    International 56" toolbox questions

    I didn't see the 56" but I really like the 53" box I bought. I just checked Carquest's website and see that the box is more expensive in the US. I live in Canada and I paid $1595 Canadian - I see the same box is $1879 US. The decals that it shows on the boxes come "not" installed so you can put...

    International 56" toolbox questions

    I bought the 53" International box in February and I'm very happy with it. It seems to be well built and price was right. I bought mine from Carquest - they had a 53" and a 56" on sale at the time and I think they are still on sale now.

    need some direction for lighting and workbench countertop...

    A local scrap/surplus store here had a bunch of 4 x 8 sheets of 14 guage stainless that I bought for my countertop. The sheets were straight with some very light scratches (from handling it). I paid $160/sheet and the metal shops wanted about $400/sheet for 16 guage. Check around and you might...

    Garage Door Size

    Go with the biggest door you can afford - you won't regret it down the road. I built a garage last year and the difference in price between a 10' wide door and 12' wide door was about $120 so I put in the 12' doors. With that high of a ceiling I would go with a 12' or 14' high door if you ever...

    53" SPG International tool box at Carquest

    The Canadian flier is different then the US flier. The US flier has more of a selection of tool boxes in it. The funny thing about it is that the same identical black Hendrick Racing box is in both fliers and is almost $300 cheaper in the Canadian one. I don't like the Hendrick stickers (I'm...
