Well, sense my pole barn is on hold for a few years, I am going to take some of the money from the sale of my house and get an air compressor, and some other tools. The new house will have a 24x24 garage, with a 20amp 110 outlet, and a 220 outlet. I am looking at two compressors that TSC has. One is the Ingersoll-Rand for $499. It’s a 3hp [7.9 peak], single stage. 11.3 cfm, and 90psi. with a 60 gallon tank, and not being one of those oil less compressors.[I will not get one of those. REAL loud!]
Also looking at the Campbell-Hausfeld 60 gal compressor. Same specs as the Ingersoll. For $381.
I know the Ingersoll will be a little better built. I will be using the compressor a lot, but not everyday/all day, like a shop would. What would you all chouse? Any outhers I should look into? I would like to keep it under $500 , but I got some wiggle room in funds. The less I spend on this, the more I get for other toys, er, I mean tools./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Thanks!
