Bill Calrico had one of those at a recent event and I thought it was cool. What is the list price?

Pat, Right on my friend. Right on. I say that tool should be outlawed as Dr. Mikey sees enough crap without it.

Re: neat judging tool

On a possibly related "Neat Tool" issue, I recently picked up a flashlight/magnet at Discount Auto Parts. The small magnet is on the end of a short flex stem, which in turn is on the end of an antenna like mast with a blue light around it. I've used it twice already to recover dropped small metal parts. It's about six or eight inches long collapsed an extends out about three feet. Was inexpensive too.

Re: neat judging tool

Someone, I can't remember who, had an auto inspection kit from COSCO at this years Judging Retreat in Dallas. It contained flashlight(s), a couple of magnifying mirrors, lighted I believe, and a couple of other items as I recall.

Unfortunately I do not get to COSCO often as it is three days mule ride from where we live.

Re: neat judging tool

So many things I do now require more light than they did a few years ago.
Thanks Mike.

Re: neat judging tool

The cars that "get by" guys like Mike M. and Bill Clupper are few and far between - if you're a "newbie" and want to learn, when you arrive at a meet, go ask the Judging chairman for the judges assigned. If you find Mike & Bill judging together, sign up as an "OJ". I don't care if you are a "Master Judge", you will learn more that day than in the next 10 years.
