Sniper Optical Headlamp Aimer — It is so simple to use, it almost aims headlamps by itself.

Set of ratcheting GearWrenches — They are compact, and so easy to use in cramped areas where other wrenches won’t fit.

Herkules Enclosed Spray Gun Washer — Part of my shop being a “green shop” is keeping my spray guns sparkling clean inside and out at the turn of a timer.

Leezer Products Urethane Bumper Handler — This keeps bumper covers in place while refinishing, enabling me to refinish all sides easily.

Walker Jack Vehicle Door Handler — Enables one man to remove and/or install a door of any weight and size from any vehicle without assistance.
