I've cured my trouble light woes for going on over a year now. Still always shining right in my eyes though. LOL!

Me too, on the curly bulb. I keep telling people that they work great, but no one believes me. I've bounced mine on the floor several times without failure. It doesn't get hot and burn you, and it does have less of a blinding effect when it gets in your eyes (as they will). Super shop tip.

How about -
Heat gun - used to apply heat too close to your fingertips - useful when entering the witness protection program.

Dont forget the JESUS PLIERS for removing C clips as you always end up blaspheming when the C clip goes flying into the oblivion.

Re: Tool Definitions

You would be amazed at how many non-car folks don't know that "Jesus Clip" is the official name for those little devils. Go into a REAL parts store and ask for a Jesus Clip, and they'll pull out a little box full of 'em, in various sizes.

So, you're saying they bounce back up again onto the car or what? :D :D
Gotta try me that sometime. ;)

Re: Tool Definitions

With regular bulbs, once they hit the floor they become objects for providing darkness - usually with a loud POP accompanied by my head hitting the underside of the hood. The curly bulbs seem to be capable of continuing lumens even after making trouble-light-to-floor contact. Way cool, in my mind. But you do have to manually return them to the precarious but optimal position that they held prior to floor contact.

a by product of those bulbs is they use way less electricity so you can spend more money on cars
