From the ridiculous but life-changing (as in, I was having to give up spicy foods--a serious life luxury since I was a kid that I was physically depressed about) ... it WORKS:
Prilosec saved my life, no ****. Since childhood I had constant severe heartburn. I started eating multiple rolls a day of maximum strength TUMS before I was even a teenager, it seemed like even water gave me heartburn. Nothing worked though. Not TUMS, not Rolaids, not Tagamet, not Pepcid, not Zantac. So I went to an ENT to get scoped. They said I had GERD, and I had ulcerations forming in my esophagus and stomach as a result, and that it could lead to Barrett's Esophagus and esophageal cancer. So he prescribed me Protonix. I had no insurance, so when I found out that at the time it was $360 a month, I never filled it and went back to the OTC stuff. Then Prilosec came along. It was a life changer. But I hated how you could only do a 2 week course every 3-4 months. So I went back to the ENT specialist, who wrote me a script for it. I asked why the OTC had the warning, and he was giving me a lifetime script for 40mg every day (twice the OTC strength), and he said because the FDA wouldn't allow them to label it for everyday use, because of people that take it that don't really need it. But he did tell me that if you get severe heartburn every single day, it is not only safe for everyday use, but that you can take up to 2 a day. So now I've been on 40mg every day for 4 years. It's great to forget what acid reflux feels like. And the reason it saved my life is because when I went for a checkup last year, he said the ulcerations have healed, and it's due to the Prilosec. Needless to say, I love the ****
These things saved me from the possibility of having a stroke.......
My fuel filter recently went bad on my Explorer, so like the multiple other filters I changed out over the years on my vehicles, I figured I could go get the filter and swap it out in a minute or so. NOPE. Ford had a better idea. I get under my truck, remove the clips, and the hoses will not budge. Rather than the usual rubber fuel line hoses, this thing had braided lines with metal spring loaded compression fittings. For a damn fuel filter.
So I went to Advance and asked if there was a special tool. They sold me some little round plastic things and said that's what I needed. They did nothing, and broke when I got so frustrated I tried forcing it to work. So I went to Pep Boys. They sold me some metal scissor looking things, said they were top notch. I get those home, and the metal on them is so thick I can't even force it into the end of the fittings, so they were useless. So I go to O'Reilly, and the guy told me about these things in the picture, but they don't sell them. He said to go to Harbor Freight Tools and they had them for around $10. So I went, and they did. I got home, tried them out, and less than 30 second later I had the new filter on. These little things are magic

The best part is, they come in various sizes (all included in the set), and work for all lines on all cars - A/C, Heating, Fuel, etc.
I picked up one of these sexy bastards last weekend with a gift card I got for Christmas. I didn't install the gas mechanism on mine though, mainly because I don't have a vagina and hardwood is the only thing I smoke meat with. I did a 6 pound Boston Butt in it for 24 hours. Waking up multiple times throughout the night sucked worse than expected, but the end result was worth it.
