Rollabout Oil Caddy
Roger Foster, Tower Hill, Ill.: "For positive control of oil being drained from elevated vehicles, its hard to beat the rollabout caddy that I use in my shop. The catch pan above is directly connected to the catch container below, and the pipe lets me position the unit under the vehicle being serviced. It eliminates the need to line up the oil flow from above to hit a catchpan below, which can result in frequent oil spills and dangerously slick floors.
"As any lathe operator knows, heavy lifts and a steady hand are frequently called for. I decided to do something about it. I put up a length of door track overhead which serves as a track for a lightweight winch. I put the hanging support on hinges so it can swing left to right. Then I hung a low cost, lightweight, electrically-powered winch from it. This combination allows me to pick up whatever I'm working on and then gently guide it into my lathe."
