    WARNING: DO NOT BUY IRONITE Coatings!!!

    Just Lay PERGO over entire surface.... Come on, guys... a garage has got to look like you actually fix/make or repair things, or it is not a garage. NICE environment is fine, but get that chandelier out of there, and put the gas area furnace back in ! As far as floor coatings, I have seen...

    Metal Garage shelves

    If I may suggest; Lozier store fixture wall units. The same thing that makes the aisles of shelving at Krogers.... but single-sided. You can put a tremendous amount of weight on the shelves. FAR easier to adjust shelving than any other approach. PLUS, each section has pegboard backing. Go to...

    C-Tech Aluminum Toolboxes and custom trailer - garage equipment.... anyone seen ?

    Stanley ( VidMAr ) is awesome, but one of their chests would weight in at more than the van.... so I am interested in light weight, yet strong.... Never heard of Equipto... will look at that, too. American Van is like Weathergard and Adrian..... very 1950s...... outmoded stuff, imho. I will...

    What is your opinion about ProSoap hand cleaner.

    MEAN GREEN and PROSOAP are one in the same.... awesome product. 1. It does not melt-down like Go-Jo and many other auto part store or supermarket hand cleaners. The stuff stays stabile. You can get small empty jars at a pharmacy and make pocket sized containers for the car or van. 2. Your...

    C-Tech Aluminum Toolboxes and custom trailer - garage equipment.... anyone seen ?

    I posted in wrong forum before, allow me to do-over: I am seeking to outfit a van, and found C-Tech or CTECH of Wisconsin. They are one of few producers of all-aluminum tool chests, as well as custom cabinetry for race trailers and vans, as well as garages and promo stuff for Harley, Cell...

    Hansen Socket Organizers?

    how about old skool: Pegboard, with a tag on the hook, so you know what was removed ? Make a "bulleten board" with pegboard back, and you can lock it shut. Now you freed up a few drawers in your tool chest, AND you have a hook for every size.... no fooling with holders that have overlap in...

    Drill/ Impact Combo Suggestions?

    I got the 7 piece set, which included the impact driver, the driver-drill, circular saw, angle grinder flashlight and demo saw..... The ONLY tool of the bunch that was a total dissapointment was the Angle Grinder. The dedicated driver is not what you might be wanting for automotive work...

    Difference between Cman griplatch and regular ball bearing?

    I went to Sears, looked at the boxes, and walked out, totalyl dissapointed. Kudos for the concept of the GripLatch, none for the execution. 3 of the drawers on floor model jiggled open. I was considering using them in my van. Found a product with a tilting front that is an all-aluminum box...

    Tools for posing

    Generally Speaking, Professionals do not buy much at HD or Lowes. The quality of the building materials and tools is lacking. The place is aimed at the apartment complex industry ( handyman type folks that make money repeating the same job every 6 months ) and public. Those who care only about...

    Toolbox Manufacturers

    Please add Vidmar; Division of Stanley And note that Waterloo makes SOME of Sears boxes, not all Stanley boxes sold in Target and other retail giants are generally imports. Brand Name Slap Ons make it easy to get a low grade product bearing a "famous" name.... Home Depot and Lowes did this...
