Vgate scan for the reader. About 25.00. Torque for the app. This is what I use and it is leaps and bounds better than the cheap stand alone readers.

I do the same type of things you do, and I picked up a Quincy QT5. It is an excellent compressor for blasting and other fabrication tools. I believe it will outlast me, and I'm 38. I would highly recommend it. It can be had for about $2000 bare bones or $3000 fully loaded.

I use brakleen, but if you rub too hard it will start to take paint off. I just let it soak for a minute and wipe the goo off.

To the top for the night crew.

I picked up this vise at an auction yesterday, and I can't find any info or pics of other Yost vises like it. It says "G.M. Yost Mfg. Co. Meadville PA 502" on the side. I know it is a sheet metal workers vise, but that's about all I know. The jaws measure 4 1/2" across. I would like to find out...

Send me one, i'll try it out!

We used to use them at work. They are about on par with other cheap chinese tools, ie harbor freight, etc.

At 60 feet you could go with RG-6 direct bury flooded with 100% solid copper conductor. Don't get cable with a clad conductor for satellite. Stay away from RG-59 cable.

Yes there is direct bury line. Which one you run is dependent on how far you go. How far is it?

You can certainly use it. You will need a different pulley for the motor to bring the pump back to the rpm it was at previously. There are many useful pulley calculators on the internet that will be handy for figuring this out.

I use a Mittler Bros. A little higher than your price range, but it works great. http://www.mittlerbros.com/tube_bender_90_hydraulic.htm

1 gallon of propane contains 91,600 BTU's of energy, so 2 60,000 BTU Heaters would burn approximately 1 and 1/3 gallons per hour of use.
