Having bought some parts from these people, I now get emails about latest hot devices and additions for my home theatre (I don't actually have one but that does NOT seem to worry them).
The latest item was just a pic of something with a complex mechanism and a handle on the side - on clicking I got this description
'Wire Stripper Manual Wire Stripping Tool Scrap Copper Cable Peeling Machine Hand Crank with Hand Electric Drill for 2-20mm Wire'
I wonder what a 'Hand Electric Drill' is?? - but am too afraid to ask as I get enough emails off them already!!
Any others find these amusing???

Its all about the keywords for search engines... they just throw every single word that might or might not mean something into the title in the hopes that some poor sod searching for something they need might stumble across the Ali Express page and buy one.
I spend a lot of time on Ali Express and buy a lot of stuff - usually with some success... the titles of their listings are often amusing...
Cheers, Steve

Even weirder is this offering from redtagtown on trade me TO-92 transisitor apparently.
'This TO-92 Transistor is a stapler in many scenes with its own actuators. A lot of about 600 pieces, A1015, C1815, S8050, S8550, and S8512, which also can not contain the relatively high frequency of the transistor it is full of sensation.
We have 15 different models to choose from
The packaging is elaborate and beautiful, packed in one compact plastic storage box.
It is holding various bipolar triode properly
Because TO-92 Transistor is partitioned, you don't have need to worry that so many through-hole transistors are scattering apart so much.
TO-92 Transistor is widely used in Europe from the safety point of view because the load does not operate even if it is short-circuited to 0 V. The input specifications and circuits of the connected equipment Please select according to the safety requirements of.'
May all your transistors be 'full of sensation' folks!
