[AT] Engine Heater and wiper arms

[Carl Szabelski]

I don’t have any problems like that around here. I always know where my
tools are... they’re either in the basement, the garage, the back of the
pickup, or wherever I used them last. I just have to locate the correct
pile of tools to find somethig.
