A customer just gave this to me. Fat bikes are such a pain to hand pump. This thing makes it fast and easy.

I haven't used a hand pump in 30 years of cycling, except once when I got a flat and the patch wasn't good. Initially I pumped the tire up with CO2 cylinders but when it started to go back down I had to use the little pump I carried. At home I use a 12V car tire compressor, I run them off old motorcycle starter batteries or little 7A gelcells. Picture an icecream bucket with the two inside.
 
One of the handiest (and cheapest) tools I own. It's just a short piece of silicone tubing:

Very handy for starting small nuts in hard to reach places

If the fit is too loose, use a small zip tie to hold the nut in place:

I made a 🍺 Cozy Tool out of a plastic Mason style fruit jar,..

It fits Real Snug.
This is a full can of 🍺,..

It's just a dead air space, but it's pretty well sealed, and I put two Styrofoam lid seals on the bottom to insulate and isolate the bottom of the can to keep it from conducting heat (or coldness) into the plastic fruit jar,..

I'm good to go for a long-winded slow 🍺 that's now cold until the Last drop. 😁
 
For years I have been puzzling on how to best keep a book open while for example, eating. I have tied wrenches with rubber grips on them, bars with rubber bands. Now I found how. It is simple. It is flexible on the contours and yet heavy enough to hold the pages open. Look mom, no hands! You can eat while reading outside with the wind. I will get a grown up book in the morning; I am fresh out tonight and had to read something.
