Great when working on the motor

These are a great safety device when working on the motor, or any engine bay work for that matter.
We all know how lousy the bonnet struts are. I have a similar tool that I've used for years now.
Might be worth throwing one in the tool box?

I use a much cheaper tool for that purpose. It's called a stick.

Im always reminded to replace the bonnet struts when i get a whack in the back if the head. Found this works pretty well but broom handles come in handy in the meantime. What, once every 15 years?
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

Yeah I'm a stick man also. I've also added a cable tie (trimmed off) to each strut and just slide it up to the base of the strut adds extra resistance and generally holds unless it is quite windy.

An engineering genious! My kind of man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Power to the sticks .............................
It always amazes me how people want to turn a simple task into an expensive piece of bulldust and use flash, shinny bits when a simple stick will do the job. Go figure.
