    Eh...? I'm not quite sure if I get you?

    That's not the work garage, that's my man cave I have at my house.

    The floor in work is like that, 40 year old bad concrete, but my work tool chest is holding up pretty well. There's certainly no danger of it rolling away on me [:D]

    What I wouldn't give for a lift in my garage, let alone a garage big enough to put it in, you're a lucky boy Tristan :clap:

    I'm not going to lie, it's quite a nice feeling to have a space for projects, cars, tools etc, literally beside the house. I often go out there at 10pm, just, well, because I can!

    I got the baby Milwaukee 3/8th and it's a game changer. My favourite tool. I only regret not getting the ratchet too. I use the one in work way more than I thought I would!

    Not just luck, but hard graft, saving for ages, and getting a substantial bank loan!

    Though i Don't regret it for a second. I'd have gone off the rails during the pandemic if I hadn't the shed. And this is 4th variant.. A carport beside the house, a canvas marquee type thing, a 20x30 box iron garden shed and now the final version, the TedShed. 30x45, insulated, a ridiculous amount of sockets and LED lighting.

    Im waiting for the 3/8 Brushless Snap On impact to come to the UK, I absolutely love my current one. Best tool in my box for sure. Then I’ll have a home one and a work one [:D]

    What a fantastic base of operations. Looks like you could go 2 cars wide 2 cars high and then some just in the doors. Ken Block could Gymkhana in one door and out the other.

    Now boys and girls that's a f&!king shed - put in a bed, shower and jacks and just never leave it.

    If not have you tried those usb heated vests? Toasty warm. I use one on my mountain bike when it's sub zero.

    The Sealey version of this is £50+ so here is my starter for 10.

    Which was mostly the switch next day delivered. I had the rest.

    The Allen keys I’ve wanted for a while, the deep sockets were ‘on deal’
    They also don’t stand up in my Halfords tool box which is annoying.
