    Indoor tip for kerosene mantle lamps that are not stored, are fueled, but not in use at the moment. I put a small plastic cup over the wick. This lets me know at a glance which lamps have fuel in them, and in older lamps that have a kerosene odor, it helps keep that sealed up.

    Neat trick for the body shop. When you break one end you just turn the bit around. Another thing on the tool truck that I never knew I needed.

    You know we'll have to weaponize this thing!

    Nice modern twist on the old Cheatah tank. Has three outlets with two going out to the sides. Recoil is much more friendly than the old tank style.

    Probably a better conductor than some of the cheap jumper cables I've seen.
    I remember jump starting with a set of junky jumper cables with both cables on the Positive (+) posts and the bumpers touching to make the ground path. You could do that with a '68 LeMans and a '75 Rabbit. Had to bounce the Pontiac a bit to help the pointy nosed chrome bumper rub through the paint on the Rabbit bumper, but it worked. Can't find many cars around nowadays that can do that.

    I'd have to have a trail cam set up to watch the reactions of visitors to the pond. ;)
