I'm 6'4" and have a Amgo OHX-10H and it has been great for me so far.

Few updates on what I've been up to. First up I haven't even had my Supra up on the lift yet and it needed an oil change so got that up in the air. Next up is I got the M30 back from my cage builder, lots of things to finish up before the race the first weekend of August, harness, fire...

Needed a vise for my home workshop and decided I wanted something vintage, kept an eye on FB Marketplace and saw a Parker 974 pop up near me that looked to be in great shape so I picked it up. Was a fun little project to refinish it and it came out great Before: After:

Got to use the air filter a bit and it did really help. I picked up a old Parker 974 Vise and while I was cleaning everything up with my die grinder along with wire brushes it did keep the air cleaner for sure. I of course wore a mask while working on it but when i was done the air was much...

Here is the fan I used Lasko High Velocity Floor Fan... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004IS6JBY?tag=atomicindus08-20

I've noticed that the air gets nasty in the shop when I'm cutting metal and/or welding when it is cold out and I don't want to open doors/windows. My buddy suggested an air cleaner so after some searching I decided to buy the plans and build the design from Shop Hacks...

been putting some time in on the M30, got the engine/transmission back in the car and got it fired up this past weekend. No issues and seems to run well, so I guess I did ok with my water pump/timing belt/oil pump/gasket/etc replacements. Just need to finish up a little interior removal and wire...

I recently installed Racedeck tiles and I went with the solid diamond plate tiles in the work area which is the back half of my 30x40 shop which is under the 2-post lift. I did the freeflow in the front where I more or less just park my "drivers". I do a lot of work on my cars, just pulled an...

More updates. Got the floor finished this past weekend. It was satisfying snapping all of the tiles together, did it all myself with a little help from my 10 year old daughter. @jbrentd - Yes the freeflow tiles mate right up with the solid tiles so you can mix and match. Everything went...

More Updates! First I love the parts washer, I've cleaned a ton of heavily oil/sludge covered parts and it works great, my fluid is getting a bit dark with all the junk I've already cleaned but still works great and the filter is keeping the fluid free of any grit. Next up I ended up having...

@Cdubu52 for the 24 Hours of Lemons stuff, we are changing our team name to NisMorons as for the theme for the new car, the M30 is called a Nissan Leopard in Japan so we are planning on doing some sort of Leopard theme. @Fast_Ed The size is working out pretty well, if I could change something...

Guess it has been a while since I provided an update. Where to start... Prepping the Altima Lemons car in the shop went great and having the lift made the whole project so much easier. We got the car together and in its first race in August we placed first in class! Next on my priority...

@dante2 Yep not much room to the ceiling but this lift was on my list of possibilities when I was planning the shop, 13' side walls were as high as I could go with the zoning without a variance so I'm glad I did the pitch on the ceiling as that gave me just enough room. @gizardlizard Might just...

Guess I didn't update this thread with details on my Amgo OHX-10X. While I don't have anything to compare it too, I love it so far and it works great. I'm really glad I got the extra lifting height as I'm a little over 6'4" so having the extra headroom is great. My building has 13' side walls...

Looks great, you will love having heat in there! Did you put a spot for the floor sensor in when your slab was poured? I didn't think to but I guess I could drill a hole for a sensor. Right now I'm running mine just off the air temperature but it seems to keep the temperature pretty stable that...
