How do you have it mounted? I can be standing right in front of mine and still talk to someone a few ft away. It is much quieter then many I have heard. Lastly you are a huge pssy.

My harbor freight jack is the best one I have used around. It’s the only one that hasn’t failed on me, it’s lightweight aluminum, and perfect size.

Question: Looking into buying a engine crane… is there any reason I would need the 2 ton vs the 1 ton? 209.99 vs. 169.99

I mean for 40 more I’m thinking two ton

Can haz?

Also I too like the simple setup garage. I have bought so many toos and garage stuff but really lacked the proper planning and such to make it all user friendly. I plan to resolve this starting tomorrow!!!

Exciting day! I went to Home depot to buy a salamander and bought an air compressor instead. I’ll tell the whole story since I don’t have pix yet. The wife bought me a electric heater for x-mas but its a 240 volt. Now I do have a 220 in the garage but the plug on the heater has one prong perpendicular to the other and the 220 is the 3 prong triangle type. We had some nice weather a week ago so I ripped the Evo apart and now its way to cold to go get it back together. That’s why I was going to get the salamander. So quick question - If the amp rating on my electric heater is the same as the breaker rating can I make a conversion harness to go from one plug type to the other?  
Well Home depot was sold out of salamanders so I walked over to the air compressor area. I wanted to make sure it only required a 110 outlet. Looking at the 30 gal, 2 HP ones I notice one had a price of 239 and the identical one next to it said 379. I looked them both over trying to find the difference. I thought maybe one was a return or had something wrong with it… I had to break man code and ask for help… Lady in charge of that deportment comes over and I ask. Turns out it was just miss labeld… That was my opening for opportunity! Had the Scoobie so I couldn’t bring it home today… Pix tomorrow!

You know, the first pictures I saw you posted made it look like an oversized one car garage, but now that you’ve taken some pictures of the whole thing, that’s an awesome space you have there ( apparently missed page #2 when you posted it empty)

Is the attic space just for storage? If so, and the compressor is loud, you could always install it up there on a remote switch, and then run the air lines down to where you need them in the garage. I’d probably have a connection by each bench and one by the front door opposite the walk in door. That way you need at most a 20 ft hose, and can use it for multiple things.

Good idea, it doesn’t really take up room and its really not that loud IMO… Defiantly something to think about!
