Get a box of Nitrile gloves, I sometimes change my gloves a half dozen times in an hour but nothing beats having perpetually clean hands. It actually saves a bunch of time when I'm working on really greasy/dirty junk, pulling a dirty glove off is 10x faster than reaching for a semi clean rag just to smear grease around my fingers lol

You bet ya Canadian Zuk 3 new boxes on the bench now but ya i tend to go thru a lot peeling them off to do this and that put glasses on take glasses off etc then i sometimes dig back in and forget to put them on Arrrg clean hands and start over and it is super greasy in there I had a quick peak it looks like the case has split amazingly enough limped it into the shop grinding and crunching its definitely a Man Down situation.LOL NCT

Well the wife won't like it but if you have super tracks laying about you may need a quick Max adaption til Argo is healthy.

You would probably have to stack the extensions. Been on my to do list, but as the wife knows I don't read it and were in the 50's this week or so.

[North Country Tough]

Yea or track up the Superchief but I have entirely to much fun with it on tires on the icy driveway spin and puke.

[beagle man]

Hey, you guys are awesome. Its just like our Canadian friends to make a disaster sound fun lol. I spent my summers on Prince Edward Island fishing lobster, ground fishing, and raking moss. Family and friends could always make the hardest work and dirtiest things fun, hell if I wasn't so far away up in Alaska I would join the fun.
