Three Ulsa Shop Tools Worth a Look: Paint Pens, a Magnetic Reach Tool, and a 15-Tool Silicone Holder

Introduction

Ulsa has been quietly building out a small range of practical workshop accessories, and three of them stand out for everyday shop use: a set of oil-based permanent paint pens, a gooseneck magnetic reach tool with a light, and a 15-tool silicone magnetic holder for the bench. None of these are flashy power tools. They are the kind of low-cost, high-convenience items that earn their spot on the workbench because they solve small, recurring problems cleanly. This roundup looks at what each one does well and who it makes sense for.

Quick Evaluation Criteria

For this kind of accessory, the things that matter most are:

• Practicality: does it solve a real bench or garage problem without adding fuss?
• Ease of use: simple design, minimal setup, no learning curve.
• Versatility: more than one use case per purchase.

All three products below score well on those points, each in a different way.

Ulsa Oil-Based Paint Pens

These are oil-based permanent paint markers, and they are a different animal from ordinary marker pens. Four colors are available, and the key trick is how they handle engraved or recessed markings on tools. You fill the indentation with paint, let it settle, then gently wipe across the surface with a cloth. The excess comes off, the paint stays down in the recess, and you are left with a crisp, clean highlight that makes faded tool markings readable again. The technique takes a couple of passes, and how polished the result looks depends on how much time you want to spend refining it.

They are equally useful as genuine permanent markers. Writing directly onto surfaces with paint works well for marking fluid quantities on vehicles, labeling ownership on tools, or noting service details such as oil capacity with filter. There is a metal mixing ball inside the barrel, which helps keep the pigment consistent. If you have used paint markers before, you will find these behave the same way with good flow control.

Ulsa Gooseneck Magnetic Reach Tool with Light

The gooseneck reach tool combines three handy functions in one slim body: a flexible neck you can bend to hold any angle, a powerful magnet at the tip for grabbing dropped screws and small metal parts, and an LED light so you can actually see into the dark gap you are reaching into. Batteries are included and accessed via screws, and the overall design is admirably simple. Form the neck in the direction you want, illuminate the target, and pull the part out.

This is the sort of tool you do not think about until the moment a fastener disappears behind an engine bay panel or down between bench parts. Then it becomes the most valuable thing on the bench. Anyone who works in tight, poorly lit spaces will get immediate use from it.

Ulsa 15-Tool Silicone Magnetic Holder

The silicone tool holder is a wide, rubberized cushioned strip with slots for up to 15 tools. Strong magnets in the base mean it can be mounted onto a metal surface or simply sat on a bench, and once placed it holds confidently. Tools drop into the slots and stay put, and the magnets hold enough weight for significant hand tools without shifting around. The rubberized cushion protects tool finishes while keeping everything within easy reach.

Pricing and availability have not been announced yet, but the concept is promising. It works well as fixed bench storage, and it is easy to imagine a mobile tool storage solution built around the same idea. If you like keeping your most-used tools visible and organized rather than buried in a drawer, this is the one to watch.

Overall Buying Advice

These three accessories complement each other rather than compete. The paint pens are the easiest recommendation: they are inexpensive, immediately useful, and serve both restoration-style marking and practical labeling. The gooseneck reach tool earns its place for anyone who works around engines, machinery, or cluttered benchtops where small parts vanish. The silicone holder is the least proven of the three since pricing and availability are still unconfirmed, but if the strong magnetic hold holds up in person, it is a genuine upgrade over piles of loose wrenches.

Buying Advice

A simple way to decide: if you restore, mark, or label tools and parts regularly, start with the paint pens. If you lose small metal parts in dark spaces on a regular basis, the reach tool will pay for itself the first time. If you are reorganizing a bench and want visible, protected tool storage, wait for the holder to become available and grab it when it is.

Conclusion

Ulsa’s small-shop range covers marking, retrieval, and storage with three simple, well-thought-out accessories. The paint pens offer permanent marking and clean engraved highlights in four colors, the gooseneck reach tool pairs a strong magnet with a light for dark-corner retrievals, and the 15-tool silicone holder brings strong magnetic bench organization. None of them demand a big investment or a steep learning curve, which is exactly what good shop accessories should do.
