Abstract: An adapter by which a conventional paint marking stick that carries a can of spray paint to mark a roadway surface in need of repair is detachably connected to a conventional digital counter having at least one wheel to roll over the surface so as to measure the size thereof. The adapter includes a base with a pair of legs projecting outwardly therefrom in a first direction and a cylindrical post projecting outwardly from the base in an opposite direction. In the assembled relationship, the pair of legs of the adapter are slidably received within a hollow jacket that surrounds one end of the paint marking stick and the cylindrical post of the adapter is moved into an existing mounting collar of the digital counter. Accordingly, a workman in the field need only use a single hand to cause the paint marking stick to roll along the surface to be repaired while, at the same time, measuring the dimensions of the area and activating the can of spray paint to mark the outline of the area.

Abstract: An anti-electrostatic discharge (ESD) tool for engaging electronic device under test (DUT) boards whereby ESD damage to the tested devices is prevented. The tool includes an aluminum support frame, guides on opposing edges of one side of the frame for slidably receiving a DUT board, and at least one electrical shorting connector extending from the frame and electrically connecting and shorting socket connectors and leads of electronic devices when the DUT board is inserted into the guides. The electrical shorting connector preferably comprises an array of fine wire brushes which have sufficient rigidity and flexibility for engaging solder points on the DUT board for the socket connectors.
