Good Morning All, I've googled and searched GJ threads but have found none that address my specific questions. I'd like to mount a 1300lb. harbor freight electric hoist for lifting things out of my truck bed and potentially pulling a motor at some point. I can't imagine I'll ever exceed 700...

I currently have a 2.5 HP Makita Big Bore compressor that's been fine for airing tires and running a nail gun. I jump plumbed my new garage for air and am contemplating spraying my wall of cabinets with paint. I thought, why not get a paint gun vs. buying a ton of rattle cans. Now this has me...
