COOL GARAGE ACCESSORIES

My pursuits to find cool accessories for garage projects can turn up things reengineered for garage use. Did you know there is a wall-mounted vacuum cleaner, with a 20 foot hose, for the garage? Vacuum your car outside the garage or get the crud in the far corner of the floor. I had to get one of these and so should you. You've seen the white "slatwall" in retail store displays with clothing hanging from it. Well now you can get the PVC version, which is stronger, in an assortment of colors. There are different manufacturers of "slatwall" with their own line of hooks, shelves, and baskets. Few of these accessories are interchangable between manufacturers, so do your homework to insure you get what you need.

The first area to upgrade in any garage project is the floor. Did you know you can change the look of your floor in about 30 minutes? A product known as G-GLOOR, a vinyl mat, can be purchased in different length and width dimensions to custom fit your entire floor or just cover the area where you park your pride and joy.

I'm guessing a lot of you have a creeper in your garage. Some are better than others, but they all look alike. Well now there is a revolutionary creeper called the "BONE." It's cool looking and it will make your time under your car more enjoyable. The "BONE" has large wheels at each corner that roll right over the stones and other debris that stops the average creeper. The manufacturer recently introduced a mechanic's seat called the "TAIL-BONE" built on the same wheels that glide smoothly over rough surfaces. The "TAIL-BONE" has a large, comfortable seat that resembles a tractor seat.






These are just a few of the products that get my garage a little closer to "GARAGE-MAHAL" status. If you've discovered any cool new products tell me about them. I'm always looking for things to make my garage look good and make it a better place to work on my cars.
