Oh yeah. I'm well aware it's probably more than I could use. But between my son and I there is a possibility of a hoist being operated, a welder going and perhaps the compressor kicking in. That would be a fair amount of power.how many people at a time will be a working in there? if its just 1, theres no way they could use all that power
