    Looking at buying house with detached garage w/no electric....how hard to run power?

    Run 100a from house. It's only 25' and a 100a panel with lots of spaces is probably the same as a 60a. Now you've future proofed the garage for very little extra expense.

    New toolbox selection

    I've had the US General from HF for about a year. Couldn't be happier. Lots of room, drawers work great fully loaded. Only problem is it's so heavy I had to pay to have it shipped. Wait for it to be on sale for $999. I also have 2 of their 44" boxes, also excellent.

    Home Depot Husky vs HF General

    I bolted two HF 44's together and put a 1" butcher block top on them. Great workbench and great storage. I left the castors on so I could move it if I need too.
