Not Your Mother’s Iron

Author:

My dislike for ironing and my dislike for wrinkly clothes are constantly waging battle. But the iron eventually wins and I’m forced to wield my least favorite household appliance, praying the entire time that I don’t burn myself. However, if I owned the Repair-Ware Steam Iron designed by Samuel James Davies, I still wouldn’t love ironing, but I might fall in love with the iron itself.

The Repair-Ware Series are a group of household appliances that are easy to maintain and urges self-reliance. The Steam Iron is assembled in simple layers and held together with two screws that can be opened with only a penny.
