Can this be used in car Shop / garage working on cars?

It can, but I would recommended a different dry chemical for a car shop. Around vehicles, I'd recommend an extinguisher based on potassium bicarbonate, sold under the name "Purple K." It is more effective against liquid fuel (Class B) and electrical (Class C) fires, which is basically what a vehicle fire is. Also, it is less likely to be corrosive. I have a Purple K extinguisher from the same manufacturer in my car. It's what the pros (airport, military, etc) use around vehicles. The extinguisher listed here I got for around the house. It is based on ammonium phosphate, which leaves a film. The film is what makes it "multi-purpose," since it gives it a small Class A (solid fuel) rating, but is probably something you don't want sticking in the little nooks and crannies of a car. Also, it is more likely to be corrosive, being chemically one step away from ammonia.

ABC fire extinguishers are multipurpose and can be used in that application.

Yes ! I am a mechanic and have used it on your type of car many times, great tool for the money does most actions scan tools costing thousands do.

I will acknowledge that I'm not an chemist or engineer, but if the company indicates it shouldn't be used in a garage, I would certainly agree. This device helps sniff out dangerous fumes and vapors, and typically, garages contain both. If the area is like any other room in the house, and doesn't contain any vehicles, dangerous chemicals, or any other type of combustion processes, I would consider it for myself. However, for anyone else, I would take the advice of the company and write them with a detailed description of the room contents and use and ask their professional opinion.

Most established garages should be able to. I had the Subaru dealer and private shop do it so far.

Possibly. I use them daily as an auto technician, but for removing heater hoses and electrical connectors.

I don`t see why not. Just turn over your sofa, chair or what ever and test a small area to see what happens. I use it on tires, dash, molding and other item made of rubber, leather and vinyl. Good product.

It sounds like your use would be less continuous than industrial work like auto bodywork, I think it would be fine. It's quite a large tank, I don't use the tools you mention but it refills fairly infrequently when using impact gun etc. Maybe someone else can chime in regarding the tools you use.

Yes. If you know how. I put mine on by hand but I have worked in a garage for 20+ years. It's not that hard if you know how.

I would not use it to polish a car. Even at the lower speed it is to aggressive for polishing.

you can use it on a two car garage door, it is powerful enough, says in directions, but if it is taller than 7ft you have to buy an extra kit

Yes it is a great compressor... I use it daily on the job site.. (construction) the occasional low tire etc. It would not be adequate for a auto shop.. Hope that helps

I would say yes but not sure. I used it for decal removal from a car. Worked for that!

No I would not use this to polish a car. You want a buffer with a soft pad that you can use compound and wax

I am sorry, I don't know. I keep mine stationary in closets and floor of my car. Good question for manufacture.

I wouldn't. It is gentle when used on a light setting but why risk your car's finish. Consider using a garden hose and a tight nozzle.

I am not sure about using this orbital sander for polishing a car.But after using it, I would say that I WILL NOT use it in my car.The reason is that this sander works providing vibration and abrasive disk rotation, it is designed to remove external hard surface of paint, varnish, lacquer, polyurethane, old wood surface, etc. It does not provide the polishing effect desire in a dedicated polishing machine.There are specific car polishing devices you can get.Again, I will not use it for a car paint polishing.Hope this helps.

I would say no but this would be too harsh for plastics of any kind. You would be better off using the polishes that are designed for like headlight lenses for cars.
