    Raising 7' high garage door to 8'

    It's a tractor. My Deere 5625 won't fit in the 9' doors on my machine shed, so she lives under a covered structure that doesn't have any walls. 90" is a relatively low cab height for a utility-class machine, btw.

    Battery Jump Box - NOCO is a no-go

    When my neighbor's Deere 4720's battery failed, I went over there with my JNC 660, and it couldn't get it to turn over. Warm late summer day. That Deere has a 2.4l 60hp diesel. Went back to my place and grabbed the NOCO GB70, and she started right up. Twice actually, since he inadvertently...

    What size BTU mini-split for high ceiling garage?

    Two heads better than one. Ceiling fan in the taller section. Blockout window coverings, even if they're just heavy roller shades will help. But IMO, you're going to be asking a lot for a system to drop temps by 15F on demand.

    How could folding utility knives be improved?

    I've got one of these: Pretty sure it was given to me. It's one of the worst knives I have ever used. It lives out in the machine shed for emergency use only. I think the most offensive thing about it, is how friggin slippery it is.

    tools to keep in the vehicle

    Toyota? 10mm socket. Some screw drivers. Gorilla tape. Zip ties. Flashlight or headlight. Adjustable wrench. Needle nose. Maybe a battery booster pack if you wanna get fancy. And a cheapie code reader. I dunno. A massive tool set seems like waste of space and excess weight in the vehicle.
