Morning.
If your garage looks anything like ours right now, it’s a disaster zone - collapsed Amazon boxes, tangled Christmas lights, and tools that never made it back to the chest. Forget the workout plan. The first mission of 2026 is the Garage Reset.
We’re clearing the floor, using the ceiling, and upgrading the clean-up crew.
TLDR: 🔧Craftsman Storage Cabinet ($210 off) 📦 Fleximounts Ceiling Rack (29% off) 🧹Karcher Washer ($50 off) and 🚗 Meross Smart Garage (33% off)
PS: Scroll to the bottom to have a go at today’s trivia question! It’s about a garage staple that you definitely own.
The Command Center: Craftsman 52” 2000 Series
$958 $748 (Save $210)
You know the drill. You walk into the garage to fix something, trip over a bike pump, and spend 20 minutes looking for the tool you need. It’s not a workspace; it’s an obstacle course.
We picked the Craftsman 2000 Series because it hits the absolute "Sweet Spot" of garage gear. It isn't the flimsy tin-foil metal you find in the bargain bin, but it doesn't cost as much as a used Honda Civic (looking at you, Snap-on).
Why it wins:
Made in the USA: Built in Sedalia, Missouri with real 18-gauge steel.
The Capacity: It holds 1,500 lbs. You could park a Fiat on top of this thing.
The Peace: Soft-close drawers mean you won't wake up the whole house when you're raging looking for a 10mm socket at midnight.
Fleximounts 4×8 Overhead Garage Storage Rack
You are ignoring 32 square feet of prime real estate: the ceiling. We picked the Fleximounts 4x8 because it turns dead air into 32 sq. ft. of heavy-duty storage. Built from industrial-grade cold-rolled steel, it supports up to 600 lbs without flinching.
It is the dedicated home for the bulky stuff - Christmas trees, camping coolers, and winter tires. Get the "once-a-year" gear off the floor, stop tripping over boxes, and finally get your parking spot back.
Rigid 14-Gal NXT Wet/Dry Vac
Stop sweeping sawdust into a corner and calling it "clean." We picked this Ridgid NXT because it is the ultimate shop workhorse. With a massive 14-gallon drum and 6.0 Peak HP, it eats drywall dust, wood chips, and wet spills without choking.
It features a Fine Dust Filter (so you aren't just blowing dust back into the air) and - crucially - it comes with the Auto Detailing Kit. So once the shop floor is spotless, you can switch attachments and finally deep-clean the truck, too. It handles the wet, the dry, and the ugly.
The No Brainer
Meross Smart Garage Door Opener (MSG100HK)
Remember when garage openers started charging subscription fees. We hate that too.
The Meross makes your existing opener smart—adding Apple HomeKit, Alexa, and CarPlay control—with zero monthly costs. It installs in 15 minutes and works with 1,600+ models. Forty bucks to never do the "U-Turn of Shame" to check the door again.

We all have a blue and yellow can of WD-40 sitting on a shelf somewhere. But do you know what the "40" in the name actually stands for?
Coming Friday: We upgrade the engine.
Now the garage is sorted, it’s time to focus on the operator (You)
