Lugs Long Loads
A super handy invention for carrying pipe, lumber, molding, ladders, rugs and other long items in a standard sedan. Or, more precisely, out of a standard sedan. This pair of giant plastic hooks, 23-1/2" x 16-1/2" overall, mount over the doors of your car with the windows open. The (2) hooks have approx 6-1/2" ID openings to cradle the long stuff. Max load is 44 lbs per pair. Includes (2) 15" bungee cords. Also perfect for carrying your lance to jousting tournaments. (Surely you joust.)

Get The Hook
When you need to give someone the hook, we're your go-to source. We recommend this drop-forged steel eye-hook, 4-3/16" long x 2-15/16" x 9-1/6" thick with a 5/16" ID eye and a 1-1/8" ID hook opening. Zinc-plated and rated for hanging up to 1,900 lbs. Not suitable for earrings.

Figure 9 Carabiner
The Figure 9 Carabiner, while it looks more like a sea-horse than a 9, is still a handy little bugger. It's never for climbing (even if you're skinny), but as a rope tightener it's rated for 150 lbs, and is sized for 1/8" to 3/8" dia ropes. Measures 4-1/2" long over all, is well-marked with directions printed right on its coated-aluminum body, and is a quick way to cinch down and release a load without having to deal with knots. A Nite Ize" product.

Hole Liner
Heyco #SB-625-500 hard black plastic grommet. Split down the side, it is 11/16" OD, 1/2" ID to fit a 5/8" dia hole. It is 17/32" long OA with a small flange at one end, and a snap positioned 9/32" back on the shaft. Sounds about right for a 1/4" thick panel to us.

Suck-Up
If there's a sucker born every minute, here's a half-hour's production for less than a dime apiece. Each of these black-rubber suction cups is 1-3/6" dia with a 5/16" dia protuberance. The mammillated suction cups were intended to hold cell phones, but they have a groove that will hold a loop of nylon filament - and whatever dangles on the end of it - like a champ.

Well, I'll Be Hanged
Which is what happens to swivel hooks. Because I can then swivel and turn without ever unscrewing myself from the ceiling and dropping stuff on your head, on account of I know you hate that. And I come with a buddy just like me-we're a matched set of swivel-style ceiling hooks in black-coated aluminum with 1/2" wide openings. And we come with a pair of wood screws plus a bonus set of 2-1/2" toggle bolts, in case the ceiling isn't up to doing its part.

The dark brown plastic, 1-11/16" squares with one corner cut off at a 45° angle are approx 1/16" thick, with a raised center square, a 9/16" hole in the center, and peel-off really-self-adhesive backing. For art projects, air vents for snake cages, wall plates for cable runs, or something. Please.

Vegetable Hook
Large plastic hook, pointed on one end, blunt on the other. We have no idea what it was made for. Some suggest a meat hook in a pet food factory, which the shape supports. But the red or white plastic suggests not. Maybe it is for veggies? A loyal reader is convinced that it goes over a door and bananas are hung from it. Sounds good to us. The blunt end is shaped to hang over a square beam, 1-1/4" or so thick. The other pointy end, when the hook is so hung, will be 3" from the beam top, and will point out 3" and up @ about 15°. The whole is made of 3/8" dia plastic rod. You figure out what to do with it.
