Those Webasto heaters are so cool!!

E track on the inside is the best for holding things. I even used it on top of the roof of my old truck in the event I had to haul a latter or some conduit.

I wish I had photos of the tourch hose reel that I had made years ago. I had a reel that had a peg in the center of the reel. Half of the way down my 150 ft hose I doubled it over and tapped it together. I would slip the loop over the peg and wrap it up from the center. By the time the cutting...

You are fulfilling my lifelong dream!!!!!

I have been a technition on the road for 25 years. I just changed jobs and have to outfit my third truck. All the other technitions at work share their innovations. Do we have some guys here that have their shop on the road? Pictures of your ideas would be great. Keep those wheels in your head...

That's a great vaccuum cleaner. The motor is close to the floor. No long hose to slow down the air. Very like friction.

Here is your video of it running!

I do have a video, but don't know how to post it.

This generator is all American. And all mechanical. The mechanical voltage regulator is so cool! It has all the safety shut down's and all in working condition. Still has the original gas tank. I have had other guys say they just want to see the tank because they can't find any. I plan to put it...

I do generator repair for a living and I'm in a job change right now so I gotta get my toys out of the bosses warehouse before it gets put on EBay. I had a customer that was using it on a farm. The 87 year old miser needed a bigger generator but didn't want to spend any money. So his son and I...
