    Using extension cord with air compressor?

    The chart you link seems to say 12 or 10ga is needed for 25ft for a compressor, though all the charts go off of "amperage rating", which is much lower than their chart (listing air compressors at 16-20a) Also, it seems a simple air hose upgrade may be easier than worrying about an extension...

    Using extension cord with air compressor?

    Didnt even think about doing a volt meter, or my distance from panel, if I am being honest... Not that I doubt the start up current is higher, so I dont know if I will be doing that. My thought process was: 1. I have a 25ft hose that I was going to use for airing up tires. I have cars that...

    Using extension cord with air compressor?

    Thanks all. I am aware of the spike in current on start-up, and as noted there are lots of appliances with longer cords running without problems too. The same outlet I will be using (not at the same time, of course), also has my larger (Husky Pro/CH VT6315) compressor plugged in, and it is...

    Using extension cord with air compressor?

    Mostly because I already have a 10 or 15' 16-3 cord in the garage, along with a ~20ft one from a damaged 50' cord that I put new ends on (should have just bought a new one in retrospect, based on the cost of the ends...), and I thought it might be enough. Just seems odd to use something rated...

    Using extension cord with air compressor?

    Im sorry if this has been asked and answered, but I went through pages searching and didn't quite find an answer. Recently purchased a California Air Tools 5510SE for basic inflation duty. Motor is rated at: 110v / 60 hz * Low Amp Draw - 8.5 Amps Manual says "do not use extension cord"...

    reconditioned Milwaukee fuel drill/impact set $200

    They have already done a warranty exchange on the item, costing them $. Why would they then sell the item for you at 1/2 (or less) price, and provide you with new batteries, and give you the exact same warranty benefits as someone that paid full price for the tools?

    Zoro Deals Thread

    Yes, and I brought that up in my conversation with them. The whole "zoro is a subsidiary, shipping and stock is direct from Grainger's warehouses, should have a packing slip with Grainger's name coming to my house", etc. That did not change the answer they gave me on the phone. I went...

    Zoro Deals Thread

    Interesting, makes you wonder why the mix up and why they tell callers "no, Zoro wont work", and then send the rebate anyways. Oh well, either way, I have a welder, a rebate in my bank account, and a sold spool gun that agrees with everyone else (except Miller when you call in) saying it does...

    Zoro Deals Thread

    Definitely, but seems to be a low risk now. Millers CS = very helpful, but my guess is a third party company is handling the rebates, as they dont seem to care at all about Zoro :dunno: :willy_nil

    Zoro Deals Thread

    There are a lot of those that have received the rebate. I dont understand if you are actually looking to buy, or just posting to try to cause some sort of panic or problem? Note - my posts in this thread detail my phone call to Miller about Zoro (they explained they weren't an approved...

    Zoro Deals Thread

    Yes, they will - I bought a bit over $400 in extras (Zoro pricing, pre-discount). They did not seem to worry about discounts applied. My total, including sales tax, was a little over $1300 AFTER the 30% off and sales tax were added back in (~1700 before discount was applied, a bit under $1200...
