 You can get the swivel airhose reel that will unreel in anydirection and not get the hose wound around the axel, plus it's not going to whip around when retracting like most spring loaded reels do. Their design was based on the old window shade that your grandparents had, that one that never stopped where you wanted it to, and snapped back up to the top of the window unexpectedly. This gizmo has a motor that retracts at a set pace, and the amount you pulled out, not just part way causing you to jerk on the hose multiple times to get it to work right. Don't take my opinion on this though, for 300 bucks or so (280 on Amazon) you'll want an expert opinion right?

they also make an extension cord retactable gizmo very identical to the air hose one. If you prefer to just reach up and grab the ext cord, air hose, etc etc than walk around the garage, you've wasted a lot of time in search of the cord just like I have.

in the center of the bulb you plug into is the button you push to get the cord to retract.


and a water house housing too

 they are already featured in the below magazines
And I found the Roboreel to be the most innovative gadget at SEMA. I wish to hell the shops I've worked at, and currently slave away in, would get the air hose and electrical extension cord reel, lots of them

 that is a great way to pillow the car!

wow, great idea for a bridge paint job, and what a opportunity for Lego to get free advertising!


already eye catching, the stretch and blue light really are knock ou




 the above is going to be a huge problem and not end well. There is nothing that is going to stop the tire from coming in, washing out under the tires of the truck and trailer, and no way that is going to get towed out with less than a Caterpillar D-9

just a small sample of the interesting stuff at http://parkoffka.ru

I am not familiar with snow chains, I've never needed them. So pardon me if I'm wrong, but these seem to be innovative ways of making snow chains more effective and are innovative in my opinion




 as your tire rolls along, you hit a switch, and that causes the contact roller to swing onto the sidewall of your tire, which then powers the roller into spinning, and since the chains are bolted to it, they swing around, and get spun out flat and onto the ground in front of the tire that need snow chains. On the move, without getting out and putting a set of chains onto your tire. It's like the effect that flipping a switch to engage 4 wheel drive had instead of the old way of stopping your truck, getting out, and trying to rotate the lever in the hub to engage 4 wheel drive. Now, you can keep moving

Once ready for production, the bicycle will include no metal parts, even the brake mechanism and the wheel and pedal bearings will be made of recycled substances, although Gafni said he could not yet reveal those details due to pending patent issues.

cardboard and other recycled materials could bring a major change in current production norms because grants and rebates would only be given for local production and there would be no financial benefits by making bicycles in cheap labor markets.

"This is a real game-changer. It changes ... the way products are manufactured and shipped, it causes factories to be built everywhere instead of moving production to cheaper labor markets, everything that we have known in the production world can change," he said.

 Elmish said the cardboard bikes would be made on largely automated production lines and would be supplemented by a workforce comprising pensioners and the disabled.
Elmish said the business model they had created meant that rebates for using "green" materials would entirely cancel out production costs and this could allow for bicycles to be given away for free in poor countries.

 Producers would reap financial rewards from advertisements such as from multinational companies who would pay for their logo to be part of the frame, he explained.

 "Because you get a lot of government grants, it brings down the production costs to zero, so the bicycles can be given away for free. We are copying a business model from the high-tech world where software is distributed free because it includes embedded advertising," Elmish explained.
