Capitalistic commercialism is at its best when looking for inexpensive crap that can be made more valuable using various means.
I could list a ton of stuff made special by a celebrity or a nice box, but whatever, I'm only quickly jotting down Plumber's tape varieties.
1. Don't call it "Plumber's tape" it's demeaning to the tape.
Thin white, thicker white (it's still only white)
Yellow. It's thicker (But don't use it on Oxygen tanks)
Green. Now we're talking cadillac-version plumber's tape PTFE.
It can be used on water, Gas lines and Oxygen.
I'm probably not done reading (we still have Mercedes, Ferrari and Lamborghini) but I thought this excerpt would make you smile; maybe not.
What I call (misnomerize) "Plumbers dope" has a much fancier name, and if I were in a store and rich as Croesus anyway, I'd buy tape and "Dope".
I don't know (the %$# name) if one is better than the other. Hang on, I have a pic somewhere.
So, you've gotcher *glue*, which this isn't, *putty* Which I'm not sure about, And *this stuff* above.
which is why most people just curse the darkness and buy tape.
https://www.hunker.com/13417145/pipe-dope-vs-teflon-tape is a site that explains it all, but I caution anyone reading this that not only haven't I read most of it, I don't even know if they're right or just selling something.
They seem to be politicians:
A huge plastic nut holding a faucet handle is probably much-much more delicate than the old-fashioned iron-steel variety, and it's not like I have any extra in a drawer,
so this project is ending much sooner than expected. (To be continued, eventually)
Instead of buying a faucet wrench, I used the money to buy syringes instead.
I can sort of understand (maybe) why amazon doesn't wanna get sued, so I can't buy from them.
Fucket, I found a half-priced version from a very conservative state (so there, amazon)
Now if my credit card isn't assimilated, I'm all set.
(maybe)
PS
oil to *loosen* that damned nut can be so expensive, you would not believe the price, and *I* would feel very stupid paying it.
Doesn't "bug spray" have "Petroleum distillates"? It's just laying there (in the can) waiting for me to kill a bug, and it is expensive too.
Fucket.
My sinister plot to take over the nut (without breaking it) using a bug-sprayed wrench or vise-grip, might not work, but the nut (a new one) is cheaper than a wrench, cheaper than oil.
Or I could call those-who-must-never-be-called (under penalty of having the rent raised.)
Would he notice my gnarly bathtub?
My excuse is, they send me a shitty-present every couple years, up the drain-pipe.
Window-shopping faucets in my price range ($200 or less)
I got bored with the disappointed reviews and started thinking up slogans.
You'll moan at a Moen.
You'll wanna put your fist through a Pfister.
American Standard (rofl) really low standards (lowered expectations, etc)

Let's talk about bum-wipes
Best reviewed: Charmin ultra soft (Did you know they make "Ultra strong?)
My angel wipe (waitasec) Angel-soft is not that soft, but it's strong.
Why is Charmin "Ultra strong?" I'm not constructing a building!
I'd like something with creamy softness like the Bum-lady talks about (Cottonelle?)
but reviews didn't like them, wait, I'll go back to my source:
It was (har-har) Number two.
What is all this about "Ultra strong"? My ass hurts thinking about it.

| Angel-soft cleans like shit...Maybe Charmin "Ultra strong" is better |
If your poo is like tar mixed with glue, Choose Ultra-strong! We wipe better.
( I doubt they'd use that in a commercial)
