Ok, now I understand. It is not a toolbox type setup. It is metal storage cabinetry. The name of your company suggests the idea of toolboxes, or tool storage, but that is not it at all. It appears others here, including myself thought they were toolboxes.

Agreed, the looks are great. However, the website is sorely lacking any detailed pics and especially interior layouts, etc.... Looks like you get a shiny box, but , what can that box do, what can it store, what is it's function??? Art is one thing, usefulness is quite another. I'm not bashing...

Well, according to the website, the only lime green boxes are the lighter weight models by other manufacturers. I just need tool storage, but my kids love the lime green color. Oh well....

Shannon, thank you for the follow up! I have kept checking back to keep updated. Glad to see quality customer service in action. Now, if only the Extreme Elite came in the Lime Green color..........

And it sounds like that is likely to be the best solution. It is obvious that the company is done talking about it.

Oh no, say it ain't so, a project with Simpson metal in it failed! Then, rather than figure out what went wrong, they put more Simson metal in it. Unbelievable! Instead of using common sense building practices that have been around for, oh, I don't know, at least a few centuries, they decide a...

Unfortunately, you cannot span 40' with conventional framing without at least 1 center longitudinal support/beam, but probably 2. Personally I do not like using spindly little 2x4 and 2x6 trusses. The collapse potential is real. I know they are engineered, but that always assumes perfect...

In the spirit of fairness, and giving credit, where credit is due, here is an update; Several days ago, I called Mohawk themselves, and spoke to a gentleman there by the name of Ray. I explained everything to him, and he said he would see what could be done. He has been on the road several days...

Tearoff as mentioned will be easy. In 25 years as a contractor/builder/woodworker, I have yet to see a plywood roof have to be taken off for anything other than rot from water damage. Regarding metal roofing, do not use the screw down for anything short of a barn, where an occasional leak here...

Well, I tried Rotary twice today. The inside guy is on vacation, and the regular phone system kept me on hold for 5 minutes each time before I gave up. They are more inaccessable than Mohawk

I have spoken to several people at Mohawk, though none have identified themselves as the owner, and they have yet to follow through with getting back to me. I watched the video, and went to Rotary's website. However, they don't want to provide any specifics on their equipment without me first...

John, funny you mention Rotary. My Mohawk dealer is also the Rotary dealer. I wonder if they have a "protected network" as well. I have decided that TT does not deserve, and will not get a dime of my money. I was specific about Mohawk, because of the build quality being the best I have been able...

Well, the Mohawk guy said he would get back to me by end of day yesterday, but I haven't heard from him yet. However, not 3 hours after contacting him, the Total Tool salesman who had all but disappeared, fired off a new email quote with the "revised pricing" to the tune of $1400.00 more than...

I decided that a used machine might be just fine, and started poking around and found several that would meet my requirements. A few of them only 5-10 years old, so I called Mohawk today, to inquire about how or what the warranty is on a used machine, and if I can get parts for them direct, or...

An odd story; I contacted Mohawk and/or Total Tool via their websites back in early October, as I was interested in a 12-16k 2 post lift and pricing. The sales rep from Total Tool who is THE- as in the only dealer **"allowed" to sell to me in their **"protected dealer network" called me, and we...

I wonder if there is more to the story, or if Shannon will weigh in? I need a toolbox soon, and figured this a great place to do some research. This sounded like a very good option, until the end here.

A solid 1 3/4" wood door used to, and pretty sure still does meet the fire code, which should be a 20 minute rating for house to garage. The 1 3/4" really only applies to the stiles and rails, as the panels are usually thinned down where they are captured in the stiles and rails. Your best bet...
