The mindset that tools is what makes a mechanic. It's a way of problem solving, tools and working environment. And lots of experience. I have friends who buy a mini toolbox and call or text me day and night on how to solve their issues. They cant understand it takes more than a starter set of...

Use a bucket/tray of some sort.. I will save you time money and space.

Stahlwille for me please.. The rachets dont seem to me to be the best german made ones. But everything else i have from them seem superior for my usage. The sockets and i beam wrenches are light yet very very strong.. Before i noticed tool brands and became a tool fanboy, i always grabbed the...

There are no drawers. Or rails for them. The one you have found looks more usable.

The one you have found does have drawers.. Hmm.. Maybe i should put drawers in it then.

Mine doesn't even have drawers.. Later versions maybe did? I dont know if the founder's brother patented drawers in that cart design, as the Gedore cart came before it and is virtually identical.. Except for drawers maybe? So yes. It is not very handy. I still like it though. If for nothing...

Thank you.. It pays off to keep an eye out: they're both bought at our countrys version of craigslist. The tool set even had shipping including in the price. I've seen many others in here ****, so i figured it was my time:) Im very happy. I collect and use german tools. Especially if the...

The owner had FIAT letters on it.. I had to remove them. There are very few Fiat's worth wrenching on in my opinion. Here's one that hasnt been abused. it's not mine. Found online They're really oldschool, and hard to come by. And not really very handy when compared to modern designs. But...

Lol.. Took me a while before it got it:lol: I'll do wi dat cart what everyone would. Clean it, paint it, lube the moving parts and fill it with tools. The rubber band will be replaced with Sikaflix 221 or equivalent rubber paste that hardens when applied.

Yes 1/2

Wow.. I'm jealous.

Creative.. Good idea for special tools.

Hi guys. Finally it was my turn to make a great deal. 250 dollars for at Stahlwille tool set and Dowidat Trabant tool trolley:drool: The seller even threw in some extra goodies The tool trolley was standing in the rain when i bought it, so it is pretty banged up. A nice opportunity to...

Wauw.. Those guys are good (watched episode 1) I love the humour. Very british humour. Good find. The grinder crow and bench for the car are awesome. No less.

Do like me.. Find yourself a girl who has a horse.. They're expensive and time consuming. Just like my hobby:)

I've run my own shop until recently. Fixing cars and running a business is 2 different things, although one can't do without the other. Things go wrong. Parts don't show up. Customers refuse to pay, or try to avoid it. The customer will almost always try to get it as cheap as possible. Be...

I've been using Elance alot the last 3-4 years. My advice would be to know what you are looking for, and dont go for the cheapest route. On Elance, you often do get what you pay for. If you hire a company, make sure you have direct contact (skype) to the guy who is actualy doing the...

Yes. Theres a direct link between amount og german tools and happines in my life. The more tools, the more happy.

Unless you plan on using that 3'd area/bay for tools etc, permanently, you wont really have sufficient space for actually working on the cars.. I know because i spent my apprenticeship in a shop that size.. Barely could we work on 2 cars at the same time. Tools, tool carts, sink, work table...

What did your garage size research come up with since you came up with that specific size? Im curious as im about to embark on such a journey. Thanks
