Default Electric Heaters Not 100% Efficient?

Why heat the shop when you're only there a small
percentage of the time? Or buy one of the radiant heaters
with a dish that you can pick up at Costco or Walmart for $40.
The benefit to those, besides being energy efficient, is that
you get heat instantly. Downside is that they are very
directional. So, if you stay at one spot it could be good.
If you move around, soon as you're not in front of it, no heat.


And if you have your back to them, with a 10" crescent wrench sticking
out of your coverall pocket-- when you grab it with your bare hand it
will leave a blister. DAMHIKT.
