Tools & Materials

Clean air-ups with fewer PSI losses

Twist-on inflator hoses bleed pressure when attaching and removing. The ‘LockNFlate Locking Air Chuck’ clicks on and off a Schrader stem, which helps minimize that pressure blip.

  • Tip: Add thread tape between the chuck and any adapter to reduce seepage.
  • Use with a portable inflator so you can set target PSI and avoid re-topping.

Smarter battery tender routing on a UTV

Keeping a seasonal vehicle on a tender is easier with a permanent lead. Use the ‘Battery Tender Ring Terminal Harness Connector’ on the battery, then add the ‘25ft SAE Extension’ to reach your tender without moving the machine.

  • The ‘2pc SAE Connector’ lets you create a neat quick-disconnect path along the frame.
  • Keep the SAE polarity consistent end-to-end to avoid reverse hookups later.

Scissors that actually replace the junk drawer pair

The ‘KAI 7300 Scissors’ feel smoother through tough packaging and require less hand force than a typical shop pair.

  • If your current scissors bind on clamshells or thicker material, longer blades and a smoother pivot help maintain a clean cut.
  • Store them in a sheath or on a dedicated hook so they stay sharp and don’t get used as a pry tool.

Compact soldering that fits tight spaces

The ‘Pinecil Soldering Iron’ is pen-sized with swappable tips and runs via USB-C or DC input, making it handy for bench or field work.

  • Benefit: Smaller handle improves control on LED strips and small-gauge wiring.
  • Check your power source: output depends on input, so use a capable supply to hit higher temps quickly.

Packout organization that reduces hunting

‘Milwaukee packout’ accessories like the plier rack and compact wall basket keep safety glasses and small kits visible and accessible.

  • For glasses, a horizontal rack avoids stacking and lens scratching.
  • Open baskets are great for grab-and-go items, but keep dust-prone gear in closed storage.

The right small upgrades—locking air chuck, dedicated tender leads, a precision soldering pen, and sharper scissors—save time every single week. Pick one pain point and fix it today; you’ll feel it on the next project.
