Inventions I'd like to see

Post by ironhorse » Sat Jun 03, 2023 5:05 pm

I was at a friends house and he showed me his new "lift chair" that got me thinking how about a "lift creeper". I have noticed lately they seem to be making them closer to the ground and therefore harder to rise from. While were at it why not a screwdriver with a big soft handle? :twisted:

Mack

"lift creepers" are already a "thing". All you have to do is whip out the credit card!

One invention I would like to see is a time machine so we could go back in time to buy NOS parts for our T's.

A low creeper helps you go under the T without jacking up the T. To get up from the creeper, use the running board or fender to pull up. I am not sure that one in the video is low enough to go under without jacking. Of course, the size of the person going under makes a difference too.

I can think of a lot of good applications for that time machine. Imagine
a hiring pool of people who actually want to work, nevermind the ten-year-
-old Packards I would like to buy in 1930-35 ...
More people are doing it today than ever before !

Burger; wait until 1946 and invest $10.00 in the IPO for the 3M Company.

The biggest problem with the time machine is that we could all go back to see what Mr. Ford actually put on his cars. A whole lot of "experts" might be sadly embarrassed!
