The other night I cleaned out my spare tool box to make room for SAE tools for the first time in my life (just bought my first muscle car, always had German cars), anyway while doing so I started to organize my "extra sockets." I have a few sets of sockets in my main box. Then I have the random...

Hey, We are building a shop that has 3 loading docks. It's a race shop, so our only real need is to bring cars in and out. I have seen dock elevators that would work in the past, but don't know anything about them. Can anyone shed some light? -BS

When I was living NY, I had a 2 car garage with a 1 car door, so GoJaks were a MUST. In my new garage, I don't need them as much, but still like them handy for moving around my project car. But storing them *****. I know GoJak makes a floor roller that hold the 4 jacks upright, but it takes up...

Looking for inspiration on some color-ways for my new garage. In the past, I never gave much thought to this, but Jack's garage makes me want to pick a color scheme to stick too. It just makes the garage look so much nicer. That said, to get this started, I'll save Jack the time and post a...

Just wanted to share something I learned this weekend. I've spent incredibly too much time researching workbenches over the past two months. I have just moved to LA and I'm in the process of outfitting my new 19x19 two car. Since I am tight on space I am trying to build a bench that serves a...

Hey, I just moved to Venice from NYC, where BX is the only approved wiring in both residential and commercial applications, but I noticed that my garage here in Venice has a mix of BX and Romex. Anyone know the rules as to what needs to be used where? I have done some google searches with...

Okay, so I am planning on epoxy coating my floor this weekend. It's a rental garage, so while I am not concerned with it lasting as much for 20 years, I want to do a good job. The garage floor is likely 20 years old but in decent condition aside from some oil spots. I went and bought some...

So what do you all use to lock up your garage doors. While I love the ease of of an automatic door opener, I sleep better at night knowing there is a padlock or something keeping thieves out of my tools. I installed a padlock on my garage in Queens, but it always seemed one crowbar pull from...

Next Thursday I will be packing up my entire garage into a 6x7 shipping cube so it can be sent from Queens NY to my soon to be new home in Venice CA. I have to admit, the idea of moving all of my tools, cabinets, chests and parts has been stressing me out more than moving my actual apt. Was...

In two weeks I will be moving from NYC to Venice Beach, CA. Along with my girlfriend, dog, and a ton of personal belongings will come my 1991 911 Turbo, 1990 Audi Coupe Quattro and a garage full of tools. With plans of making our place in California home for at least three years, I plan to...

So I rent a garage in Queens, NY. While it's the size of a standard two car, it actually only has one door making GoJacks a necessity. Anyway, I am curious who else here rents their garage, either on it's own or part of an apt/house. The reason I ask is that I think renters take a much different...

Having grown up working on German cars I was taught to respect the Wurth brand for solvents, aerosols, etc. It was always the trusted brand of VW/Audi/Porsche geeks. So last weekend while traveling in Europe I passed by a Wurth store. Quite an amazing place for guys like us. Entire aisles of...

After only 4 days of Porsche ownership, I have already found myself wrenching on my new-to-me 1991 911 Turbo. This is my first P-car, and I hhave to ask, How the hell do you work on these things? Maybe my hands are too big, I can barely get them in the engine bay let alone with tools. So, I...

Hey everyone, Just want to introduce myself quickly. Name is Brian, i've spent the past 6 years as an automotive magazine editor. Up until a few weeks ago I was the Editor-in-Chief of 0-60 Magazine. I have just taken a gig with the Monster World Rally Team, but am still involved on some level...

This is my first post, so I'll be short with the introduction, and save it for the appropriate forum. Name is Brian. I am a magazine editor (0-60mag.com) and I have been lurking here for a few months. Love the site. Anyway, I came across this "tool wagon," and figured I'd share it with you...
