The three you reach for without thinking about them. A squeezer reinforced at the joint where cheaper presses give out, a watering can with a spout narrow enough to water the plant instead of the windowsill, and a plant stand that comes with a pot that fits it.
None of them is a gadget. All three are the kind of thing you use and then stop noticing, which is the point.
An everyday tool is judged on the fiftieth use rather than the first. That sounds obvious and it changes what you build. A press that feels solid in the shop and splays at the pivot after a season has failed the only test that counts. A watering can with a wide spout is fine once and a nuisance every week after.
So the choices here are boring on purpose. Full stainless with extra material at the pivot rather than a thinner press with a nicer finish. A narrow spout that reaches under leaves rather than a wide one that pours faster. A tripod sold with its own pot rather than a stand you then have to measure for.
The lemon squeezer is the one with the lifetime guarantee, and it is the only piece we make that carries one. The reason is in why your lemon squeezer bends, which also sets out what to check on any press before buying it, including ours.
