Can you lend a hand?
"Has anyone used an attachment from Cascade called a Broke Paper Clamp Model #50C-BPK-SP. I need to know how well it works. It will be used to pick up loose paper and pushed into a shredder."
brad_t, United States

Idiot-proofing
"Some shops put blocks under the wheels to access the underside, and the truck could come off the blocks if the ignition key is engaged as the steer axle locking mechanism is deployed. Idiot-proofing a truck is difficult but three cheers to Toyota for trying."
