Auto Shop Equipment and Tool Place in New England

I'm looking for an auto shop equipment and tool place anywhere in New England, preferably the Boston area. Someplace like a Northern Tool. A place that sells engine hoists, levelers, jacks, stands, stuff like that. Where do all those guys with the cheap Chinese made tools go when they're not at swap meets?

Specifically I'm looking to buy an engine hoist and leveler. I like the Torin Big Red ones. Pep Boys used to sell these. Not sure if they still do. In any event, my question still stands. I want to go to one of these places and buy big cheap tools and equipment.
