Cool should make it easier to run up and over. Still feel running a 220V for a sub panel would be best. Can you say "future expansion"... MHO
Are there any locks out there that are immune?
I would definitely do that if I was running electrical to a shop without any. There’s plenty of outlets in there already, though. There are two existing light fixtures that I’m planning to replace with the nice LED lighting at some point.Cool should make it easier to run up and over.

They probably are. I get what you're saying, but I think something similar to what you're doing would be overkill in this garage. I'll go all out on the electrical whenever I am able to build a shop of my own. I don't want to be sinking a lot of time and money on setting the garage up in this house when all I really need are the welder/air compressor circuits.You say there are already plenty of outlets, but are they all on the same circuit? I have 8 outlets in my garage and one convenience outlet just outside and they're on two circuits. I'm planning a 34x36 garage addition and each wall will have at least two circuits on each wall, 4 gang boxes with each 2 gang outlet on a different circuit.

You do make a compelling argument.So when you run the 220v for the compressor why not install it in a small sub panel then run the two circuits from it, 1 for the compressor the other for the welder and you'll have a few spare for... you know you'll end up getting something else at some point. Just saying - LOL
