    Ace Hardware BF Coupon

    Don't seem to require ACE rewards card this year. Might be good for multiple store visits with change of hat and face mask.

    Tractor Supply Deals Thread

    That model is sold in many different colors and brand names. I have the Porter-Cable version. I think they're all really made by CH.

    2020 Lowe's deals/sales/clearance thread

    I just bought six and I'm perfectly satisfied with the quality. Sure there are better ones out there but for $2.80 they'll be fine for my usage.

    Help with new(used) compressor

    Although the compressor has been working, it sounded like it's struggling to reach 155psi. Today I installed a dedicated 240 outlet and rewired the motor. What a difference! Sounds like it's running at double speed effortlessly. I guess the CFM rating would have to be much better now. Soon I'll...

    Help with new(used) compressor

    Interesting idea. Sometime I'll get out my heat gun and meter and check the whole house. I guess if the pool pump, water heater, and well pump happen to be on at the same time(very possible), there would be a drop off for the rest of the house. The house was built in 2001.

    Help with new(used) compressor

    Thanks again for all the suggestions. The original unloader valve was not working, the new one is. I tried many outlets on different breakers when trying to solve this before I replaced the unloader valve. It didn't matter which outlet I tried, they all flipped a breaker. After replacing the...

    I installed the replacement unloader valve and it didn't solve the problem. I guess I need to learn about capacitors.

    Help with new(used) compressor

    Lots of compressors use a plastic line to the unloader. I found a UTube of my exact model and the guy measured the outlet air temp at the cyl head at 120 max. Unfortunately the switch you linked is not the correct one. The correct one is $30xx. I can get just the unloader valve on ebay for $12.60.

    Help with new(used) compressor

    Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions! I have no way to check the actual current draw. I checked and the motor IS correctly wired for 120V. The unloader is a plastic angle fitting under the pressure switch connected to a plastic line running to the compressor discharge fitting. After the...

    FLA 15/7.5 What can I do about the unloader? Is it serviceable?

    Help with new(used) compressor

    I just bled it, started it and ran it to shutoff at 155. There was NO noticeable air blast or hiss or anything. What do I do next?

    Yes it restarted at about 90psi or so at the sellers house. We ran it then bled it down until it restarted at least twice. I don't know what amp circuit the seller had. I will have to check on the unloader valve as I know nothing about this.

    Help with new(used) compressor

    I just bought a used 30gal V-twin Porter Cable 120V. It worked fine at the sellers house but at my garage it doesn't. With the tank pressurized below 20PSI or so it starts and runs perfectly up to 155PSI. When it starts at anything above 30PSI , it starts and makes a few revs but then slows and...

    It's usually no better than any of the other "sales". Basically coupon prices without needing a coupon.

    Do we need to winterize our pressure washers freeze coming!

    I've been thinking of using auto antifreeze/coolant due to anti corrosive properties. Just haven't figured out how to get it through the pump. Maybe it would just be easier to invest the $10 and use the "pump saver". How many uses can I get out of a typical can of pump saver?
