Been pondering this for a while http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=217640 Just got back from closing, now I just need to get done with work so I can start the clean-up and then set-up! P.O. was closing shop and I got all the "stuff" you see inside for an extra $500, seemed pretty...

Ok, please don't shoot me, I know there's been a lot of screwdriver discussion recently, and I've read through most of them. I'm wanting to upgrade my screwdrivers soon from the Craftsman Hard-Handles I have, and get a little more diversity (somehow I ended up with 2 or 3 of the standard size...

Hi all, I'm in the process of purchasing a garage, and one of the things the previous/current owner is leaving for me is a Nugier H40-7 press. As far as I can see Nugier has a great reputation around here, but looks like they are no longer around. It looked like they had this press with a...

SOLD Selling off some duplicates and stuff I don't need anymore. Sockets are all deep 3/8 drive 6 point. 3/8", 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17. The 3/8 appears to be an older part, but still in great shape. All sockets show signs of use, one or two have light owners marks, but all are in very usable...

So the other night I was polishing my sockets (ok ok I was actually using some of them, I know that's frowned upon) and noticed my 18mm shallow Craftsman had a crack near the edge, coinciding with an off-center broaching (oddly I had the same thing on a snap-on deep, so even the best screw up...

Hello all, I'm in the process of buying a commercial garage that already has a 2-post lift. I know there's a lot of discussion around here about proper slab for a lift, and my question is, is there any way to find what it already is? i.e. would the city/county have a record of what was on the...

Some of you may have seen my recent thread on purchase of a garage. One of the things I am most excited about here is that the garage already has a 2-post Eagle lift. Per my research here Eagle is a respectable, though not "high-end", brand lift. I have used lifts in the past but never...

Hi everyone, I have recently come accross an interesting opportunity to purchase a "commercial" garage. I have been planning for some time to have a 30x40 garage built on my land next to the house. The garage that is available is basically that size (29x38 I think?) but has an additional...

Hello all, I am currently getting some quotes to add a 30x40 shop/garage. I think the 30x40 dimension is going to be my max (and I'm hoping to get away with that) based on various rules from the city as well as having some of my lot in a flood plane (the perfect place to build of course is in...

Ok folks... Time has come to replace the hard brake lines on my Jeep and I'm thinking this is an opportunity to invest in some quality flare wrenches for the job. I've pretty much decided that I want to go with Snap-On, but am open to suggestions if anyone thinks that some other brand is going...

I was at Sears over the weekend, looking for Hansen socket trays and struck out.. but did find a Sort-A-Tool, which I'd read positive reviews of on here, and thought I'd give it a try. Got it loaded up last night, and along with a couple of other things gained a full drawer! Also I now know...

Hi folks, Just a nice general question here. I have an older house that unfortunately has the driveway sloping down into the garage. During a hard rain I'll get a pool of water right at the entrance, about the middle of the door. What's the best way to solve this type of problem short of a...

I did a search for this and looked on sticky but only really found this http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2232 What I have been looking for is a way of identifying what tools are "best" for a function, but overall what brands are acceptable. Example Tool: 3/8 Ratchet Best...
