Reminds me that I need to order more straws to keep in the car as I am getting quite low on them.

This convenient Bat utility belt:

Essentially an electrician's tool belt but a fraction of the price, with attachments for pliers, wire strippers, multimeter, drill, crimps, screws, cable roll, duct tape, etc.

Does it fit? I ordered one and its either for children or something. No sizes listed so I assumed it would go to normal sizes, but noooo.

Yup, it's a double belt with velcro on the two sides so you can separate them and make it as long or short as you like.  Note that this one is sold as a separate belt that's a bit more substantial than the bundle of belt + bag they also sell, so it's this rather than this.

We have reusable washable stainless steel ones.

In the USA, we had interesting enough edible ones, they did not go soft in use but you could eat them afterwards.

Do you all have the same problem, or a solution ?

This hose-end water meter (presumably to distinguish it from a bell-end water meter):

It's pretty impressive, it's just sold as the usual generic thing but it's actually made for this established US company (and presumably European as well since I got one with BSP fittings and set for litres).  Came with clear English instructions and spare gaskets and thread tape, and it's already paid for itself.  I'd run a weeper hose around the ferns and covered it in mulch to keep them watered during the summer, it ran for a few minutes and then stalled.  Without the data from the meter I'd probably have ended up digging up the whole thing to find the problem, turns out a weta had crawled into the connecting hose at some point and died, and was blocking most of the flow.  After removing it it ran again for a bit and stalled, this time it was the lack of water pressure, it seems you need quite a bit of pressure to force the water out through the pores and simply opening the tap a bit wasn't enough to keep it running beyond the initial flow.  Even with the tap fully open (on a 2000L tank) the flow isn't very high, the meter is showing it but it's not obvious from the hose itself.

I don't know how much work diagnosing the issue this has just saved me.

 

700psi sounds more like the output of a waterblaster, as that is almost 5000kpa. you sure you didn't mean 700kPa which is a quite normal pressure?

concordnz: Does the book tell you what water pressure that one can handle? I brought similar from Bunnings, but my high water pressure of 700psi fulled the electronics with water and it soon stopped working.

The linked web page says 0.5 - 8 bar, which is 7 - 116 psi (for some reason they don't give cubits per furlong or whatever other medieval measures they use there).  However if you've got 700psi of water pressure then you've either got half a kilometre or water above you (that's beyond the crush depth of most submarines so not surprising a plastic water meter died) or there's an error in the units.
