man I surely want a compressor like that! I think it'd be overkill for running my little air ratchet though haha

Ranger Dale is right. What is stated horsepower wise is not always right. Craftsman is a very guilty party in borderline false advertising. They advertise a compressors peak, or starting HP and not it's running horsepower. A single horsepower is 746 watts. A regular wall outlet has 120...

At initial glance it looks similar to some Harbor Freight compressors, but looking more closely I believe I see some differences. Personally I'd pony up the dough for one of their campbell hausfeld compressors as they can be had for a few pretty pennies more, and come with a 3 year warranty...

Pretty much what everyone else is saying, goodyear hoses are pretty good, I've had some cheaper Harbor Freight ones before and the goodyear blows them away. The longer the hose you get, you'll want a larger diameter. Also depends on the tools you intend to run. I wouldn't get a 50 foot hose...

Hey guys, whats the concensus on soda blasting, say, a cylinder head? I just soda blasted part of mine but the finish looks slightly different. I've read it doesn't affect the aluminum and it's one of the prefered methods of cleaning some engine components, but the appearance change from pre...

what kindof socket organizers are those? I like!

No reason, if it's the same weight, do it! If not, get the recommended weight for the other compressors.

I just read an article in one of my dirt rider magazines where the author said he bought the pressure washer for the same reason you did! then worked out the math and figured it'd be tens of years before it paid itself off :scared: haha but you get the convenience though. And as mentioned...

I use amsoil in all my compressors, treats me just fine! What weight oil do you need? you might be able to get some great oil here: http://www.amsoil.com/a/synthetic-compressor-oil-lubricants?zo=5044651 My old cambell hausfeld took about 3/4 of a bottle. You might want to play it safe and...

That compressor tank looks good! Great finds on those compressors! How hard is the re-alignment of the belts/pulleys & such any tricks to do it just right? I have an old compressor I want to paint but I don't want too much of a hassle re aligning the puleys, as I believe misalignment will...

About a month or so ago I bought a Campbell Hausfeld off craigslist. It is a late 70's compressor that still pumps out LOTS of air and operates as intended. Haven't gotten much use out of it to date but the previous owner assured me he'd been giving it hell for the past 30 something years...

Go ahead and get the largest compressor you can buy that'll run a regular wall outlet. An oiled one would be nice since they are sometimes a little quieter and can last longer than oil less. Of course there are some excellent oil less compressors out there, that may be well worth your...
