I use one of the radiator style heaters (no explosion hazards) when I warm the garage. But I too can't use the heater and power tools at the same time. I just unplug the heater and use the tools, then replug in the heater. Once warm it takes a while for the shop to lose it's heat, so unless you goof around it should stay comfy while you're using the tools. Next house is going to have 100 amp service just for the garage/shop. I miss my 3 hp table saw.
