In another thread I recommended Bondo Glass as a good workshop product. I was wondering if others on the forum have products they use to solve problems or improve skills. I would like to learn about them.
Your favorite workshop “helpers”?

Servisol switch cleaner spray. I use this on the electrical contacts in my vinyl jukeboxes. WD40 is not a good cleaner for electrics as some may think.
Good thread topic! I'll be watching this with interest.
My most used "helper" is probably the Irwin Quick Grip Clamps:
I've got 6 of them (2 large and 4 small) and I use them for all sorts of jobs. They're a really basic tool, but these ones seem pretty well made and are easy to use with a single hand, when the other is holding the object in the correct position for clamping.

I've always found a "lump hammer," quite useful.
Please explain to us Yanks what a lump hammer is.
It's one of these things... big, heavy and great for chisels and demolition etc...Please explain to us Yanks what a lump hammer is.
Hi,
Good question Doug and I wish I had more time to answer. I've just been using my "Pelican"
These paint kettles are simply brilliant; I've had mine a few years and it's seen a lot of use; when I gave our bungalow a makeover both inside and outside I used water based paint; I bought a dozen spare liners and am still using the original liner because I wash it out. today I've treated both our huts using the Pelican.
Kind regards, Colin.
Brush and roller have never been so handy as this.
3" brush held by Pelican magnet.
The original liner now used for hut treating; this liner has seen lots of use.
