Dumb Garbage or Not?

I have been using normal 5 gallon pails for washing cars.....and for washing parts its usually a cheap small clear tote which usually fail or crack about every year and need to be replaced. Mostly from the degreaser etc...it just eats them away and makes them brittle. I stumbled on this. It just said tote and was up high. I grabbed it down and it has a REALLY beefy handle.......and grit grate for parts washing which is great. It will hold enough liquid to wash a car or two and its heavy black plastic so out in the sun it will keep your cleaners warm. Its also pretty big and will fit any parts id be cleaning. Happy to have found this and i will probably pick up another. I think they stack. For less than $10 you cant go wrong. Looks to be an unreal deal. I wont be able to really put it to the test until spring but it looks like a winner.    Home Depot Link: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-16-in-Black-Plastic-Multi-Use-Tote-with-Grit-Screen-THD2020-003/315003283

This thing is fantasic. I have had it for about 10 years..maybe more. INfrequent use but so many uses. Polishing plastics and metals .....is a great unit. Verdict: Its awesome and worth the price all day. Link:

 This Anker LC90 is really good for the money. Great Flashlight...but more importantly you can run it as a bike light using the mount recommended in another post just below. I had to shim it with a small piece of plastic from a milk carton but it worked out great. Its a bit larger and heavier than your normal small pocket LED flashlight but its SUPER bright and works really well on the bike. You will surely be seen with this thing.  Verdict: Recommended.  Link:  https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Tactical-Flashlight-Rechargeable-Water-Resistant/dp/B01KH2JP5G

 Bike light mount. These go by several different names and run about $2 - $5 depending where you get them.  I got some of these several years back from China ....probably Aliexpress or whatever.  These work great for mounting small LED Flashlights which i have been running for years as well. I upgraded to a rechargeable ANKER Bolder light. its bigger and heavier than my others but its really nice and a lot brighter. I found that this mount works well. I had to make a small shim out of a milk carton and found that you must run the mount backwards and under the bars to get the center gravity of the light so that it wont tilt down on you as you hit bumps. IT works really well and that setup is still cheaper than any bike specific light. Also...the flahlight can still be used as a flashlight. 

These things are fantastic. They are also less than $2.  Very much recommended and very useful. 

These are Good. Cheap and will hold 1/2 inch impact sockets real well without them falling off. I have not found another  style that will do this. Recommended.  

 Good simple strong belt that stays put.  I got the XL because i like having the extra slack. This is a pretty good  basic belt and is quite rigid if you carry stuff. I dont. I use it to hold up my pants. Extremely affordable and works well. THe cloth d-ring belt it replaced had about 8 years on it and was shredded from use. I hope to get more than that out of this one. It is better built than the one it replaced. I think these run about $15. Link:  https://www.511tactical.com/tdu-belt-15-plastic-buckle.html Verdict: Good
