EZ Car Lift. Best tool I have ever purchased. I know it's not a 2/4 post lift but in my shop it works great and can be stored out of the way when I'm not using.

So that uses your own drill vs. a hydraulic system? How much was it? Does it require bolting anything into the garage floor?

Above the workbench, it seems there are two things I grab most often. My glasses and this. A dental pick, useful in so many ways. Not exactly "cool tool", but certainly multitasking.

Interesting. What types of things do you use it for?

Scraping dirt off, examining things closely, maybe removing a rubber/plastic cap a bit at a time, reaching where my fingers don't, prying things. It's not just the point, but also use the side of the curved end. It is kinda comfortable way to probe and pick at something at the small scale before taking the next step with a larger tool. Where I once grabbed a screw driver to use as a probe or lever, I tend to grab this half the time instead. I also seem to use it a lot for house repairs. You got me thinking I may be using it where other tools would do a better job like that telescoping magnetic wand above.

I'm confused. I thought Kalashnikov WAS the cool tool.

Another tool/s that I would never want to go without. These things have been excellent and save a ton of time and frustration. Ratcheting wrenches. They're basically indestructible and have a very fine tooth so they're great in tight spaces where you don't have much movement.
