First - My family has my focus ALL the time and not just "MOST of the time". But hey, to each their own! ;) Second - Really sad how some just assume that guys are the only ones into cars. My wife is actually the car crazy person in our family. The garage will be for family and friends to...

Thanks, everyone! The photos definitely have given me some ideas to consider. Generally speaking though, the area will be decorated with oil and gas items. Signs, cans, pumps, and so forth. Wanting the area to complement a couple of cars we have, while still having a social area. I think...

Thanks! I'll check out your site.

Nice! That does give me a few ideas. I appreciate the photo, thank you!

Getting ready to move into our new place and am needing some ideas. I have a 3-car attached garage, that I would like to turn into a man/car cave of some sort. Cars will not be housed in this space on a regular basis, but I would like the option to pull cars into if needed, with just a little...

I put this in the wrong section, sorry about that!

That's what I was wondering Monte, thanks.

Thanks for the tip alberto! Has anyone tried something like this with the classic handles? What I'm asking is, will the handles hold up to the chemicals? I guess I can live with the bar code, as for the most part I see tools as something just to make my life easier. I just like things a...

I just received mine yesterday. I'm pretty happy so far and they seem top quality, but time will tell though. I will say, the Swiss grip handles rock IMO! Not sure if just lucky or if PB Swiss has addressed the smell thing, as my classics don't smell. Now the non ratcheting bit holder does...

So true!

I guess I would have to say when I inherited my Dad's tools 30 years ago. I was just to young to appreciate them at the time. Glad I never sold any through the years. Of course, this site has helped some too!

Picked up a two sets. Will post pictures when they come in.

Thanks upgrading! Just picked up 3 sets for my sons.
