Thanks for the input man! You've been super helpful. The filters are oil coalescing and over sized (compressor is only 15CFM). I got the 22 CFM versions of the below. One is "Grade G" and the other "Grade H" media. It is probably overkill and money better spent on a high temp dryer (vs now...

I think I'm going to go belt guard mounted after cooler + auto drain water separator, plumbed between the motor and the tank. I'll see how it performs without an additional fan, then wire one up to kick ion with the compressor if needed. So it would go compressor > after cooler > tank > 1...

I thought it seemed ridicules for the output to be 250* haha! Nice looking setup!

I'll also look at belt guard mounted aftercoolers vs tubing.

Ok thanks guys. I'm a compressor noob who's been spoiled by Milwaukee cordless my entire adult life haha. I assumed discharge temp was tank discharge. The order shipped, and I got a hell of a deal ($660). I'm considering keeping it and designing a somewhat simple copper tube setup to get the...

It's the compressor's output / discharge temp that's the issue. With a reciprocating 2 stage it can be over 250* from what I'm reading. That dryer's rating for the air coming in is a max of 140*.

It does not. Canceled the order. Thank you! Will look at a high temp one or go with with a pipe setup.

North Texas / in between. Garage see's a reliable 40-60% humidity.

Thanks went ahead and ordered it.

Hey friends. I'm wanting a very low effort, very compact, air dryer & filter setup for a 2 car garage that is auto paint worthy. Space is a premium, and the last thing I need right now is another project (yes the brass pipe solutions are awesome, but I need to finish my project car haha). I want...

Their ball end wrenches still use the old process on the hex end. They sent me an inch set for bitching LOL.

I may use what should be called the "craftsman" tactic, and go hunt for some old stock locally this weekend. Lol

Naive. They can't compete with China in a price war. Taiwan is the best of both worlds when it comes to quality and price. I don't give a **** about country of origin. I just want quality tools. It's also more than cosmetic. The bends aren't even straight on several. I have them packed up to...

Exactly. That is what pissed me off the most. I was looking forward to building out my hex & torx collection with some nice tools. I literally have 3 sets of their T-handle wrenches, 4 sets of their L wrenches, and 3 sets of their screw drivers sitting in my Amazon cart. I'm glad I only ordered...

The nice customer service woman wasn't the correct channel for our dissent. I'll send a nice letter and a link to this thread to the company's chief of staff once I get some down time.
