Sometimes, someone will suggest buying a tool you did not want or really need that turns out to be, not indispensable but used more often than expected. My little buy was a watch repair kit. Really cheap but the number of batteries changed, links removed from bracelets and including several more gadgets I have yet to discover.
Not exactly Motorhome bits but I am not in there a lot just now.

Snap.
Bought one last week £3.99 as didn't have the tool to open the screw back on my wife's watch.

My son "used" to work at a watch repair centre so always had any of ours done free. Now had to bite the bullet and DIY 👍.

Use this in the Motorhome all the time, find it really useful. Joseph and Joesph only £10. Spoon, spatula, ladle with a serrated edge.

We bought one magnetic phone holder for the car, so useful we now have 8 of them and stuck discs on all tablets and phones. So easy to use.

Am tempted by the Joseph and Joseph shoe horn (apparently it's also a spatula, spoon and strainer).

With that many magnet holders though do you forget where you've stuck something? :giggle:

They are good but the only downside is that they will probably stop the NFC working for contactless payments

This one worked well for me holding both a tablet and phone although tablet needs careful positioning.

It's only a thin metal plate that fixes to the back of the phone so far not noticed any interference with GPay etc...

Where did you get that David?

It looks like a good space and rattle saving implement for the motorhome.

Cheers Neilfg (y)

Having read a few reviews on the jj 5 in 1 tool I think I'm going to hang fire till I've seen one or a few of you have tried one.

They seem to be the Marmite of kitchen utensils :laughing:

They are on amazon or direct from Joseph maison

We have two, one in the 'van and one at home. Brilliant space saving bit of kit, and as someone else pointed out, no rattles.

We're obviously learning new things in lock down. I've recently discovered changing watch batteries too. I'm on my 3rd watch, cannot get the back to push on. where did you get your watch tools?

Wish mine had a battery..... Went flat on me after 15 years..... Had to point it at the sun for a couple of days to recharge.

There is also available a press device with loads of different watch shapes. It always works from Amazon
