PhilD=> What experience have others had with these?

I have none, but my mechanic refuses to consider ever using them. 

=> BTW, shouldn't it be "bale" rather than "bail"?

Interesting point. According to my Webster's, the three English nouns 
spelled "bail" (vessel for removing water from a boat, temporary release, 
and securing half-loop) all derive from different languages 
(respectively, Latin, Middle French, and Norse). "Bale," in both its 
archaic "great evil" and modern "lump of pressed goods" senses, comes 
from Old German. So you're right, sort of: since it's of German origin, 
"bale" would match the car better. Too bad it describes something 
completely different. ;)
