yerewan Or one VellerBut for $ 55, this work is completed. The station is perfect for beginners like me, as it is heated up to 842 degrees Fahrenheit, comes with many interchangeable soldering suggestions, is steel wool for cleaning, and an easy rack to keep a spool of solder. So far, it has helped me do things such as mixing an HDMI port on PS4 and installing new batteries on the old game boy game. I hope that it is also going to be useful for many future repairs. , Emma Roth, News Author
Sound pocket Certainly I never have the best -looking Bluetooth speaker, but it is currently what I arrive first. The reason for this is very simple: it’s just so Small It is actually a pocket-size speaker, which is enough compact to take my jeans or tuck in the smallest bag of my backpack, to strap it out in a pinch at one end with a silicon loop. It rarely saves booming bass, but it seems better than my phone, and it is small and light that I can always justify packing it. This is only about one thing that I guarantee that I travel wherever I travel. , Dominic Preston, News Editor
When I would die in the middle of a game, I used to buy AA battery in bulk to keep on hand. (And because I have two children.) I opposed the suggestions of my friends to buy a rechargeable battery, which my parents had an older people with a big, heavy charging box, who took it forever. But then one night I came across $ 30 paleblue USB-C rechargeable batteryThey are great. Whenever you need to make them juice, plug them into the USB-C source using the included wire. They walk for a long time so that I do not continuously take them out. And I can charge all four at once. I have four-packs, but also have eight-packs and 12-packs, which can be even easier. – Tod Hasselton, Deputy Editor
It is a strong stainless steel water bottle that keeps the water cool as a sip during its workday. What more could you ask for? I also take it on trips, and when it has received some dent from a few drops on the concrete, I don’t really care. If anything, the dent adds some character and makes it mine.

My partner and I was coming back from dinner with a friend on the second night, and as soon as the bus got away, he suddenly realized that his wallet was no longer in his back pocket. We called the MTA the next day, and through some miracles, the wallet was found, and we were able to drive and take it at the local bus depot. But it happened to me that if there was a tracker in his wallet, we might not have been worried where it was. The next day, I ordered a tile slim for that wallet.
I am actually using tile trackers for my own keys and wallets for a few years (although they are thankful to detect the incorrect items done in our house). So the MTAs were as good as people – and they were really good – hopefully, my partner’s new tile slim will ensure that this is our last visit. , Barbara Crasnoff, Review Editor
Two years ago, Ruckus Managing Editor Alex Crange recommended this small accurate screwdriver, spider and twiser set in our under-$ 50 gift guide. I did not need one at all; My Ifixit mako 64-bit kit Was and still getting stronger. But at $ 25, I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” I was blown away. This is actually an unprecedented selection of up-to-high devices for an excellent value.
I like small, in front of the huge accurate driver. This is often the first thing I arrive when opening the gadget, because there is no need to deal with unnecessarily long screwdriver shaft between your torque-generating hand and your fastener. It squeezes its disgusting grip more naturally with my fingers instead of my palm, while the extra diameter gives me a little more leverage than Effixit Maco, which comes in the easy swapping parts in my PC.
The three -inch long reach Bits Nerf Blasters or Dyson Vacuum is also great for a deep sauced screw. For me, it requires a pair of game-corridge-opening gamebits to make it only a full set, as well as perhaps a SIM card opener and a magnetic screw retrieval tool. , Scene Hallister, Senior Editor
I can’t help, but every time I listen to “Royal Clug”, laugh, but it is really the best folding Bluetooth keyboard I have used so far-because it is the only multi-device keyboard that I have tried that does not fall from my lap! It is also Mechanical Keyboard with swapable kicap, but it is just cherry at the top. For me, the important bits are that it is easy to type, I can swap between many Bluetooth devices instead of pairing, whenever Bluetooth will not work, I can plug it with USB-C, and it spreads when it bends both my legs. Steep Horizontally, so it does not just fall into the gap between my feet as many rival.
In fact, there are not many multi-device wireless/wireless hybrid keyboards, which are out of the USB-C port. It is a chunker compared to the competition, but at $ 55 it is a great deal. , Scene Hallister, Senior Editor
