A hood strut failed on a BMW at my shop, which caused permanent damage to the hood. I now have all my techs use a hood clamp as a safety precaution. This clamp is awesome because it has a soft metal tip that won't damage the hood strut. - Jamie

If you're like me, you love a nice clean floor. Typical jack stands can dig into your garage floor or if you're working on blacktop during a hot summer day, they sink into the ground. These jack stands have large flat discs to evenly distribute the weight without damaging your floor. They're also much safer. I don't like cars falling off jacks, you shouldn't either.

I have this exact Dash Cam in my Wife's car.  All my cars have dash cams and this one is by far my favorite. I was frustrated with all the options of dash cams on the market and after trying out a few, this is THE one! Easy menu, high quality video for all 3 cameras. The front camera is a better quality of 4k. It also records video and audio of the interior. If you're involved in an accident that's truly not your fault, this could save you big time! I'd recommend the hard wire kit for a clean install. You'll also need a memory card, I'm using a 128mb micro SD.
