These all perform close to the same and are within budget so who wins the longevity-quality contest. Cheapest - HF 29 gallon ($355) Cheapest- Porter cable...

    Help deciding on which air compressor to purchase!!!

    Thnx for the vote fordman. Yeah I am limited to these specs of these compressors for now I would love to go bigger but feel they should do what I need them to and understand their limitations. Mostly looking for opinions/ experiences on best quality in this class for longevity and price/performance

    Help deciding on which air compressor to purchase!!!

    As stated above I have both air tools and a few more toys than probly needed but they all serve a purpose from time to time. My pancake cfm is like 2.5 i wanna say. I tried taking off a 24 mm bolt the other day and it barely started to get it loose before the compressor cycled on. I agree i...

    Help deciding on which air compressor to purchase!!!

    Yes I worked as a mechanic for dealership about 4 years before I quit and went back to school. So everything I have is good quality snap on, matco and ingersol for the ratchets, impacts, air hammers and grinders. When you say electric do you mean to say oil less? Or electric tools?

    I am considering the HF 29 gallon now after reading more about them. Any idea how long you can get the warranty to extend until? and an approx. cost of warranty I cant find any info on their website. Also, ran across this Northstar at northern tool. Same specs as ingersol but almost 100 bucks...

    Help deciding on which air compressor to purchase!!!

    Ya it seems like these mid sized compressors really **** for price to performance, they barely beat the smaller compressors and are almost as expensive as decent 60 gallon units. I need about 5-6 years of light usage overall with the occasional weekend project where I beat it for a few hours. My...

    Help deciding on which air compressor to purchase!!!

    I would love a big 60 gallon especially for the cost of these mid tier compressors but no 220v plug and I haven't seen any 60 gallon compressor that is 120v. and i don't have the option to be adding a 220v. I like the thought process though

    As the title states I am looking to buy a new compressor and my head is spinning in circles on which one to get. I will mostly be doing small automotive stuff, light impact use and occasional very small grinder use so these are around the specs I am looking for. List of compressors from...
