David Condon Finds

Always on the Lookout for Great Products on Amazon in 2025! Discover 50+ Great Amazon Products for 2025 – Personally Tested & Recommended If you're always hunting for clever and useful Amazon finds, you're in the right place. I’ve put together a growing list of top-rated products on Amazon in 2025 that I’ve either personally used, plan to buy, or had “enthusiastically suggested” by family members (yes, really 😅). Unlike many generic roundups, this is a curated guide of standout items that have genuinely improved my day-to-day life—at home, in the workshop, and everywhere in between. From must-have tools and gadgets to fun gift ideas for her (and him), there’s something here for just about everyone. This List Got Too Big! This post originally featured all 50+ products in one long scroll — but it got too big and slow to manage, especially for mobile visitors. It was also living on my main website, which probably wasn’t helping the woodcraft focus I’m aiming for there — so I’...

Hoping for a Miracle Let’s be honest — if you live with any kind of chronic pain, inflammation, or restless nights, you’ll try just about anything that might help. Tablets, snake oils, electronic devices, praying to your fairy godmother — anything to bring relief from what ails you. I’ve always been a bit sceptical of “miracle cures,” especially when they’re splashed all over social media ads promising to heal you overnight.  Before I go on: I have a series of posts on Peripheral Neuropathy if you'd like to read how I found relief after reading this post.

There’s nothing worse than reading product recommendations from someone who clearly has no real interest in what they’re writing about, or worse, when it’s obvious they’re only doing it because it’s part of their job. It always feels a bit disingenuous to me. So, I wanted to keep it real. In this post, I’m sharing a handful of products I bought with low expectations — things I wasn’t sure about at the time but now genuinely find hard to do without. And if you’re not on Amazon or Prime yet and want to know whether it’s worth joining before you start browsing, have a look at my post Is Amazon Prime Worth It? where I break down the actual benefits. Who Am I to be Giving Recommendations I run a small business built around woodturning but that’s just the beginning. My work also includes teaching one-on-one tuition, running tourist experiences here in Tralee, retailing tools and products I use myself, supplying craft materials, and producing my own range of handmade woodcraft.  Latel...

Beyond the Revitive Circulation Booster, I’ve experimented with several other approaches to ease foot pain and neuropathy symptoms, from specialist socks to, surprisingly, a grounding mat. None of this is medical advice; I’m simply sharing firsthand experience from living with neuropathy day to day. I’ve spent a good chunk of money testing things that might help, mostly out of desperation rather than curiosity. If I can spare you some of the trial and error, then it’s worth writing this. If you want to know exactly what’s worked for me, stick with me and I’ll explain everything step by step.

After writing my first blog post about the Revitive Circulation Booster, (link at the end if you missed it) I thought readers might like an honest update based on a year (and more) of living with Peripheral Neuropathy. It’s been a tough journey, and if you’ve landed here, maybe it has been for you too. I’ve added three updates in total (listed below), written at key intervals to reflect real life progress, slip-ups, and tips that may help. This updated version first appeared on my original blog at davidcondonwoodcraft.ie. (linked below) and has been split up and rewritten for an easier read.  

Have you ever taken off your Fitbit or other brand tracker and found an itchy red rash underneath? I have and not just once. I’ve owned three different Fitbit models over the years, and with each one I experienced sore, red & irritated skin. My latest one, the Fitbit Charge 6, I had the worst reaction yet. If you work out, the rashes are normally worse as soft skin gets damaged more easily.  I found a solution that worked but was labour intensive and then I finally found a simple, affordable solution and it turned out to be a third-party option and not one from Fitbit directly. I wanted to share how I solved the issue as it really is an annoying problem, especially if you bought the Fitbit to get healthier. To be Clear: This may also affect users of other fitness trackers and even regular watches , so if you've had a similar experience, read on.  If you like practical fixes and everyday gear that actually works — a bit like this Fitbit rash solution — you might enjoy 5 Am...

 Over the years, I’ve come across some truly invaluable tools and gadgets on Amazon. Items that have saved me time, effort, and the occasional headache in my own workshop.

 Military Books That Made it to the Big Screen  For most of my life I have been fascinated by all things Military and I have collected Movies, Magazine Publications, Books and now Kindle Books with Wars and Military Themes as subject matter. Even better, I loved to find out that a movie is based on a Military Book, from a real life event. That way, the movie didn't end at the title credits and offered me something more. When I was younger I couldn't wait for the next high production War movie to come out.
