    Any recommendations for a great impact bit holder? I've tried the dewalt and makita ones, and the bit gets clogged with metal shavings due to the magnets, and the bit only sticks out 1/8" past the end.

    I even bought some expensive bits that were SUPPOSED to be magentic, but aren't (well, looking at the packaging maybe they aren't magnetic)

    It's the right size for small stuff I want to powder coat. Never done it before so it'll be interesting.

    Regular oven would work too but you just cant use it for food afterward.

    Any suggestions for a floor jack and jack stands? Most of the jacks I come across seem gear more towards cars than high clearance trucks. I guess I could put blocks on the lift head but that seems scabby...

    These OTC stands are awesome. The floor jack is from Costco. My truck is not lifted so I have no issues with them..

    Harbor freight has a nice 2 Ton that goes from low for lowered cars and high for lifted trucks.
