The boilies slicer works well tbf...
I bought a granite sandwich thing and the handles melted. I have never really like ridgemonkey tbh as an overall brand just a bit naff

Only ever had two items.

Got the compact toastie maker, the ones where the handles clip on/off and it's done well over the last few years. The way the handles and utensils fit in the inner and the neoprene cover make it compact to store 👍

Also got the 10 litre water container. The tap leaked from new 👎

So two items and 50% success or failure rate depending how you look at it

Their Ape-X hooks seem decent. I recently got one of the compact buckets with the insert for short sessions, which I really like.

I bought the "10 litre water container" years ago, it leaked from around the large filler cap, the only way to stop it was screw it down as tight as possible. Problem was, when it came to refilling it, it was far harder to try and screw the cap off than screw it down tight to stop it leaking.

GOOD
Power Packs: Had the original black one for years, still going strong
Headtorch: Like the design. It swivels up/down and on/off on top/bottom so you can put it on either way in the dark and the buttons where you expect it. Recently bought the newer/rounder version from TFT (despite having nearly every other headtorch known to man) as I like the simplicity.
Kettle: Not a lot to go wrong with it
Toasters: Not a lot to go wrong with them
Water carriers: Not a lot to go wrong, but NGT / TEMU do the same/cheaper
Original Bivvy light: Still works but I got the same thing off BangGood posted from china 10+years ago for a tenner
Choppa: Not broke it yet
USB Heated Gas Cover: Worked quite well last winter for using up gas bottles. Uses a fair bit of power pack (especially when I forget to flick switch off)
Hooks: Only used a couple years ago, seemed very aggressive and sharp. I believe Angling Spirit bought the rights to the ACE hook patterns, not RidgeMonkey.

UNDECIDED
Thermal mug: Should come with it's own micro rucksack. I like the concept but some of the little containers are a fiddle and the lids can come off a bit too easily...and whilst they're big enough for sweeteners it can't carry enough tea bags for my liking

BAD
Quad Stove Pro: The piezo lighter is *****, doesn't work from brand new, had 2 replacements, none have worked. Block at top leaked gas on one of them. One of the leg's didn't fold under on one, bloke in their support said that was part of design (but it folded on the next 2 I had!?)
Perspective water bucket: Mine was cracked from brand new. Only realised as I lifted it to gently pour water on a mates fish for photo and the leak pissed water out sideways and got him wet in winter :(
