Cablebandit - I bought 3 of these the other day (during the 15% off coupon deal - didn't want to deal with black friday). They didn't have any in the store - they put the order into their warehouse and when they get delivered to the store they'll give me a call. I should have them by mid-late...

I hate it when you snooze and lose. I had decided on going with the Quincy. Went to the Northern Tool website this morning to place the order only to find out the $100 off price was only good for yesterday. I incorrectly assumed that sale would be going on all weekend. Ah well, maybe someone...

Schurkey - I knew I forgot something! Yes, the motor RPM was another notch in favor of the Quincy. Layvon - While I applaud your ingenuity, that's another project which I definitely do not need at the moment. I agree with your other comments about household name. Shop Dad - great question...

In the middle of a new build and it’s time to step up to a big boy compressor. I posted earlier about searching for Black Friday deals on 5HP, 60-80 gallon compressors. I haven’t found much but two models have risen to the top of my list: the Quincy 2V41C60VC and the DeWalt DXCMV5048055. The...

::Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this - mods can delete if inappropriate.:: I'm in the middle of finally building my shop and it's time to get a proper compressor. Looking at 5HP, 60-80gal, 220V units (would prefer 80gal). Want to get a good quality machine, but not too overkill...

From the looks of it, everything in the flyer (at least tool wise) is up on the website. Buy now, pick up in store (avoid the holiday madness) should be available for all if it. There is a ton of stuff that's not in the flyer that is also on sale, including a ton of Jet stationary tools. I only...

I saw both of these last time I was there, almost grabbed that flood but held off. Hope it goes to $30 again, at that price I'd probably grab it, nice to hear you dig it.

Smokey - Coming soon when I start a full build thread. Pepi - Yes, I have a 1 car garage under the house, plus I carved out a chunk of the basement for additional workshop usage. The detached garage will be used a workshop.

Apologies for bringing back an old thread, but on the off chance someone else there runs into a similar issue, I figured I'd give an update. 3 years later and I finally have a garage going up. I ended up changing the size and location of the building. I brought the building closer to the house...

Again, great info from all you guys - it's really appreciated. In some ways I want to approach it simply - "I just need a damn heater". At the same time - especially when looking at some of the higher costs of a good mini split - I want to make sure I'm spending my money wisely. I just walked in...

Thanks for the additional comments - it's helpful as I wrestle through all the details of a new build and wanting to get it right from the start. A new question down below, but let me answer some comments first: theoldwizard1: All the comments were super helpful, thanks for chiming in. I'm...

Great points - I honestly hadn't even thought about putting a second head upstairs. The second floor will a storage space for foreseeable future - stuff I need to sell, future projects I pick up off the side of the road and can't pass up, maybe a little bit of material storage as well. From a...

Thanks for the recommendations on different brands – most of these I hadn’t heard of before or I wasn’t sure if they were reputable. I didn’t realize that these type of units wouldn’t go down to the lower temperatures. Using the timers is an interesting idea – I’d probably do that because I...

This might get a little long, but please bear with me – I could use the advice. I’m in the middle of having a 24’x28’ detached 2-story garage and I really need to make a decision on the type of electric heater to install. Slab is in, framing starts today and everything is coming together...

The online sale starts at 5am on Friday - last year it was actually live before that (around midnight if memory serves me, maybe 1-2am). The stores are closed on Thanksgiving and open at 6am on Friday. It's actually a nice setup assuming they offer what you're looking for online (last year the...
