How to: Build a cool tool.

Have you ever lost those stupid ford keys for removing factory ford radios? Our shop loses them constantly, so much so tha we chained both keys together with a very long thin chain, but if you can't find the keys you can always use small allen wrenches and use them like the ford keys. not really a cool tool, but hopefully helpful to someone.

i'm surprised no one has mentioned the other uses of left over speakers.... i have an old RF sub here we use to magnetize screwdrivers so they hold screws better as well as a couple of old blown Alpine 6" speakers we use to clean up knibble poop when you enlarge a hole in a parcel shelf etc.... one or two swipes with an old speakers will save you 5 minutes with a shop vac...... same thing when drilling holes under the hood... lay an old bum speaker under where you are drilling and it grabs all the fine metal shavings automatically, making a much cleaner job ......Kevin Gerry

That is a pretty good idea, the magnetic sweeping.I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
