You ever tried to lay a gaggle of wrenches on the nose of an airplane? Hell, never mind, you probably have ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I already have one of those, it's name is hey apprentice, grab me a 3/4" wrench and a cup of coffeeSent from my iPad using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I don't like that it's flexy, what he should have done is a rigid plastic box with the mat on the bottom. So the mat conforms to the shape so it stays in place but you have a rigid box with four rigid lips to hold tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd the Tinkerer Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 That's pretty cool. I could definitely see the usefulness of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 He didn't invent it, it was a product that already existed and he just adapted it to his purpose. They've had grip sheets and grip trays for years for cell phones. I have one that came with my Zune, and that's about 15 years old or older. Plus his tool tray takes all the fun out of looking for a place to put a tool, only to have it fall off and roll under what you're working on. I can't tell you how much I enjoy getting down on all fours with a flashlight for a half-hour looking for that socket that just rolled under the truck, only to find it 10 minutes later 40 feet from where I'm working. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlas2000 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Having been an aircraft mechanic for a long time, I would have loved to have had one! People get upset when you scratch the paint on their aircraft and there are not many flat surfaces (or apprentices) to be taken advantage of. Not to mention that I get upset dropping tools or going back and forth from my tool box to swap them out. I would definitely get one if I was still in the business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd the Tinkerer Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 just like the pin, some guy came along and put a head on it....You know that is not a bad idea to put a flange on the end of a socket to make it roll in a circle. I believe everyone has been victim to it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs a generator to recharge your batteries. Also, of course it has to have bluetooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
