"Hi providing feedback to every entry is not possible given the volume of submissions and the limited time the juries have to work on this. I can tell you from personal experience that often times the difference between being an honoree and not making the cut can be very slim. Also many times it is the story telling, or lack thereof, that convinces a jury to award a project, so make sure your description is short, clear and compelling. Have other, unbiased people read it before you submit your entry. Good luck!"on: Create the Perfect Entry for Any Design Award Program in Five Steps

"I have the park tool version. It works pretty well but the Temu version looks like it has better scrubbing features. I find it leaves a lot of fluid on the chain so lately I've just been scrubbing it with a brush and rag and squirting the solution on as needed. Much less mess. Removing the chain and cleaning in a dish is even better. "on: A Handheld Bicycle Chain Pass-Through Scrubber

"20 burgers?! When's the party? Seriously though, pre-sliced American Cheese is $7.49 per pound at my local grocer. Kraft Singles are available via Amazon for $24.64 per pound (with free delivery for Prime members) but you can buy them at Target for $5.50 per pound. So a little cheaper than the grocery store, but I agree that single-serve anything wrapped in plastic is a terrible idea. Also it's not that hard to open these slices in their current packaging - just saying. "on: Package Design: Kraft Singles Target Gen Z /Millennials with "Easier to Open" Wrapping

Wera Multicolor Metric Hex Wrench Set
Submitted by: Stuart Constantine
Everyone needs a good set of metric hex wrenches, and this set looks and works great. The holder keeps them organized and the color-coded sized make it easy to pick the one you need. Not the cheapest set out there but worth the extra expense for the quality and tolerances.
