Interesting stuff from Flailings.blogspot.com




For a variety of cool stuff: http://flailings.blogspot.com/

Isn't this the coolest rolling toolbox / racetrack seating you'll ever want?

Just check out those screens! The top of the counter is for laptops etc... the seat has a flip up back rest
And best of all... it raises up on a scissor lift!


For other cool rolling toolboxes at the track: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/10/tool-boxes-among-trailers-in-paddock-at.html

but the most amazing tool box you'll ever see: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJDj3Jcf9moiuAF6ItUZyfAFFItA36ii_SRN6NPRYmBmFgZFebvCWaw7NTEknk8b0Ti4bLsprHYMJBkA7iyM6g-GP7hgN6aiZC8_TUXXeHsnwKz_qmIBtGQQ3cmI9xBg5o54eRWrdyFrXJ/s1600-h/Studley_1280x1024.jpg from 100 years ago when a piano master crafter decided to put all his tools in a custom toolbox that he made from spare bits of piano materials like ivory, ebony, rosewood, mahogany and mother of pearl - refining it over the course of a 30-year career. It was in the Smithsonian for a while

Definite advantage to being able to reach all your engine compartment, and if you've got a tall truck, you might want to consider this, the Elevator

See where his feet are? That's step one, then look at his right hand, that's the lever
It hooks in place, and you are then hovering over the engine bay, able to work without straining your knees backward, or your lower back



I saw the demo guys in action, and sorry that the still photos don't really convey the ease of motion it takes to get comfortable horizontally in place over what would be your vehicle, but it was simple and just two steps to not hurting yourself while spending hours working over your engine.

the ‘Elevator’ has a definite benefit in all automotive repair shops, most certainly in shops that service light duty trucks, SUV’s, 4x4’s, etc. This specialty tool was designed by industry professionals, for use by tradesmen and hobbyists alike. We hope that you too will see the benefits of the ‘Elevator’ in your organization also.

We promote, sell and ship our products online at www.nomadmfg.com. We are also currently looking for established distributors who may be interested in carrying our product(s) in their inventory of automotive tools & equipment.

When shopping for or making your next tool box, here are a variety that the pros use. Seeing that touring race car teams use them, I bet they are set up for the most efficient way to get things done.
