Re: [ST] Air Compressor



Kevin, 
 
That little tiny one at Harbor Freight is very light duty...it will run out of steam in most applications....it would be good for a brad nailer, thats about it. I have a 30 gallon 150psi from Sears. I went a notch up from what I thought I needed , due to advice from others with more experience. I am damn glad i listened, because even this one can run out of steam, and i am not a power user. The second one on sale for 99 bucks would make more sense....but is not that portable. They had a pancake model on the side of one of your adds that would make more sense if you had to go small. BTW, the little one from HF is on sale right now for about $49....I might buy it myself , just to have a portable one, and also because it would be cheaper and easier as a solution in my basement compared to running a line in from my garage....
 
Let us know what you end up with...

The compressor should be fine for everything other than spraying, or heavy
use of larger air tools. Painting doesn't require much pressure, but very
high volume of air. Usually, 5-7 scfm is a minimum for anything other than
model car spray guns..

I think the time has come to find an air compressor. I am looking for a
basic compressor that I can move around and use to power air tools, spray
guns, nailers as well as pump tires and shit like that. Being a cheap wad
I don't want to pay a lot - hence I found this http://tinyurl.com/55qwx 

Will this do the job, is it powerful enough ?

Any other suggestions ?

Cheers,

Kevin
