Learning from Other Cultures about Industrial Equipment and Supplies

Hi, my name is Jeff, and I firmly believe that there is always at least two ways to look at any problem. Whether I am thinking about poetry or industrial lawn mowers, I try to take a comprehensive look at the issue from all angles. That means I think about the history of mowing lawns, whether or not it's even necessary, how it's done in other cultures and more.

It looks at industrial supplies and equipment, but it also compares and contrasts the Australian way with things I have seen and read about while travelling abroad. I hope you enjoy this blog and the "wide angle" I employ when thinking about things.

How to Choose a Car Lift for Your Residential Garage

Posted on 8 June 2016

A car lift can be a good investment for any residential garage if you do your own car repairs or work on cars as a hobby. They can increase safety, as there is typically less chance of a car falling on you when it's on an actual lift versus just being jacked up, and they give you room to work and see the underside of the car more readily. Not all homeowners realize that they can have an actual car lift installed in their residential garage, but these are usually easier to set up and may even be more affordable than you realize, given the many varieties of lifts on the market.
