I havent seen many threads on great tool mods and since the year is almost over it would be cool to get a set of ideas to start 2008. My contribution follows:

After seeing all the recent posts on jack recommendations and after using mine yesterday, I was reminded of how well I like mine with my CHEAP modifications. I tend to use them on lowered cars so handle clearance to bumper has to be a scratch free experience.

Earlier this summer I picked up some pipe insulation and with some duct tape viola.... completely safe handles for your jacks.
