    compressors under $300

    you haven't mentioned what you mainly use it for. Either way, if you can I would also recommend at least a 60 gallon. Even if you have to do wiring, it's definitely worth it. The thing with 30 gallons or less is they almost always have to be running. My brother has a 30 gallon and it won't...

    HOT DEAL Index!!

    thanks for the super quick reply and info. Actually I totally forgot my air compressor is 220. Only it's directly hardwired right now. Would it be much for a electrician to wire in an outlet for the two?

    where are you guys finding the 1/2 to 1/4 adapter? The only one I could find was a brass one in the plumbing section and it seems like the thread is off a little bit. It just doesn't screw it all the way.

    Chase - thanks for the pictures. If only my garage was more deserving of a nice and shiny air system. depending on the prices of the pipes, I was thinking of just going with 1/2 inch piping for now. 10 feet should cover everything. I already dropped $30 on additional couplers already. the...

    Do you leave your air compressor on?

    I turn mine off but leave the air in the tank. With it almost full all the time, sometimes I don't even need to turn it on. I also shut it off the air at the compressor just in case.
