    Floor jacks for...you know..a taller vehicle?

    Has the OP decided on a jack? I'm also looking for something with more lift. I was looking at the long arm bottle jack (35" of lift) and the Torin hybrid (23" of lift). I'm also trying to not spend a fortune but in the end I might go over HF and get the yellow Daytona. Blackhawk BH2045 4 Tons...

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Lets see your Tool Carts/Service Carts

    Nothing fancy but it works. Got this at Target for around $20 a couple of years ago. Not big but pretty sturdy. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Show off your Jack(s)

    You guys have some sweet looking jacks. I actually came up on this thread because I'm looking for an addition to mine. I need something with more lift than my current set up. Not to mention that it has finally started to leak after 20+ years! Never serviced... because I ****. My current is a...

    Pros and Cons of a wood or metal garage?

    I see some of both, more wood but that's because the builder adds a detached garage as an upgrade. As far as dimensions go, I already have all those since I had to play Tetris with my previous 3 car garage. I won't have much in this one. Snap on rollaway- 4ft, work bench- 6ft, Gladiator cabinet-...

    Pros and Cons of a wood or metal garage?

    That is the plan. I actually got the idea from a neighbor who has that set up. It was very comfortable in his shop. My doors would be on the north and an southsides to accommodate our winds that come from the south about 2/3 of the year. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Pros and Cons of a wood or metal garage?

    I have one legit quote for a wood building (build on site), the others were prefab (wood). I was quoted at 16k with vinyl siding, 9x7 garage door and two small windows with the slab. I still need to add the wiring and ramp from the driveway. Still working on getting more quotes. Sent from my...

    Pros and Cons of a wood or metal garage?

    That's nice. Looks like a 40x50? Way out of my price range though. I do plan to build a loft on the far end for storage. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Pros and Cons of a wood or metal garage?

    Wood is my first choice also. I guess that I was hoping to hear some great reasons why metal is better so I could talk myself out of spending more on a wood building but cost savings seems to be the only upside. I already measured out where I want it and am pretty sure how everything will...

    Pros and Cons of a wood or metal garage?

    I don't have the time to build it myself, I need it sooner than later so I will pay someone else to do it. The metal buildings are less than half of a comparable made out of wood. Which is why I'm on the fence about this. Insulation will come later and A/C will be much later unless the ceiling...

    Pros and Cons of a wood or metal garage?

    There is an HOA but there are others with metal buildings in the neighborhood. They are not big and they are all well behind the fence. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Pros and Cons of a wood or metal garage?

    20x24 is the same sqft as 16x30. With a 16x30 I still get about 4ft on each side to work on the truck and another 10x16 area for my workbench and tool boxes. I'm willing to go a few feet deeper to get that extra room if needed. I plan to put one or two of the bikes in the attached garage with...

    Pros and Cons of a wood or metal garage?

    A 30x40 would be nice but I'm space and funds limited. The area is about 38 ft wide minus the setback which is 10 ft (maybe 5 but I don't want it that close) and the space between the garage and house which I want to be around 10ft also. So that leaves me with 18ft if my measurements are...

    Pros and Cons of a wood or metal garage?

    Hey everyone. I have been a member for a few years but I have been MIA for sometime due to life keeping me busy. I just moved to Florida and will close on a house in about two weeks. I want to add a detached garage soon after we close. I'm looking at a 16x30'ish garage. It will be used to garage...

    Picked up a used snap on box few questions about cleaning it up

    Nice find. I have an older one, not sure what model it is, but it's a beast, very heavy duty. I sanded it down and put a few coats of paint to match my decor. It has some dents but I'm not too worried about that. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Harbor Freight Jack Stands OK?

    I have used two Craftsman 2 1/4 ton jacks for the past 20 years without an issue. I recently bought two of their 3 ton jacks because I needed the height for my truck not because of the weight. I also leave the jack in place as a back up. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    This is Foxy. She's a Queensland Heeler mixed with an American Eskimo. She just lays under the truck and keeps an eye out while I work in the garage. She will be 3 in October. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
