I have a few friends who have Mac Toolboxes as well and they've held up pretty well. Im not using it for professional use but want one thats going to last forever! Curious why arent you using it anymore? I believe reading somewhere if it start with a letter than number (example: V2) its an...

Im being told you can read the serial number to find out its age / manufacturing date? Is that true? Also noticed that model#'s are listed as MB1000 and MB1000A. Is the A the revised version of the Tech Series? Im debating on two Tech 1000's. I noticed that one has the chrome that goes over...

Its funny when I wasnt really looking I saw alot but as soon as I was ready and determined to buy one I dont see them. lol Funny how that works. Yea I keep looking daily but also due to work even if I found one for a deal I wouldnt be able to pick it up till later in the evening or weekends...

Yea not much people are Matco fans I can see. You are not the only one that mentioned there configuration. I really thought Snap On had a deep drawers so thats good to know. Thank you. Ill probably just stick with a Tech Series. Is that how much these used are going for? I believe Ill probably...

Thanks for the response. Good to know that the Tech is actually well built! I remember reading somewhere someone stated the Tech Series is equivalent to Craftsman which I found hard to believe. I mean Craftsman are great as well but compared to these companies there is no comparison from what...

Im currently in the market for a new toolbox as my existing is getting extremely full. This time around Im thinking of going with a Matco, Mac or Snap-On but confused on models so figured I ask here! Im debating on Mac Tech1000. Ive been told its well built for home use probably not for...

Thanks for the response. Ive been told that I need to replace the entire tracks, cables, drums, springs, etc by one company and another company is stating that I just need to change the tracks. Cables and springs and everything else is fine???? So which is it?

I think you did a good choice with the scissor lift. Those come very handy and Bendpak is a very good name. Congrats on it!

Is there anyone in Northern California that had theres done and reasonably priced they can refer me to?

I wish it did. Its only the parts and so far from the quotes its only the tracks and cable and thats it for around $500 - $600. The other guy who quoted $400 was just the labor and didnt speak to good english so I retract that quote.

Sorry for confusing some of you. Bad at multi-tasking! lol Anyways the garage door is going to stay the same height and as K'ledgeBldr stated Im wanting to convert my regular lifting height to a high lifting height. I just recently purchased a 4 Post lift and its coming this weekend so in order...

Does anyone know of a website where I can get the additional tracks to raise the garage door higher? Also is this something that is easy to do or should I get a professional involved? I did some researching and called around and getting quotes from about $400 - $600 with parts. That seems a...

Thats where I was thinking of purchasing it. Does that amount showing on the website include shipping? It doesnt really specify. Also tryin to see if there is anyone else selling them for a bit less???

Hi after some researching I narrowed down my choices to Direct Lift or Dannmar. I would love to get a Bendpak HD-7P but dont want to spend that much on a lift and also its only 220 VAC. Would like to stay 110. Anyways can people on here chime in on the Direct Lift and the Dannmar Lifts. Dannmar...
