    MAC semi-deep sockets - still made in the states?

    Not sure of your question. Are you looking to make sure the Mac sockets are USA made or looking for cheaper off shore ones? Or hoping to find American made quality for Walmart prices?

    New Garage Condo Project - Ventura California

    One thought that may be convenient is a centralized compressed air system with distribution to each unit. Provide this as with any other utility. Would have the advantage of less space and noise compared to each unit bringing in whatever compressors they have.

    Garage Door Width - 2 10' doors or 1 20' door

    ^^^^THIS^^^ You get spoiled by a single large door. Easier to "center" the car for clearance all around when you're going to work on it as well.

    external torx socket set
