Just thought I would ask everyone some tips, tricks or hints you use in the garage. This can be anything from how to store parts to how to do common tasks easy. You can even list some of yoru "must have" tools. Ill list a few I use
Must have little extras:
-magnetic dish - holds bolts, wrenches, whatever and whereever you want it. About $10
-hanging light - the florecent ones you buy on a retractable reel - $30-$50 and well worth it
-welding gloves - great for more than welding, such as grinding, drilling, pretty much anything. They are longer so keep crap out of your sleeves, plus are insulated and super tough. $10
Tips:
-when drilling a hole in the frame of a vehicle, use a 2 handled drill and wrap a chain around the 2nd handle and the frame so its taught. Twist the drill and it will pull it into the frame, making it very simple and fast to drill the hole. MUCH easier than just pushing on the damn drill.
Ill add more later
