Cheap TatOneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."
Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.
What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

Tesco Value - Garlic pressOver Xmas I needed to squish some garlic for a meal and thinking ahead bought a garlic press while at Tesco for about £2.
When it came time to use it I inserted a modest sized clove of garlic in the "basket" bit and squeezed the handle.
Only to watch first the basket and then the handle bend like they were made from coke cans.
I've either got super-garlic thats stronger than metal or the worlds only garlic press thats too weak to crush garlic.

Never use a garlic pressMuch better to squash the clove with a knife first and then chop it finely.
Garlic presses are crap and hard to wash.
