I work for the rural util. company here. Ask them for the tools to calculate load, they should have them. If you were here we'd have a set of questionnaires to run you through and would ask for specific equipment loads for things that are high draw, if you were residential with a pole barn it...

Welcome Glen. Lots of great ideas on here for certain, we would love to see pics of your new garage.

If you're looking to contain a rupture - good luck. I can tell you that this cinder block wall didn't do it very well though.

I have the Dewalt 20v 3/8 - I love it. If I could have waited and didn't already have the 20v batteries I would get the Milwaukee Fuel hands down. I have some M12 Fuel drills and impact driver and they're fantastic.

Wall and floor space are at a premium in my small shop, but I had a small piece of unused space here just above my garage door.

I have both the M12 Fuel Impact and the Dewalt 20V impact, it's pretty rare I pick up the Dewalt now. Brushless is the way to go - if you have lots of big iron anyhow for bigger jobs I would go for the M12 Fuel.

Created a place to keep my utility knives and measuring tape at last. Just a few stud braces and washers for spacers. Does the job.

Picked it up at Home Depot here in Canada - $179 for the kit.

I have the same door, actually it froze to the ground here last week and the opener tripped out (was fine afterwards) Here's a picture of my bracket.

Yes, they seem to use mixed red and black for anything brushless "Fuel". I like how they have it setup to keep a bit in the impact and also use the extended battery even though those aren't included. I'm hoping to pick up the 3/8" wrench whenever I can find one that's actually in stock. They had...

Just picked her up today and did a little playing around with her, amazing amount of power! As much as my 20V DeWalt compact for sure.

Yes - drilled and tapped but didn't come with any. From a little research it looks like the bottom line tells me it was manufactured in February of 1950. Pretty cool to think it runs smoother than my newer import grinder - and will outlive it no doubt.

I might just leave it and give a coat to the stand where there's a bit of rust. Glad I managed to pick this one up, in Canada they seem to be a bit harder to come by.

Just picked this up from Kijiji, runs smooth and came with the stand. For $75 how'd I do? Looks older, planning to clean it up with a new coat of paint. Any ideas what paint color matches up?

That's well worth the $50 imo so long as it runs smooth.
