How often do those Kobalt 30 gallon compressors go on sale at Lowes? I called mine up and all they have is the display model. That isn't a problem, but I was just wondering.

I won't be doing things like tire rotations all the time, or things like that. What I need it to be able to do is get something like an axle nut off, or a stubborn bolt that I can't get my club hands in, and around, or whatever. Just so I don't have to bust up my knuckles tinkering. Usually I'm...

Thanks again for the help everyone.

Cryptic. Can you point me to the exact fittings/hose you use? I tried to PM you, but it doesn't seem to work.

Do you think the HF 21 gallon compressor would work with those Earthquake tools? Or would you stay away from it. I'm only going to be using this probably once a month (if even). I see the Kobalt has gone up in price..... figures.

So if I had this compressor and its max PSI is 125 am I going to be running the compressor constantly just to get little spurts off it? Would I even be able to set it at say.... 110 psi so the tool sees ~90psi?

Yeah, sounds like I'm going to have to save up a little more money to get what I want I think. I don't want to buy something I regret.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh. It is all starting to make sense. I finally get what I'm looking at in the specs. Thank you. for all the help. So I can actually set the PSI higher than the tool even requires for more torque? Will I damage the tool if I do this? That would obviously drain the tank faster as...

Oh, so the CFM just refers to how fast the compressor pumps the air into the tank, but the PSI refers to how hard it comes out of the hose? If a tool requires 100PSI to operate, will it use even more PSI if its available?

Hahaha, man this gets more, and more confusing the more I read about it. So I'm more concerned with the PSI as for the torque of the tool, and not the CFM?

Do they sell the Milton fittings at HF? I was actually thinking about that exact combo with the 1/2" earthquake. Do you think it would take an axle nut off, or something like that? Also, if I ran the earthquake 3/8" air ratchet that requires 6scfm would that even work on this compressor since...

Ok, I was looking at buying a Kobalt 30 gallon Compressor but the air ratchet I was looking at says it needs 6cfm to run. The compressor says it only powers 5.3cfm if I remeber correctly. So what would happen if I don't give it the full 6cfm? Will it underperform greatly, or would it be hardly...

Anyone have this unit? Would it supply enough power to loosen, say, an axle nut, or something along those lines? I would probably only use it maybe once a month, so I don't want to spend a ton on a compressor...

I'm thinking about buying this compressor. I thought it was made by another good named company or something?
