    Electric Buffers

    We recently had much of our family wagon repainted to repair small scuff and stone chips. Now i can see in the sunlight swirls and marks in the paint that need a decent once-over with an electric buffer.

    Vinyl-Dipped Handles

    I have a few pairs of pliers with bulky grips, this isn't great for tight spaces nor are they good to keep clean. i have a handful of Knipex pliers with vinyl-dipped handles, and they do the job perfectly. they're comfortable enough, they clean easy and they're quite resilliant to chemicals and...
