Air Compressor Questions

[Rch]

Bird, a better virture is not to need rebuilding. You got to figure in the hassle of down time, gettin' the parts and gettin' it to you in Texas /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
I remember one comment you made as to the function of the plastic housing on such compressors was " to hid the rinky dink unit" /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

You're right, Ray, and you must have a very good memory. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Thanks for the comments!
This thing aint cheap, which is why i asked, around 1K... But like I said, even swap for my T30 stationery... If it does what I need, then it is worth it to me. Like my dad always said "better to spend too much and be happy than to spend not enough and be miserable!"

Dads are so right sometimes.... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I have not seen any other "portables" with those specs in my research, has anyone seen anything competitive?

Thanks,
Tony

Sounds like a pretty capable rig there for $1k.

I just use lots and lots of hose to get to my outbuildings. I have about 300 feet, and use it all sometimes.

I keep most of it on a big reel that started life as a garden hose reel, replaced some of the fittings on it and now its a huge air hose reel. Much cheaper than buying something made for air.

Yah, I was toying with that thought, right down to the hose reel! I figured I'd run out of hose about half way to the next job... I imagine about 300' would be about all the hose you'd want to mess with, beyond that it's portable time! Maybe you could put a little electric wind-up motor on there for a "reel" long hose! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
