where was the painted center line on highways invented first? The Upper Peninsula of Michigan

need something better than a 50 foot extension cord laying on the garage floor to plug into, Why not a retractable one? Even better, if you work with pnematic tools, and are fed up with lugging the air hose around? Check this new gadget out, the Roboreel

 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

Rafik has a new website design as well, and it's damn sweet to navigate and look through. http://wp.rkconcepts.com/

a variety of interesting stuff from Parkoffka.ru

 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

Rud is making a great variety of snow chains, and one very cool gizmo, the Rotogrip

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

But the following demonstration of inventiveness really is the coolest

 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
