any of the companies mentioned here. We just like their stuff.
Time for a sponge bath The 1 Step Wash & Wax sponge only
requires water to activate and with its patented time-release contents lasting up to eight wash- es, saving you the trouble and expense of purchas- ing additional products. It costs just $10 from
www.spongetechs.com.
A clean sweep All you do is sweep
the dirt on the shop floor over to the “eye vac” and a sensor on the unit au- tomatically activates the motor. There are no bags and the reus- able filter is designed to keep dust to a minimum. It’s $99 from
www.griotsga-
rage.com.
Wax in less time Eagle One claims its new Gel Wax
will perform as well as conventional R
paste wax, but requires less time since you won’t have to wait for the product to haze or dry before wiping clean. It also won’t leave a white resi- due behind and will work on black trim and molding with- out causing discoloration. Visit
www.eagleone.com or call 800-432-4531.

www.slickoffroad. com.
Fight seizures The Mini-Ductor II uses a
variety of coil sizes to pro- vide extreme heat (red hot, actually) onto or around the nut or bolt precisely where you need it. Once red hot — there’s no flame — a quick turn from a wrench is all it takes to free the offending nut or part. Order yours for $367 from
www.tooldesk. com.

able battery- powered ThumbGun pol- ish dispenser at- taches to your ro- tary or orbital polisher (it fits most pop- ular brands) and allows you dispense wax or polish without stopping. Add this device for just $70 from www.
