“I love this list!” said Gadget Show presenter Jason Bradbury. “I can totally relate to it, especially the craving for power tools – I can’t live without my Dremmel mini saw.
“If I could add to it though, it would be a skateboard for teenagers and a gadget that every man should own but hasn’t even been invented yet - a robotic pram rocker to send babies to sleep. My digital life in my 30s was massively disrupted by crying babies and a gadget like that would have been a Godsend.”
