I'm hoping someone out there can give me the circumference of the grip / handle on a Milwaukee M12 tool. I'm looking at getting some M12 tools for my mother, but she has small hands which gives her trouble gripping most cordless tools. The M12 series is supposed to be fairly compact, but I...

I'm being fairly heavily recruited by maintenance supply company called Kimball Midwest. The job is outside sales for shop supplies, tools, etc... I'd be interested in the collective opinion of the company from the Garage Journal crew. Thanks.

I don't do much welding or fab work, but I do work in a shop with a concrete floor that I stand on all day. Most of the guys in the shop (myself included) just wear some kind of tennis shoe. Nike, Under Armor, etc... Something that is comfortable to stand in for 8-10 hours at a stretch...

I want to figure out how much of a difference the temperature of the ambient air makes in the temperature of the compressed air my compressor produces. If I move compressor from outside (100 degrees ambient) to inside (70 degrees ambient) what kind of reduction in compressed air temperature...

Anyone tried truck bedliner on their garage floor? I was thinking of doing the area under my lift with it.

15 months ago I bought my first garage. Rumor is that there is also a house somewhere on the property, but I couldn't swear to it. Anyway, it's kind of a strange shape. It began life back in 1991 as a single car detached. In 2008, the single car was turned into an office, and a 3 car...

I just bought and installed a 9000 lb. Atlas 2 post lift. I noticed something sort of disturbing last night while in the garage. The columns twist slightly when I pick up my 95 K1500 truck. It's not a lot of movement, but I hate the idea of the columns reacting to the weight in anyway...

Finished up the install on my new lift this Saturday. I've never had a lift before, and after much reading I ended up choosing an Atlas 9000 lb. 2 post lift, part number OH9000. I chose this lift because it was direct drive, and seemed to be a good value for the dollar. Shipping was super...

I'm working on installing a 2 post lift. I'm curious what you guys would use for a torque spec on the 3/4 inch concrete anchors that hold the base plates to the floor. Lift is a 9000 lb. Atlas, model number OH9000.

I just ordered a 9000 lb. Atlas lift from Greg Smith Equipment. I went with the OH9000, details can be found here: http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/2-Post-Lifts I chose this lift because I wanted one that was direct drive, as opposed to chain over hydraulic. I've never had a lift before...

I'm sure this has been beat to death and back on this forum, but buying a lift is a big investment for me and I want to make sure I get it right. I'm just a hobbyist, so the lift will probably only cycle 100 times a year or so. The heaviest thing I have to pick up would be a 4 door Chevy 1/2...

Here's my 2 car apartment garage. As far as apartment garages go, it's pretty decent; about 20 x 22 and the apartment complex has never hassled me about working on stuff in there (even though the lease specifically forbids it). For the most part, the garage works well for me...

Hi guys- Right now I am renting a house with a nice 2 car garage attached to it. The reason I chose to rent the house was because of the garage, it was the largest garage equipped home that was in my price range. I don't have the measurements on me right now, but I'll post back this afternoon...

New to the forum, just thought I would introduce myself. I'm Josh Kinzey, originally from Libby, Montana. I lived in Ogden, Utah for about 5 years, and then moved to North Carolina. My hobbies are drag racing and skiing. Right now I have a decent 2 car garage, but I'm getting ready to move...

Hi guys- New here, living in Fayetteville, NC right now. No super garage right now or anything, just a 2 car attached to my house. I'm looking to improve though, so we'll see what I can do with the information available here. See you around. -Josh
