The Stuffs Review

Background Back in the days when I was cycling regularly, I was always trying to reduce items and go light every time I go for a ride. One of the items was a bicycle hand pump. I feel that it should be small and light enough so that it can fit into my cycling jersey's back pockets, and my tool storage bottle, if I am bringing only one water bottle along.  One day I was walking around bicycle shops and found the Syncros HP Micro Pump. It was by far the smallest I have found. I decided to do some research online before buying it to see if there are any smaller pumps out there. I wasn't able to find others at that point in time and as such, I went back to the shop and purchase the pump. The Stuff The Syncros HP Micro Pump can only be used for Presta valves. It measures 13.3cm in length. It has a level to lock and unlock the valve when attaching it. Here are some of the pictures that I've taken to show how the pump looks like: The Syncros HP Micro Pump The pump fully extended w

Background Back in September and October 2019, I was looking for a packable backpack that I can use as a daily backpack during my travels. I looked online and found the Adidas packable backpack. I love the black and simple look of it and decided to purchase it at ASOS. The Stuff The Adidas Packable Backpack came in a very simple packaging - just the packable backpack in its packed form itself. According to the Adidas Singapore website, the specifications are as follows: Dimensions: 13 cm x 30 cm x 44 cm Volume: 24 L 100% nylon ripstop Front zip pocket Padded adjustable shoulder straps Packs into an inner pocket Product Code: ED8013 Here are some of the pictures I have taken on the packable backpack itself: The Adidas Packable Backpack in its packed form Front of the backpack after unpacking Back of the backpack after unpacking From the picture, it looks sad when it's unpacked into a backpack form.

Background Back in 2014, I saw an interesting tool called the Wallet Ninja online. It is a card-size multi-tool that has many functions. It is not an expensive item and as such, I bought one from Qoo10. The Stuff As mentioned, the Wallet Ninja is a size of a card (like your credit card). It is made of steel, like those handyman tools which are very solid. Currently, there are a few versions I found online, namely the Classic, 2.0, and Pro. Mine is the Classic version so here are some pictures of the one that I have. Wallet Ninja Wallet Ninja size as compared to a card As seen in the picture, you can see that the Wallet Ninja has tools like a bottle and can opener, box opener, letter opener, screwdrivers, etc. Since it is flat, it does not come with a Philips head screwdriver. Usage I used th

Background I bought the Mi 10 Pro Global edition phone in Mid May 2020. When it arrived, the contents of the phone came with a casing. I tried the casing onto the phone but I feel that it needed a bit more protection, as I tend to be clumsy and my phone tends to get knocked or dropped. As such, I went online to search for one and decided to get the Spigen Rugged Armor case from Qoo10. I had use Spigen's rugged case before, on my OnePlus 3 and Huawei P10 Plus. It is the same design hence I have faith in this case :) The Stuff The Spigen Rugged Armor Case came just 2 days after I ordered, as there is a Spigen official store from Qoo10 in Singapore. The standard rugged armor case comes in black and the Spigen Singapore website describes the following features: Signature carbon fiber look w

Background Back in 2019 I was looking at some Xiaomi products and came across the Xiaomi Mijia 0.5mm sign pen. After reading and watching some reviews online I decided to get one from Xiaomi physical stall to try. The Stuff The Xiaomi Mijia 0.5mm sign pen is white in color, and it comes with black ink. To use the pen all you need to do is to turn the top of the pen clockwise to unveil the pen tip. Turn the top of the pen anti-clockwise to hide the pen tip. If you run out of ink, you can purchase the pen refill which comes in a 3 pcs pack. Here are some of the pictures of the pen that I have taken: The Xiaomi Mijia 0.5mm sign pen The clip of the pen showing the Mijia logo Stripping of the pen showing 3 parts, the bottom, the pen ink which can be replaced and the clip part Usage I bought the Xiaomi Mijia 0.5mm sign pen more than a year ago, and I have yet to replace the pen ink. If you run out of ink and want to replace the ink, all you need to do is to strip the pen and replace the pen

Background Back in January 2020, I was looking for a more compact design foldable hanger to replace the existing one for travel. As usual, I did my search online and it led me to one design which I eventually bought a couple of them from Aliexpress. The Stuff Usually, the things that I ordered from Aliexpress takes awhile to arrive. I'm not in a hurry, so there's no issue for me in the long wait. The foldable hanger took almost a month or so to arrived. It is made of plastic and comes with 4 clips in the hanger itself. The measurements I took are as follows: Folded: 15.6cm by 5.2cm Open (Hanger): 31cm by 10.7cm Here are some pictures of the foldable hanger: Foldable hanger in the folded position Foldable hanger in the opened position Foldable hanger opened with clips opened Close up view of the clip Hanging a jacket using the foldable hanger Usage I have not been travelling since I bought the foldable hanger, but I am still able to use it to hang some clothes at home, like the

Background Back in November 2019, I was looking for a black, smaller, slimmer profile and minimalist wallet to replace my existing one which is big and bulky. The search online lead me to a few wallets which I shortlisted. Eventually, I decided on the Commes des Garcons sa3100 half-zip wallet which I bought from Farfetch. The Stuff The Commes des Garcons sa3100 half-zip wallet came in a week after I made the order. The dimension of the wallet measured about 11cm by 9.5cm with a depth of about 1.4cm. The wallet is made in Spain, and it is made of leather with a trusty YKK zipper and 3 compartments inside. It is very similar to most minimalist half-zip wallets.
