    Craftsman Griplatch tool box

    I have griplatch tool boxes, 8 drawer bottom rollaway. I love it. I want another one, and can't find it anywhere. Did Sears do away with them ? I brought a Harbor freight tool box, and hate the drawers, and latches.

    Distance between lift & side wall

    My drivers side lift post will be against a wall. How far off the wall should I go ? I need room to open the car door, and room to do a brake job comfortably. I have plenty of room on the passenger side of the car. It will be a 2 post lift.

    Do they make 8.5' wide garage doors ? Do to an existing foundation, my architect speced out an 8' wide door. But they are just too narrow. A 9' door will not fit. I don't thing my suburban will fit though an 8' door !

    2 car garage heater

    standard size 2 car garage. Cold snowy NY. I'm looking at a 43,000 BTU Dayton hydronic unit heater. Is it big enough ? I will only use it when I want to warm up my garage to work on my cars. Otherwise it'll be off 90% of the time. So I want fast heat, not a gradual wait time heater...
