Wow! I had caps from several bottles trying to roll of the bench just the other day. What a time and aggravation saver; no matter which side they land on, they're always ready and the pointed ends keep them from sliding around the bench. I wonder if some steel tubing would work too. Any thoughts?

[@jimbusmaximus4624]

I don't know, steel tubing would ensure proper airflow to the inside of the cap! That's a fantastic idea, and the type of critical thinking that keeps a handyman safe. But is the tubing strong enough for those heavy duty caps on the INDUSTRIAL strength loctite caps? They're heavier and have a metal belt inside.

[@TheSteelArmadillo]

Did some testing and came to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter if you use tube or solid rod. If the caps are spinning at any speed, the stands tend to go flying almost immediately, so there’s not much time for it to provide ventilation. Better to ensure the stand is sturdy, tall, and wide enough to hold up even the large caps.

[@jimbusmaximus4624]

@@TheSteelArmadillo that's what I was concerned about. Loctite caps (especially the industrial sized ones that the company uses,) can be VERY heavy when you're working at full speed and I'd want the strength of solid steel. It is a brilliant idea though!

You can also put a container with a trap door under the back of your car. The trap door has a pull pin connected to a string. The string will follow a series of pulleys and end up in the users preferred area (within arms reach) of the drivers seat. The container will hold these metal doo dads and will be dropped when the string is pulled and the trap door is opened. The doo dads will fall out and render the car behind the operator immobile. The more numerous the doo dads, the increased likelihood that one will in fact puncture the target vehicles tire(s). The operator should not reverse his or her vehicle after deployment to avoid inflicting a popped tire upon himself. When the victim of the popped tire pulls over and has to use super glue to fix his popped tire, he can use the cap holder so as to not lose his cap.
