Garage displays in stores

milesteam1four1 — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 17:31:15 GMT

I resently visited a Sear's tool's department looking for a way to design my garage. I wanted to have the man's dream of a perfect garage with tool chest's, hanging tools, the work's. If Sear's would have had a display of a garage as an example to go by with features that could be added or even a book with many types of set-up's I would have been sold on the spot. The most treasured place in a man house is the garage. The display should look like a working garage the walls, and the floor. Am I the only one that thinks like this? I need to hear more from other guy's or girl's. Derek

I purchased a Jawhorse this spring for a 5 month project we are just wrapping up. It is one of the best tools I own, it is functionally a great product, but for me it saves me money and time. It certainly doesn't hold all items, but when you want to saw, drill, clamp or sand various projects it is the perfect 1 man tool.

Hi, Knottyet, strangely enough, I am the designer, (and of the Jawhorse also) and I am not the least embarrased.

I presume you have not actually tried the clamp as it works perfectly for it's intended function, VERY securely holding a 2x4 or the edge of a door.

It's not intended to clamp everthing, that's a job for the Jawhorse. But it will do exactly what we claim and demonstrate on the video's.

Regards

Warren

The stand portion of this devise is excellent. The clamping mechanism however should embarrass the designer as well as Rockwell. It is a flimsy devise based on a small carriage bolt and a plastic knob held in place by a small sheet metal clip.

Just another reason Sears is slowly killing itself...

Not all stores install. I just purchased $1300 worth of the Gladiator Garage System and asked for assembly and installation at the Fayetteville, NC store, and was told they do not assemble due to liability. Well if you don't assemble the items how are you going to install them? Imagine that!

Viper is a pemier line of storage solutions. Husky is a much lower grade construction. Check out the Viper and compare.

I seriously doubt it.

Yes!

I've finally found someone who thinks like I do (no offense intended)!

The only problem is that there rear tray get full-up pretty fast...

Of course, my "rear tray" is a four-foot by eight-foot box, with an attached light.

And, at one time, lockable, sliding DOORS!

The function of the rear tray is hold things you intend to obscure by piling other things on the main part of the bench. The rear tray is intended to promote nostalgia. It holds items that cause you to say "Gosh, I bought that five years ago and I completely forgot about it. It's still in the original packaging."

AdamO — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 01:10:04 GMT

Isn't that what some of them benches with the rear tray are for?

The most useful feature on a work bench would be a top with a timer on it that would periodically dump all the stuff on it into a large bin below the bench. That way the bench top would be clear instead of serving its usual function as a large shelf.

They're going to make it to ALL the stores eventually.

Some of them made it out all-the-way here to California, which is normally the very last continental state to get stuff - still waiting on C3 Chainsaws...

You should be SET, soon.

I really need either a hard copy or a .pdf file of the new catalog!

There's a GREAT two-page spread on Craftsman workbenches in the new 2010-2011 Tool Headquarters catalog.

There are even TWO different model woodworking benches offered, this year.

Outstanding!
