Today, while repairing and improving the robustness of a frayed power cord on a vacuum cleaner, it got me thinking of things that I probably could not do without.

For me, at the moment, one of the top things is heat shrink tubing. I've used the stuff on countless repairs, electrical insulating and weatherproofing.

It's simple, but such an ingenious product. Plus, I love to watch it shrink when using my mini heat gun.

Yes, little things :D

Insulating tape always looks like a bodge, compared to a nice piece of heat shrink.

I suppose posting "My car" makes my life easier wouldn't be politically correct in this forum? :rolleyes:

Oh alright, the motor in my bike's rear wheel it is then. :p
