Since I moved in 6 years ago, I’ve agonized over which flooring to put in my garage. I wanted something that would hold up to doing real work and deal with all four seasons that we get here in Metro Detroit. My first thought was epoxy or similar coatings. The DIY options were more than I...

Have a complete set of Carlyle stubby 12 point wrenches, SAE and Metric. Metric are 8-19mm and brand new. SAE are 5/16-1”. I purchased these piecemeal because the sets were out of stock. The 3/4” and 7/8” are from a different supplier to Carlyle and Made in China. Rest are Taiwan. All...

Background: I am a home gamer who mostly works to maintain old sports/race cars, ATVs/dirt bikes, and the trailers I haul them with. Most car stuff is engine and interior work, maybe brakes. Big suspension overhauls I typically rely on a shop for due to the time commitment. A few years back...

I'm in need of a lifting solution for large Utility ATVs (Polaris Sportsman 850/1000 or the equivalent CanAms). Specifically, I would like something to bring the machines to "service height" for suspension, brake, and differential work. This means not only to I need the thing a few feet off...

This is only tangentially related to my garage, so please feel free to move/delete if desired. Anyhow, I live in a tri-level home in which the Kitchen/Family Room and Garage are on the "main" level, which is located on a slab. The Living Room and Upstairs both sit roughly a half story...

After much decision paralysis (thanks in part to this forum), I went ahead with having Tuff Shed erect a 12x16 Premier Tall Barn in my backyard. This was the literal max structure that would squeak under city regs (200 sq. ft. and 14' max height). The inspector came today and noticed that...

Has anyone had experience with Williams/Blue Point flex head reversible ratcheting wrenches? I was originally leaning towards a reversible Carlyle set, but recalled some instances where a flex head would be beneficial. After some (albeit limited) research, Williams seems to be one of the only...

Going to have a 12x16 shed built in my backyard once the snow thaws. Last fall, I had a contractor pour the required pad and it passed city inspection. My only remaining question is how to power the thing. My lighting needs are some fixtures for getting things in/out of the shed. This will...

I'm looking to rid of some of my standing racks to free up floor space. Was hoping to get input on anyone's experience using restaurant-style stainless wall shelving, as seen here: A 12"x48" shelf runs about $70 on Amazon. These seem perfect for oils, detailing supplies, spray chemicals...

Background: I've been working out of an old 3-Drawer Craftsman Rally box for the past few years. This is a portable setup that I use for track days or ATV trips. Goal is to perform basic maintenance such as brake jobs, rudimentary alignments, etc. The box presently looks like below: As...
