Tool Tip #3: Power from Above

Not countable the number of times that I would be working midstream against the vast 16' expanse of my Wayne Dalton garage door and need to plug in a power tool.  That would require obtaining and running an extension cord out to one of the walls.  No more.  Now when the door is lowered I have power from above, a permanent 3-outlet extension cord attached to the door with nylon cable clamps and plugged into a receptacle at the side of the door.  This cord can be draped to follow and clear the door movement or plugged in and removed as needed.  Hardly a day goes by that it is, indeed,  needed.
