Bought 2 pairs of Brooks with army e dollah when I MR...wore 1 pair and the base sole came off a year later...took out the other pair and it came off less than 200m...😅

Oh...at that time he hadn't endorse any brand yet 😁

I use the asics saf. It managed to fix my foot pain issue I was getting with my nikes. It is pretty wear resistant also. For below 50 bucks, best buy.

Actually I think Cornell make good products at reasonable prices. I use quite a number of their products, and am quite happy to date.

Me too. Am not a runner. Hence, SAF track shoe is good enough for me. Cheap and lasting.

Those who need to carry phone, key, credit card along for their run, can try this running waist belt. I just placed an order.

Look for those which are 3000W or so with a double shell, metal parts inside (it's ok to have plastic outside).

One touch opening

Many brands many prices to suit different budgets..

I have 2nd thoughts about 3kW appliances. 230Vac x 13amp ~ 3kW.

You plug into a standard 13amp socket, and the wires are probably not thick enough.

Not much room for safety.

13A rated cables/circuits sure have some safety margins lah. Anything wrong the fuse will blow first, not the cable. Just go ahead and buy!

Ya good fuse 

my Kenwood kettles have been superb over the years 

I’ve used quite a few. They are used more than 20 times a day so despite the higher cost I’m very happy with them

Fuse has a tolerance for ratings, it may not blow exactly at 13A. And if you have cheap China made fuse, that's another question mark ?

I bought lots of automotive fuse from China, cheap and really cheap. When I look at the thickness of the fuse, they all seem to be the same, although they are marked with different number, 5A, 10A, 15A, 20A, 25A, 30A... how the hell do I know they are not all the same and simply marked with different numbers?

Unless I do destructive testing, I wouldn't know for sure. I ended up junking them and bought from more reputable brands... and pay more of coz.

In my kitchen, I had a 13A socket, the plastic which melted. I don't know what happened then. My mom might have plugged 2 heating appliances in the sockets at the same time.

Nowadays I'm more cautious.

yes i wear saf singlet at home everyday.

But the new SAF running shorts (the latest generation) did away with the pockets again. So it's kinda a pain in the ass esp when i want to carry some gloves (for hanging on pullup bar) or bringing plastic bags for my dog.

I tend to just tie my spare keys to the draw strings if present. 

Else I take a waist pouch... 😅

The melting could be due to some crawlies got in there and enjoyed free xray...aka electrocution...the spark causes a burn...aka immediate cremation...plastic socket as collateral...😅

i only know that ezbuy has never lost my stuff.

cainiao once lost a 100+ dollar shipment for me years ago which i wrote off. And if something is lost with cainiao, their CS support is absolute garbage.
