What We Found in an Amazon Mystery Box: TP-Link & More — April 30, 2026

We cracked open an Amazon Mystery Box at Deals Down Under today, and honestly? It skewed hard toward the practical side. Seventy-seven items, $658 in estimated retail value, and enough tools to make a home mechanic or weekend angler pretty happy. Hot Springs, we're your hardware store today.

Thirteen CV Boot Clamp Pliers — Yes, Thirteen

The undisputed star of this box was the thirteen CV Boot Clamp Pliers + CV Joint Boot Clamp Pliers that came tumbling out. At $14.00 each retail, that's $182 in one category alone. If you've ever wrestled with a CV boot repair and improvised with the wrong tool, you know exactly why these matter. We've got plenty to go around.

Keeping them company in the tool department was a RUNCL Fishing Pliers Kit for Saltwater and Freshwater Anglers, Fishing Remover Extractor, Multipurpose Fishing Tool for Split Ring, Line Cutter, Non-Slip Handle Plier — a solid multi-tool for anyone spending time on the lake this season. One unit, but a good one.

Then there were forty-four — yes, forty-four — Rubbermaid FG191300 Extra Narrow Scrapers/Spatulas at $7.93 each. That's a lot of scrapers. We're talking over $348 retail worth of a very specific kitchen tool. Someone out there needs a spatula. Probably several someones.

On the tech side, two TP-Link TL-SG105 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switches made the cut — plug-and-play, no configuration needed, $17.99 each. Great little find for anyone setting up a home network on the cheap.

And then, completely out of nowhere: one box of Honey Maid Graham Crackers. A $1.92 curveball. We don't question it. We just enjoy the chaos.

Plus dozens more bin-labeled items heading straight to our store bins for digging through in person.
