Unless you are doing some really heavy-duty air tool work, that looks like overkill.
This seems much more TCB

And if you really do want that powerful of a compressor, this is almost the same price and significantly more HP/SCFM

How big a compressor will you need for OUR new lift? :rolleyes:
That is not within the scope of this project! :DQuote:

If you're really planning to start using air tools a lot, it's the way to go... the large tank gives you a lot of reserve...
Another Data Point - Heck some of the new battery powered tools can do pretty much anything an air tool can do. (Settle down OZMDD)
I got Ryobi's new 1/2 Impact and was able to bust off the 1-1/4 nuts for the radius arms on my 20 year old ford without any drama. Plus It has yet to meet a lug nut it can't break loose.
Good point, but its usually more about the extended duration of use than the power. IE, sanding, die grinder, paint sprayer, etc. are all much more efficient with a phat compressor.
True story! Sammmy may be planning to repaint the LE! I think that may be the only thing he hasn't done or replaced on the Cheater car. ;-)Quote:

Painting the LE?

Harbor Freight just sent out their 25% coupons that are good through Sunday.
Yep, I got the 'Thank You' email from them with the coupon.Quote:

I have a HF 60g 220v compressor that I have had zero problems with in almost 6 years of ownership. I picked it up with a 25% off coupon when it was already on sale for $400. No regrets.
This one? It's the only 60g I see on their site.Quote:

I think they used to make a 60g single stage, but now it looks like they only do the 60 in 2-stage.
This is mine.Quote:

How loud are some of these offerings??
Have you asked about compressors over here -> http://www.garagejournal.com/
^Good question, not all of them provide DB specs or even RPM's (slower is quieter). I've been searching and reading over at GJ, lot's of good info for sure!
PS
Thanks Titus...looks like HF doesn't have your model any more.
Barney has been happy with our Sears compressor. Mine is 110 but I see this one on sale... http://www.sears.com/craftsman-profe...9&blockType=G9
I've got a buddy that put his outside the garage in a "closet" he built just for the compressor. It almost totally isolated the noise from the inside of the garage. His neighbor might not like it, but them's the breaks.Quote:

Yup. My buddy poured a separate concrete floor just for the compressor. Pretty sweet set up. Of course, he also has an epoxy-floored 6-car garage with several Porsches in it.
^Today's Crapsman ain't what they used to be.
I have owned that compressor for 4 years now. I have not had any problems with it. I can run it down pretty easy with air drills and grinders. I can run it down with a 1/2 inch impact but it takes some doing. If I was still a serious mechanic I would want more, but for hobby use I am happy with it.
Which one?Quote:

This one?? http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...7783_200627783
It looks shorter in this ad??
I like it!! Is it really US Built??
Ten gallons isn't much reserve for more consuming tasks. Will you ever spray paint or blow off large areas or dry off wet stuff?
So once you get it are you going to plumb the airlines in PVC pipe around the shop?? ;-)
That's the 'old' model of the same compressor (10020 vs 10020C). The new one has a smaller footprint, fills faster and supposedly runs at a lower RPM.Quote:
