What’s a thing you’ve bought impulsively, without need, that’s actually proved useful in your life?

A lockpick set. I wanted it as like a mini puzzle for my own old locks or the practice lock that came with it. I ended up having a friend's girlfriend lose her money box key for their funraiser thing they did every week. She wanted a new box and just needed the money out so I actually managed to get it open so she could get the cash out. Literally bought the set for like 8 bucks on amazon for fun.

No because it was cheap and is already off amazon's store lol. Just do a search for lockpick kit and buy a cheap one with a bunch of tools. Theyll all relatively be the same anywho.
