Just like some of us give names to our cars, I'll bet many of you have named your garages / shops. Show us your shop/garage names and why (if not obvious) Mine is Gail's Paradise Lost Garage. "Paradise Lost" was the name of a boring book many of us had to read in school. When we moved into our...

Ever buy a really useless tool that you thought would be great at the time of purchase? I've had this RatShit for about 20 years and never used it. It's very heavy and well made. The idea is if you don't have enough room to move the handle, you just grab the small T handle (with red caps) and...
