    Anybody switching to cheaper tools?

    Yes I have but not for the reasons already mentioned. My current job has me working in a rough part of town and I know the insurance coverage for theft tops out at here.

    Tool box colors

    I have a Matco 5s in silver vein and it is awesome, you can’t even tell it’s dirty and finger prints don’t show up on it. I’ve always been fond of greys so it suits me very well.

    Building detached garage for auto lift with 15" peak limit

    I had the same height problem when I built my 28x32. What I ended up doing was just to put the hoist between the conventional trusses and box it into the ceiling. I knew going in that a variance would not be approved for added height. I can lift all cars and most suv’s to a comfortable working...

    Thanks for the replies. I’m putting it on my list of wants. Air isn’t an option in because I have to do a lot of repairs in the field and don’t have a compressor.
