+6 on the turkey baster. Wonder if the guy who invented it ever dreamed of all it's uses? Works wonders on overfill draining.

Tupperware containers are great for storing parts; you can see what's in them and they are stackable. I've also been known to use the kitchen sink to clean parts... usually catch h**l for that one!

Looks like Turkey Basters are the no.1 item that winds up in the garage.

Used her SHAM WOWs one time, to lay out my new front end parts on the garage floor. BIG mistake!

Just return the stuff after you're done. She'll never know!

I got caught stealing the aluminum (sp?) foil today.
She said don't steal it out of the house I will buy you a roll to keep in the shop. This crime was a win win!

Rolls of paper towels for some reason always end up in the shop.

Am I the only one that uses the kitchen as a supply store? I bet not!

What have you guys eased out of the house to use in the shop?
The last time I stole from the wife's kitchen for motorcycle tool's it cost me a full kitchen remodel!!!!!

It's not from the kitchen, but in addition to all the stuff above, I also have a roll of toilet paper for the jobs too small for a full sized paper towel.

Does that big vibrator have a Briggs and Stratton engine?
