What tool have you bought, thinking you'd use it all the time?

finally bought a nice stovetop waffle iron. wanted one for years and finally broke out. got a nordic ware for $40 and it's built like a tank and i expect it to last forever. used it for the first time today and while the batter was a bit of a production (melting butter, whipping egg whites) they sure were a lovely vehicle for loads of maple syrup
