The blast cabinet showed up today, a little assembly required, not bad. Makes the parts tank look tiny
looking for snap ring pliers recommendations.
Doing the front wheel bearings on the TDI jetta next weekend to get it ready to sell and my pliers are crap for ones like that. Not looking for snap on prices before those are recommended. LOL

What would be a good, low cost heater for my garage? It is basically a 1.5 space garage and that is the garage I work on the LC. I just need some type of heat going in there while I am working. There is a vent in there from the house but so far hasn't made much of a difference.

If I didn't connect that to the large propane tank and used the smaller green ones instead, any idea about how many hours of use do the green tanks offer?
3-4 hrs on high. 4-6 on high. You should use an inline filter when using it with a bulk tank. I'll look for the filter and hose #'s later. Lots of us use these in our tents and trucks.
EDIT: They also make a 2-cylinder model (big buddy?) that uses a different bulk hose. Might be a better bet depending on your needs.

I like the idea of being on the smaller side in case I want to use it camping etc. The one above looks like a good size and I can put it in the direct area that I am working.
I had the same thought/need... Hustled over to HF to pick up a space heater for the garage allowing me to tinker over the weekend.
About $26 out the door using a super rare 20% coupon, picked up their electric Parabolic Oscellating Heater, cheeks their marketing people got a new theasoraus in their stocking for Christmas.
Puts out nice directed heat, has a timer that goes between 1-60mins, can be stationary or sway side to side at slow or fast, turns off if picked up or tips over... Doesn't take up a big footprint and doesn't require gas... Good as long as u don't lose power I suppose
Didn't realize how long paint takes to cure when it's this cold out, fan/heater was good for accelerating that process also
On the plus side. Welding in the cold is much better than in the middle of July from a quality/warp age perspective as well as enjoyment!
Overall it was money well spent to make the most of the stay-at-home weekend. Curious to see home this impacts my electric bill...

Speaking of space heaters, what do people recommend for interior heating in case of power outage or HVAC failure? I'm currently using an indoor kerosene heater which puts out a ton of heat, but there's concern for CO buildup. CO detectors mitigate that risk, but still, looking for recommendations.

Wood stove. We have heated our house using a wood stove for 7 winters now. I know you are looking for a temp solution for power outages but a wood stove can help you out all the time as well. Food for thought.

You're right, this recommendation doesn't really help, but a wood stove is a good backup. I've been thinking about doing one of those fire place insert type stoves, maybe this will prompt that conversation again.

That is exactly what we have, with built in fan. I finally put in a small door jamb fan to the kitchen from the living room and it made a huge difference. I have one more load of wood to get and that will put me at $480 to heat house and shop for the winter. Pretty much same as last year. So depending on what you are paying to heat now, it may well save you some money.

Our house is heated via gas and our heater can be ignited via match in the event of power outage. To be honest the best thing is going to be a backup generator up here it is something we use a lot due to downed trees knocking out power and an older electrical grid its common.
a couple suggestions for harbor freight and craftsman, both of which in my experience aren't that great for the pliers, and one for snap on. Which did you end up getting?

Haven't bought any yet, suffered through one last job with the craftsman and HF ones that I have. Knipex is what I intend to buy next.

I've got knipex wire cutters (three types) and LOVE them, super high quality. They come super sharp and keep their edge.
Is your regular heat from heat pump or natural gas?
