Hey you are out of line.

Electrical.

Mini Split systems are sized by SQ foot coverage. I don't feel the OP has a valid concern there.

I have never not had enough power adding 100 Amps. It is aways cheaper to do it first.

1. I would rate being able to stand erect under a car I am working on as a priority. Don't scrimp when buying your lift. Make it go as high as you need. 2. I would not. Your shop size is pretty small as it is. I understand the concrete and building size may dictate that.

Totally agree. Air impact guns - I have an Ingersol Rand but there are other good brands - totally blow away electric impacts. I have the larger Milwaukee electric 1/2" drive impact and it struggles / fails at most lug nuts. A 3/8" electric impact might be fine for an oil pan plug.

I get 5# cans of Mobil #28 grease free at work, so I would use that. The same product is sold at auto parts stores as Mobil #1 grease. It's a red synthetic grease. Good stuff.

That one is a 428CJ GT-E. It's not mine, I restored it for a couple guys who have a collection in northern CA.

I would rent either a forklift or a Sky Trac that is rated for that weight. It's likely above 2000 pounds.

The ratchet is made from a polymer. Sockets are of course steel as are the screwdriver bits.

I bought this in Japan in 2001 at a Nagoya department store. It's in a case that measures about 2" by 2" by 3/4".
