Seriously, I use the stuff any time I need to insert a rubber bushing or rubber grommet somewhere it doesn't want to go. A while back, I replaced the subframe bushings on Lilly. I tried using the silicone spray treatment on the bushings to help seat the bushings in the sub frame. No deal....not quite slippery enough!! I sat there scratching my head, trying to come up with something that was slippery and would stay in place long enough to let me get the bushing pushed in. Somehow I remembered the Pam spray (I usually think of this sort of stuff waaay after the fact). It worked pretty doggone well.

a telescoping magnetic-tipped pick up tool, and a retracting-claw pickup tool (on a flexible cable with an actuating button on the end). Also a telescoping inspection mirror. These tools are indispensible when attempting to retrieve that small part which just dropped into the worst possible place.

I just noticed that Harbor Freight has their 3,000 pound rated aluminum floor jack on sale for $89
 . 34 pounds total weight.I have no idea how rebuildable they are or how long they will last but they seem to work well.

My top 10 starter tools ( a good base to begin with) are in order of saving me the most money (outside of hammers, pliers, screwdrivers etc. and basic power tools like drills, angle grinder, etc.):
#1 6 point and 12 point standard and metric sockets in 3/8 and, with different length extensions, swivel knuckle, breaker bar, etc. #2 More commonly used sizes in 1/2, along with extensions and breaker bar #3 Standard and metric open/box combo wrenches #4 High Quality DVM - by far saving me more money than any other "specialized type" tool I own #5 Timing Light and Vacuum Gauge #6 Good floor jack and jack stands (4) #7 MAPP gas torch #8 Good lighting, hand held and stand type #9 Ramps #10 Bench Vise
