    Matco Side Locker price check

    I have a hutch on my box and he said he has the kit to mount the box if I didn't have a hutch and will include that also. I was told by the matco guy that I have what is now the 6s box. I just texted him and asked for the model number.

    Matco Side Locker price check

    I have been looking for a blue matco side locker for my triple bay. The lockers seldom seem to be posted on CL and even more rare in my color of blue. I found a guy selling a 3 year old locker that is 20Wx25Deepx55 high with two drawers and two shelves. He is asking 700 for it. Does anyone...

    What weight rating do you guys recommend for a lift?

    I went with a 10k 2 post lift for my garage. After looking at the 10K and the smaller capacity lifts side by side I felt the 10K was worth the extra couple hundred dollars. I also figured if I get a bigger truck in the future I won't have to upgrade my lift.

    used boxes

    I found my triple bay matco box on CL. I looked for a while for the right box for the right price. I missed 2 because they sold so fast. Like someone else said you may need to expand your search. I looked in most of PA, NJ and DE and finally found my box in DE.

    Wives and tools - anyone else honest?

    I tell my GF how much I spend on my tools. Half the time I am using them to fix her car so she understands. Plus a single purse she buys costs more then about half of the tools filled in the drawers of my tool box.

    How bright is your shop?

    In my 40x40 garage with 12 foot walls I have 15, 8 foot long t5 fixtures. Each light holds 4 t5 HO bulbs that are 2900 lumens each and 5000K in color. All my walls and celling is white so it is pretty much like a tanning salon in there. I have work lights/drop lights near my lift for working...

    thaghost87 Feedback Thread

    I purchased 4 new Matco items from thaghost87 and he was quick to respond to all my questions and help me along with the buying process. Once I sent payment he let me know that he received it and then sent me a tracking number the next day. Great seller to do business with.

    Tire changer and balance machine

    I went to auctions around here for almost 3 years trying to find a cheap tire machine and balancer and every time they went for crazy amounts of money and were normally older then 5 years and looked pretty beat up. I used auctionzip to find the auctions and people always seem to run the prices...

    Tire changer and balance machine

    Funny you posted this. A similar thing happened to me. A bunch of my friends work at some big chain stores and some small shops. They always did my tires for me for free and I would throw them some cash or beer. Last year all of a sudden they couldn't do them for free and I ended up paying...

    4 Post Lift...Rolling it out of garage?

    My ramps are 37inches and a few of my cars are slammed to the ground and I don't have any issues getting it on. But I guess it really depends on how long your front end is after your wheel.

    4 Post Lift...Rolling it out of garage?

    I actually assembled my first 4 post lift outside and then rolled it in. It was not that hard but having two people did help.
