Seasonal Tire Tote

Seasonal Tire Totes take the hassel out of changing snow tires. A heavy-duty shell with an easy to carry handle slips over the tire to protect you and your vehicle from tire and brake residue while organizing your garage. In their totes, tires stay neatly covered and stacked until the next season rolls around.

Master Flow MF-1050 Tsunami High Volume Portable Air Compressor


This compressor is being use as a DC Compressor for my RV. I have converted the battery clip to a standard RV power plug. It work well while I am traveling and on the road for emergency air source. It out performs any of the other portable compressors I've tried.

Malibu Outdoor Metal Bollard Four-Light Solar Powered Light Kit


I bought these lights based on the price at the time and on previous reviews. After I had set them up during the day,later in the evening I was surprised to see what great lights...It works great, provides light all night long, but the plastic spikes do not go far into the groud on the hard soil we have here. I thought the spikes were metel.

Black & Decker ASI300 Air Station Inflator


Running back and forth to the gas station to fill up car and bike tires, lawnmower wheels, boat trailers, and all those things that tend to go flat in the off season can get, well, tiresome. Cut out the back and forth with Black & Decker’s air station inflator. This handy unit plugs into any 120 volt outlet in the shop, or garage to quickly and conveniently pump up sports balls, tires, air mattresses and more. It also plugs into auto cigarette lighters and doesn’t take up much space in the car, boat, or camper for inflating sleeping pads and tires. The inflator easily inflates tires up to 200 psi. And, there’s no more guessing when the tire is filled to capacity. The inflator is equipped with Black & Decker’s EZ air dial that automatically shuts off once you’ve hit the desired psi. Convenient on-board cord, needle, and hose storage keeps all the goods in one place so that you don’t have to hunt down the needle to take care of that hard-to-bounce basketball. Great for road and home use, lightweight and portable. The unit works well, not to slow and the automatic shut-off does its job.

Bon-Aire BA121L 120V Air Compressor/Inflator


I always hated having to find a gas station to put air in my tires. Also, in the winter this was an unpleaseant task. Now with this compressor I can fill up the tires in my garage in relative comfort. It fills up the tires quickly and is very easy to use. The noise other reviewers refer to doesn't bother me. My only criticism is that you HAVE to have a fairly long extension cord if you want to plug it into your garage outlet and inflate all four tires in one go. I still give it five stars though. I've owned it for 3 years with no problems.

Accutire MS-4350B Programmable Digital Tire Gauge


The Accutire "Setpoint Tire Gauge," model MS-4350B from "MSI Sensors" (aka "MS-4350: Digital Set Point Programmable..." from "Measurement Specialties"), UPC 1550710566, has seven nice features. First, it's easy to hold. The bottom of the larger-than-usual body is rubberized, and the shape allows you to firmly press it onto a tire valve stem with a thumb. Second, there is an LED light activated by a big round button on the back. Third, the screen is backlit and the numbers are large. Fourth, there is no need to turn it on/off. Instead, you can push the nozzle onto the valve, and it displays the measurement; about 15 seconds later, it turns itself off. Fifth, it beeps when an accurate reading is taken. Sixth, the two CR2032 lithium batteries will presumably last a long time, and can be replaced if they wear out. Finally, if you keep forgetting how much air is needed, you can program separate front & rear target pressures.

With the rise in popularity of expensive bicycles, storage and safety have become an issue. Bikes stored one on top of the other in a garage or hanging from a ceiling can be dangerous for small children or can fall and damage not only the bike, but an expensive automobile or truck. The PBS-2R Racor Bike Stand will securely store two bikes in either direction and can be used indoors or can be secured outside the home to safely store your bikes. The Stand is easy for children to use and the tubular steel construction with its durable epoxy finish will give you many years of dependable service.
