    Snap On Classic SS

    Can't really go bigger unless your Industrial rep really likes you. Mine said he'd get me whatever I wanted out of the catalog but I went with the SS. Best 2K I ever spent

    Having a pole barn built this summer...

    DC is very close to my hometown. They have built quite a reputation in the last few years for some of the jobs they have done. But definately get more quotes. They do good work but are often high.

But I was just asking what the best arranged shop people had been in. I've been in several and worked in quite a few...
