    I used the fixture and bulb combo listed below (quoted from the first post) for my 18 x 30 garage. My garage is finished out and painted white. I bought seven fixtures set up into two strips of three and a single right over my workbench. Very pleased with how it turned out. I don't currently...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Vise ID Help needed

    The more I think about it, you are right. Why is finding a used American made vise such a chore? I would be more than happy to get one that needs some cleaning up.

    Floor creepers?

    I have thought of that and the Bonester has lower profile wheel wells. I guess I should clarify, when I say "trucks", I mean pickups. Refer to my avatar for one of the two.
