With the SP-7X, this garage is truly one of the best thought-out man caves we’ve ever had the honor to witness. We couldn’t resist taking a quick video and putting it together for all to see. We think you’ll agree it’s a plain fantastic garage design.

Even after all these years, it’s still exciting to see BendPak equipment in print. In this case however, we were mostly confused. If you compare the three lifts, you can see that they all are in the same weight capacity category and they all do essentially the same thing.

On the manufacturing side, automotive equipment companies like BendPak Inc. have already been hit hard with a 20% spike in raw steel costs beginning in July, 2010. Despite this, BendPak Inc. was able to keep prices stable below the industry average with most products only seeing a price increase between 3% and 14%.

One sharp BendPak fan brought it to our attention that the MD-6XP scissor car lift was used on last week’s episode of Mythbusters! And it’s pretty appropriate too, considering that in the episode they took apart a Porsche 928 and flipped it around to run BACKWARDS. (What else would you use it for, right?) It’s […]
