Nice. If you don't mind, what did it cost to have an electrician do it? I'm looking to add a sub panel to my detached garage and have no idea what something like this would cost.

I have a battery powered 18V Ryobi unit and it has lasted several years. No complaints about it.

Thanks for the info everyone! To answer a few questions. The garage door does appear to be insulated. So that's a good start. Everything appears to be made from 2x4 including the rafters. So I may take things in stages to getting the garage updated, starting with adding fiberglass to the...

Hello All. I purchased my first house over the summer and it has a detached non-insulated garage. I'm in Illinois and with the past two weeks of having sub-zero temperatures, pretty much anything water-based in my garage has frozen solid. Makes it a little rough to work on stuff. LOL. So...

I sold mine about a 1-2 years ago for $500. It looked just like the one in the picture above, with no accessories other than the bridge.

Why not look at a roll-up style door like most business/auto shops have? There wouldn't be any wasted ceiling space with that.

That's nothing new. I had a lift by a company called Kwik Lifts which was the same concept. I found that it worked a whole let better on older cars which had frames, rather than unibody cars due to the jacking points if you needed to take the wheels off while on the lift.

I have an older Motiv power bleeder that I've used on my VW GTI. Worked perfectly.

This is my recent acquisition. Got it free from a co-workers father who was just going to get rid of it. :thumbup: Just needs a little clean up and a repaint on the bottom.

Interesting. I used a 20% coupon and a free item coupon in the same order at the store. They, however, wouldn't let me use two free item coupons on the same order. I had to split it up into two separate purchases.

What socket organizers are those? I haven't seen that kind before.

I stopped by there again today and was able to pick up a few misc sockets, 1 flare wrench, and a couple of SAE nut drivers. I would like to have gotten a few more metric flex sockets but they were pretty picked over. Thanks for the pointers on where to look!

I just paid a visit to my Sears and they didn't have anything on clearance. And their idea of a "sale" on the other items was $1 off regular price. :mad:

Not to side-track the thread, but what is a good tool for bending brake lines? I have a tool like in the link below, but I'm not crazy about it. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GKEXS4/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Haha. Stacey is a guy..
