Getting Your Gear in Gear Bridal registry tips for outfitting the garage  Image courtesy Gladiator Garageworks The Scene "The garage is becoming more and more of a focal point of the house," says Paul Ryan, host of the DIY Network's "Weekend Handyman" and "Kitchen Renovations." "It's huge, from what I'm seeing - it's much more than just a place to keep the car." Today's two- and three-car garages now often offer more square footage than any other room in the house. So, in today's difficult real-estate environment, homeowners are exploring ways to make use of this previously overlooked area as a way to expand living space in an existing home. "People want to make that usable space," says Larry Costello, director of public relations for Sears and its Craftsman line. "All the way to tricking out their garage into some sort of 'man space,' as a place to kick back and watch a ball game." The Essentials Storage Solutions So where do you begin when thinking about your garage registry? Well, the sky's the limit. Today's top-of-the-line garage upgrades can even include themed flooring styles and specially designed appliances. But storage is a good place to start, given the sheer quantity of tools and yard gear garages are called on to handle. "I think everyone should be starting with a wall system," says Lou Ann Schafer, senior marketing manager for Whirlpool's Gladiator Garageworks line. "They will discover what a huge impact that makes, just being able to use all that vertical space." A number of companies now offer wall-mounted, track-style storage systems that allow homeowners to start small and add on, over time. Specialized accessories can help allow easy access to hoses, cords and athletic gear, as well as all those miscellaneous screwdrivers, wrench sockets and pliers. Tool Time With storage in place, you can start thinking about the tools you'll need to handle all those chores around the house and yard. When it comes to small power tools, several manufacturers are offering products built around lithium-ion batteries. These batteries last longer than standard models, and the tools are interchangeable with the battery packs. One particularly cool offering is Craftsman's new Nextec Auto Hammer, which features a magnetic head that holds the nail in position before driving it into place. The DIY Network's Ryan started working in construction in his teens, so it's no surprise that his list of garage essentials is heavy on weekend-project practicality. Here are a few of his ideas for gifts that will keep your garage in working order: - Let there be light, with portable illumination. "The first thing I'd recommend is an extension light with a spring-loaded cord; I love those things," Ryan says. "Don't skimp - I'd recommend at least a 25-foot cord, or even a 50-footer." - Keep it clean all over, with the right shop vac. "I recommend a wet/dry shop vac," he suggests. "Don't skimp on that, either. You want one that's going to get in the crevices." - Stay on the move with a roller stool. Ryan's favorite model features an adjustable seat, and a tray for nuts, bolds and any tools he might be using. Indulge your inner motor-head, with accessories that make auto work easier. Ryan keeps roll-up ramps handy for raising his car up off the floor. He also recommends "creeper" rolling platforms, to enable ready access under the chassis. But Keep In Mind If you're thinking about creating a serious man-cave, you may want to add one of the new flooring products to your list. New rollout and tile systems snap into place without adhesives and are similar to those used in temporary racetrack garages. You can hose them off in place, or detach them in sections for more thorough cleaning outdoors. And, for storing all the beverages and snacks you'll need for a season's worth of football watching, you might want to think about Whirlpool's Chillerator refrigerator, designed to handle the garage's heat and humidity extremes. The company also offers a unique Freezerator refrigerator - the upper compartment converts from cooling space to a freezer with the turn of a dial, adding 21st-century convenience to even the manliest man-cave. |
