Would you rather have a well setup thermostat controlled heater. Such as
Reznor UDAP-75 Power Vented Gas Fired Unit Heater, NG, Aluminized Heat Exchanger - 75,000 BTU

With install costs and the $$$ to run gas lines to it figure $3000

Or a nice bend pak lift?

I don’t live in a place that gets stupid cold, so I vote lift. With your back, is laying on the floor actually beneficial or would standing be better?

I’d go lift before heater that’s just me though. Would love heat but would rather have a lift easier than messing with a floor jack and stands. I’d wear Carhart in the meantime till I got heat.

Its six of one half dozen the other. The lift is nice for heavy work under the rig.

I cant work with a ton of clothes on. But I see your point. Usually a hoody and jeans suffices

I have a small heater now. My shop has 15' ceilings, a loft and is 1400 sq ft. Its not easy to heat.

This.

Worst case I'd throw a Reddy Heater in there and use the savings on the lift anyways. Before we got a brand new facility, the company I work for was heating annex buildings with $80 Reddy Heaters.

Yup, plus when I get to working I normally get warm some what if that makes sense unless it’s stupid cold out.

I have 2 options for you .
Lift + a couple propane heaters.
Lift + pellet stove. They are a great investment and really generate some heat!

 

[Bearbo]

Heat. Like the ceramic heaters though. Toasty!

 

[sleek98]

lift first then heaters. You can use the lift year round, heaters are only in the winter.

 

[PaxtonShelby]

Keep the bullet heater pointed at you - lift all day and twice on Sunday! I can’t wait to move and build a garage - first thing will be a big 2-post.

I cant run pellet. Insurance reasons.

I have a propane heater. The shops to ****ing big.

I'd use the heater almost 9 months a year.

I line the points of view though keep them coming. I'm trying to find reasoning against the heater I havent thought off.

I'd probably do the lift. It's only cold a few months there.

It sounds like you have too much blood in your alcohol system, keep a bottle of brandy behind your toolbox

That might be my issue. I don't drink

Shit if you need heat 9 months a year then do that first. I change my answer.

Need is relative. North of seattle is cold. We wont see day time temps above 60 till june. By october is below 60 again

My buddy reminded me my shop gets a bit damp and heat would help.

Maybe this deployment will make enough to do both lol

The lift is a necessity, the heater a retirement gift to yourself...
