    Sandborn air comp. review

    Hey I didn't argue the point. The best part of the whole thing was that the 20 gal was "huge" according her so when I brought home the 60 her jaw hit the floor and that's when she got mad. She was made because it was big and not because I slightly lied to her about how much I spent. I wish I...

    Sandborn air comp. review

    A buddy of mine has the 60gal and loves it. He has had it for about 2years. One thing I would highly recommend is do the break-in and then change the oil to synthetic if the machine is in an unheated area. His started hard in the winter (I live in Wisconsin) until he put synthetic in. I had...

    What would you do?

    the paint on pumps was in good shape and I don't remember seeing any oil leaking.....I think If I was to pick them up I would just run one pump and either sell the other or referb it as well and use it as a back up if I ever needed it

    What would you do?

    Last week I was at the scrap yard getting some material and in my digging I cam across an IR duplex type 30 air compressor. I spun pumps and motor by hand and everything spun freely with no wobble. At the time I just walked away thinking that's kind of cool and that was that. Well...

    Hockey Pucks on Compressor

    I don't mean to high jack the thread but can you use isolator pads/hockey pucks and not bolt the compressor down? Just picked up a 60 this weekend and looking to install

    Another Air compressor thread

    either compressor would take me a while to "burn up or wear out" But 5000 vs 20000 that's a big difference and it makes me worry a little.

    Another Air compressor thread

    I have been looking at buying a budget friendly 60 gallon air compressor for my garage. So far I am going between the Kobalt (CH rebadge $399) and the Puma at Northern Tool ($539). My worry is on the kobalt it says "up to 5000 hour bearing life but it has a 3 year warranty. The Puma...

    help decide on a compressor

    My buddy bought the Sanborn one a little while ago (6-8months) nice compressor but a little on the loud side for me. I haven't heard the others but I do say for the money its hard to beat the Sanborn. If you want to match the Kobalt look at Fleet Farm/ Farm and Fleet at the Magna Force...
