Posted by Mike Bumbeck On May - 4 - 2009

twice_as_good1From the not once but twice department comes a double-feature edition Tool of the Week. First, the answer to an inevitable query ahead of time. What is up with the blue gloves? The answer is of course is two-fold. The latex-nitrile gloves are good safety against automotive chemicals, as well as the never-dry undercoat that Mitsubishi sprayed all over the underside of the Starion. The secondary use of the gloves is to keep tar, gunk, and corrosive chemicals off the camera. The gloves come off for camera adjustments while shooting the step-by-steps. Brake fluid and cameras are an unfortunate combination. The bonus installment for this week comes courtesy of Justice Brothers Car Care Products. JB-80 not only helps loosen easy to shear off items like the brake bleeder screw shown here, but is also Twice as Good® for helping separate rusted fasteners.
