Useful desklamp
For years I have had a similar device on my desk, albeit with a fluorescent light ring providing the illumination, but the mains switch broke and I was unable to source a suitable replacement.
This lamp was essentially similar in concept, but with a ring of LEDs providing the illumination, which produce a rather cold light with a strange blue cast. The 10x magnfication spot, although adequate was not quite up to the same standard as that of the much older model, and yet they look identical in construction, and the difference may simply be attributable to the light..
Beyond that the lamp is reasonably well made, with only a few easily addressed rough edges around the base worth mentioning as spoiling the overall standard.
With a warmer light character from the LEDs, this would have rated at least another star, but for the price, it is still a good buy.

Still the best
Some years ago I used to successfully show classic cars in concours condition. Autoglym was always the polish of choice for its fine results and ease of application. I now live in the Eastern Mediterranean area, where the weather can be relentlessly hot and this polish not only keeps the cars in great order and able to cope with the climate, but it is easy to apply and polish off the residue even in hot direct sunlight.
This particular product comes with the added bonuses of an applicator pad and a polishing cloth, both of which enhance the product, but as it is not especially kind to the skin, I recommend wearing rubber gloves while using the applicator.
Although it may not apply to UK buyers, the price from this supplier, even with the carriage costs included, is still notably cheaper than the same product available locally.

A shredding revelation
When yet another relatively inexpensive cross cut shredder failed after what seemed a relatively short time, I felt that it was time to get something a little more substantial. After some study on the internet, this Fellowes Powershred device seemed to receive more than its fair share of accolades.
Frankly I was not expecting much, and was more than a little surprised when I went to collect it from the Post Office, as the postie laboured to drag it from the sorting office in a huge sack, like Santa at the start of his Christmas rounds. I was told that this was how it had arrived from Germany as the flimsy Amazon carton it was packed in was damaged. This was clearly far more substantial a device than I had expected.
The unit was much better packed in the manufacturer's packing and was quickly unwrapped and assembled. It even comes with a phial of oil to lubricate the blades (recommended each time the container is emptied).
This device is a magnitude better than the popular (and yes cheaper) models sold for home office use, and quickly chomped through large swathes of paper that had accumulated since the last shredder failed.
It is difficult to overload, as it switches off when pushed to excess and has indicator lights to suggest when it is nearing capacity. It turns off when it overheats or when the container is full. Half an hour of quietly chomping through 12 sheets of A4 at a time will cause it to overheat and stop. Leave it for half an hour and you can start over. It will shred a surprising amount of paper in half an hour.
The receptacle needs to be emptied frequently as it quickly fills, but a much larger receptacle would make the disposal of the shredded paper less manageable, so it's a fair compromise between size and performance.
The device makes short work of old credit cards, turning them into small shards of plastic confetti. It does the same with old data CD/DVD discs, though I have little use for that, and the bits go in the same receptacle as the paper, which is less convenient for recycling, but it's good to know that it will dispose of such discs.
The only negative is that it comes with a few polythene bags, which are too large to line the receptacle and two small to cope with the workload. I discarded them in favour of larger paper recycling bags from the local supermarket.
This is an outstanding device. Let's hope it proves to have a long and hard working life.
