Six of the seventeen with a cord give a length.

Every title gives a range, up to 255 psi, and a car's figure sits low in all of them. Only two listings print an accuracy, and both are the step the screen moves in rather than how close the reading is. One sold as a digital LCD is an analogue dial in every photograph.

Seven run from a USB plug, eight from a box of AA cells, seven from button cells and one from a European mains plug.

Fifteen titles say large, big or jumbo. Ten listings give a size somewhere, nearly all of them in a photograph, and the sizes run from 3.5cm to 13cm. One titled large and for thick hair measures 3.5cm in its own picture, and two of the seventeen are not claw clips at all.

One folding chrome loupe with a 21mm lens is sold under seven listings, and six of them show it stamped 10X, 20X and 30X on the same body. Diamonds are graded at 10x, a stronger lens has to be held closer and shows a smaller circle, and triplet, stamped on most of them, is the word worth looking for.

Every listing that explains its smiley face draws the happy band at 40 to 70 per cent, which runs right up to the level where mould becomes likely. Three give an accuracy, and the best of them is plus or minus 5 per cent. Two of the nineteen do not measure humidity at all.

Thirteen give a pull force somewhere, and for the same size the figures do not agree: four listings rate a 32mm magnet at 9kg, 16kg, 32kg and 36 with no unit. Every figure is measured flat against thick steel, which is not what lies at the bottom of a canal, and the Canal & River Trust does not allow magnet fishing on its waterways.

Eighteen titles say oily, which is the right paint for glass, metal and plastic. One is a water based acrylic marker for card and craft work, and one listing sold as an oily marker is a white gel pen that will only write on paper. Only eight titles give the tip size, which decides more than anything else.

Twenty titles say nano, and underneath are four different tapes: a clear gel, a grey or black foam, a thin clear film and a mesh. Not one title says what it will hold, and three listings say in a photograph that their tape is not for a painted wall.

Fifteen show or name magnets, which only hold on a steel panel. Ten titles name a car maker, and the photographs show the same cover sold under several of those names at different prices. About half give a size, and two are not frost covers at all but foil sun shades for the inside of the glass.

No title gives a length, nineteen photographs do, and every one of the nineteen is between 129.85 and 135mm, which is right for a bike with trigger shifters and too long for one with a twist shifter. The rest of the decision is one lock ring or two, and rubber, foam or leather.

Twenty one titles say quick dry and twenty one say barefoot, so neither word decides anything. Underneath they are two different things, a thin sock with a rubber sole and a laced shoe with a lugged one. No title gives a size, three galleries print a chart in centimetres, and the two charts disagree by up to 1.8cm for the same size label.

Twenty titles say undercoat, and underneath the word are five different tools: blades that cut through mats, pins that pull loose undercoat, a fine steel edge, a slicker and a comb. Which one you want depends on your dog's or cat's coat, and no title asks. Two listings count their teeth, and they label the two sides opposite ways round. For mats, the two sided rakeThe only one that counts its teeth the conventional wayFor a thick double coat, a rake that does not cutFor a short double coat, the fine edgeA plain slicker, for every day and for single coatsFor a cat, the paw shaped comb from £3.87read 18 Oct 2026 Buying guide Luggage & Bags 27 Sept 2026 Luggage scales, twenty one listings, nine designs, and the reading has to hold Twenty one digital luggage scales from one search, about nine designs underneath, one of them sold under nine different listings. Every one reaches at least 40kg, so the capacity on the title decides nothing. What decides it is whether the number stays on the screen after you put the case down, and eight listings say so, all in a photograph and none in a title.

Not one title says how tall a bag is, and height is the whole question, because a large phone stands about 16cm. Fifteen listings print a height in a photograph, three say which phone fits in inches, and five are something else entirely, from a sling backpack to a leather shoulder harness.

All twenty titles say clipper, eight say thick nails, and none gives a size. Seven listings put a jaw measurement in a photograph, and they are measuring two different things: how wide the blade is, and how far the jaws part. Only the second tells you whether a thick nail fits, and three listings give it. Best overall, and the widest blade anyone measuresFor toenails, the angled oneThe ordinary one, in two sizesSmall, black and folds flatThe whole kit, in a caseIf it was cuticles you meant from £2.30read 18 Oct 2026 Buying guide Home & Garden 25 Sept 2026 Ice cube trays, the grid count is the cube size backwards Sixteen silicone ice cube trays. Half put a grid count in the title, from 14 to 104, and not one title says how big a cube is. The trays are all roughly the size of a freezer shelf, so the count tells you the cube size in reverse. One listing prints the cube itself in a photograph, and four of the sixteen are not ice trays at all.

Every title says memory foam and every title says ergonomic, so neither word tells you anything. No title gives a size.

Every title says long, only eight give a length, and the lengths they give run from a 10cm pocket horn to a 70cm walking stick.

Nineteen retract, every one prints a length, and exactly one title says how heavy a dog it is rated for.

Ten titles say which valves they fit and ten say nothing at all, with not a single one naming only one. Nine print a pressure and three have a gauge to read it with.

The wavelength is the whole decision and for once most sellers print it, but five of the twenty leave it out and one claims both numbers at the same time. A single LED cannot do both.
