    HF Icon is more expensive than expensive brands !

    I figured Sunex was pro since my local pro uses Sunex. IF good enough for a shop, good enough for my using is once a year

    Icon vs. matco flex head ratchet wrenches.

    Not the same wrenches. Matco looks like it has teeth And the angle of the open ended is more slanted

    Automotive battery chargers

    At $400, I'd rather just buy a new one for $15 every 2 years. It would take 26 years and they should not break so often. I have some old battery charger that is from the 80s, I think. Works great, just had to replace the clamps for a few bucks

    Can I put elevated shelving above the space where my jack and jack stands are?

    Good examples of hanging! I liked the plywood idea. I think I will use this as an opportunity to build some kind of shelf

    Such thing as "short" jackstands? (To jack to a low height)

    My 3 ton jackstands are 11" off the ground. This is way too high just to do a tire change. Any way to get like 8" jackstands?

    How do you label your impact sockets?

    I don't have a socket rail. I keep my 12mm to 22mm impact deep sockets in a small box. I'd like to paint the numbers on the side. Or get stickers. They aren't used that often, so not worried about numbers wearing off. How do you label your impact sockets?

    Can I put elevated shelving above the space where my jack and jack stands are?

    I have limited garage space. Wasted storage potential is where I park my floor jack and jack stands. That 2x2 space of floor is used, but the air above it is totally wasted volume. I basically need a 30-32" wide shelf that has has 24" of clearance underneath. Like a shelf that is missing...

    Worst advice on this thread. Buying a $400 wrench set makes no sense.

    Why esco 10499 ? How is it different than a basic entry level 3-ton for $25?

    Such thing as "short" jackstands? (To jack to a low height)

    Putting them on the jack points. Often I need to jack the car 2x as high just to get the stands under the jack point.
