I use brake cleaner for most things. It is the non chlorinated type from Rural King. If it's bigger, and grubbier, I use the Tractor Supply stuff in my parts cleaner. Purple stuff is good, but I tried it in my parts washer, and it foamed up.

I thought about epoxy for my garage, but I knew that I would be cutting, welding, jack stands, jacks, etc. So I went with a white concrete stain. It does get beat up, and is easy to re coat. But, you can't put it over anything with grease, or oil.

Nice work

Depending on how big your garage is, use roll up doors. That gives clearance for when you have a car on the list.

I have an old Safety Clean parts washer. I was using kerosene. This thread got me looking for alternatives. I drained the parts washer, and after scrubbing, I noticed a pin hole in the bottom. After even more cleaning, I found more pin holes. I had to cut the whole bottom out, and welded a...

Wow! I'm very impressed with your skills. I have a garage, but I couldn't build one like you did.

Even though I have a big compressor, i prefer battery powered tools. No air hose to drag around. I'm not too big on Craftsman tools. The quality has taken a nose dive. Spend a little more, and get something worth having.

And when welding, I get chest pains from inhaling the fumes. I wear a respirator whenever I weld now.

I rarely use my air ratchet. It's loud, lacks torque, and can be awkward with the air hose. I have Craftsman 18v lithium batteries for my drill, 3/8, and 1/2 drive impacts. I have 5 batteries, and a charger. Due to medical issues, I find they work great most of the time. If they won't do the...

That sounds very cool. I'll try it. Thanks.

So, what does Pandora cost? Does it have music for older people?

I just use satellite radio. I turn it on, and listen. I still buy CDs. I want something in my hand for my money. Take it out of it's case, put it in the stereo, and play it. No ripping, downloading to the computer, uploading to my phone. Also, i don't like the idea of paying for one song at a...

If this is a 2 post, make sure you consider where you want it. Mine is in the last bay, and I had to make sure it was in line with the bay door. And room on the side near the wall to walk past the lift, and room to open the car door.

I just used concrete stain. Applied just like paint. Holds up pretty well. Not crazy expensive. So, when you do damage the finish, just touch it up. Don't have trouble with hot tires lifting the stain if it's cured.

Just wondering if you know you're supposed to have 6 inches of concrete for a lift. Most are poured at 4 inches.

Forgot to mention that the clear floor option really comes into play when your car doesn't run, and you are trying to push the car over that lump on the floor. Also, one less thing to trip over, or collect spilled oil. Do your own research. Salesmen will try to sell you whatever they need to move.

You will appreciate asymmetrical and clear floor if you don't get them. My lift is rated at 10,000 pounds. None of my vehicles come near that. Even with asymmetrical arms, it's hard to get into my 2013 Ram. If you don't get asymmetrical arms, you will need to get an extra wide lift to get into...

At the time I bought my Bend Pak, they were made in China, and assembled in America. No issues in years. IMO, look for the certifications they should have. I think it's ALI. Not sure. Good luck with your choice. The ones you named are good lifts.

NO! Absolute junk. Heavy, and takes forever to jack the car up. Very loose build. I save it for a backup. like my HF way better. It's the quick pump up kind.

Check out Bend Pak. Whatever you buy, make sure it has all the certifications.
