Handheld Spray Paint Wand

So the other day I was with a group of friends making some banners for a local event. We all eagerly arrived with blank banners, spray paint and stencils. But after the first half hour the excitement started to die down as we were all suffering from aching fingers from the spray nozzle. We tried all sorts of things to relieve our aching fingers. We switched to the opposite hand, used our thumbs or stood back and insisted we were “supervising.” Then one of my friends had a novel idea. He walked to his car and got out his handheld spray paint wand. It was wonderful! He had just come from work and happened to have it in the back of his car. (I think it might have slightly backfired on him since we all stopped work and watched him spray paint.) The spray paint wand worked great! It was faster, easier and looked better. It got me to thinking, how many of our tools can be used in everyday circumstances. Has tools left in your car ever been a “lifesaver”? Please share your stories! I’d love to hear them!
