    Coolest new tool in the shop.

    20161014_194615.jpg

    I just discovered these Tuesday and bought some today.
    My house is about 400 feet from my shop and it was a chore walking up every so often to wash my hands.
    These things are amazing, has anyone used them yet?

    I have used them and like them.
    Wiping down tools as well as hands. The 2 different textures are nice.

      It's only about 50 feet, in my case, but Mrs. Steve's favorite tool in my shop (besides me, of course) is my deep sink.

      Besides being able to wash my hands, there are NO MORE CARBS IN THE KITCHEN SINK.

      The half bath on the other side of the wall from the deep sink is pretty darn handy, too.

        I'm going to try them on oil stains on the floor also.


        Steve, if I had your garage (and I saw this quoted elsewhere) I would never have to leave.

          Those are great. My work van always has Scrubs in a bucket on hand.
          Different name, same concept. If you find that they start to dry out, add some water.

            I've been meaning to try those. I have a jug of hand sanitizer in the van but those scrubbing wipes would work much better.

            That's hilarious about the carbs in the sink. Here's a surprise I found in a deep sink last week.



            my apologies as this has nothing to do with the original post!

              Is that where you leave your keys?

                Hah, um yeah. Just toss them in so I'm always able to find them.

                Wanted something for a size comparison. This was a huge centipede. Stretched out was five inches or so long.

                    With my luck that centipede would have drug the keys down the drain.

                      Steve, I do have a project that I'll bring down.
                      I have a rack of carbs that need some tender loving care. I'll pm you about that unless you prefer email.

                        Two things that I've discovered about these wipes other than being remarkable on hand cleaning;

                        1) they leave spots on the floor when you use them for oil.

                        2) they are very very effective on bugs embedded in the front of your bike. Very effective!

                          A quick add. I once used a brand called Hercules Hands. I used them to clean off some spots from a radiator cover I installed, and it softened the paint.

                            You frightened me a little. I hadn't thought of that.
                            I got up this morning and checked the bike and I'm happy to report no adverse reactions on chrome, paint or plastic. Whew.
