Shop essentials hand-picked by GCM
Mi-T-M Job Pro 2000 psi Pressure Washer
Why it’s cool: While we hate to anger the dirt gods, your equipment needs to be kept clean to work properly. With 2,000 psi, caked-on mud and sand doesn’t stand a chance.

Medtronic Lifepak CR plus AED
Why it’s cool: You don’t have to be a doctor — or even stay at a Holiday Inn Express — to operate an automated external defibrillator. And it’s a good feeling to save someone from a heart attack. It’s an even better feeling when that person that gets saved is you.

Jerry the cat
Why he’s cool: Got seed? Then you’ve probably got mice. But not for long, when you get a four-legged friend like Jerry, the shop cat at Alvamar CC in Lawrence, Kan. Not only is he friendly, he also helps keep unwanted pests out of the shop.

Mr. Coffee Grind & Brew Coffee Maker
Why it’s cool: Like Tom Lively, CGCS at Medinah CC once told us, you won’t make it long in this industry without coffee.
