Sometimes when you're working on your car, the havoc you create along the way can be worse than the actual repair you set out to do. For example, to get those last nuts off the water pump, you're doing some serious reaching into the engine compartment. You're stretching, scooting and flopping over the side of your car while you try to increase your reach. Unfortunately you have a screwdriver in your pocket, and now you've destroyed the paint on your fender. Ouch!
That's why it's always a good idea to use protection. A fender cover like this Craftsman product can save a lot of money and heartache, not to mention ridicule from your friends. You can work on your car bareback if you like, but one accident and things will never be the same.
