Ive been stretching out 100' of air hose to reach my driveway for filling tires and the very occasional use of an impact gun on the driveway. It's a PIA so Ive been toying with buying another compressor for my attached garage but really couldn't justify it for the amount of times I would use it. I picked up this "dead compressor" for free on Craigslist. I dragged it home and checked the capacitors and found the 30uf run cap dead. I replaced it, added a new air cleaner and it runs and sounds perfect. :cool:

I was considering sending the guy I got it from a thank you email in which I would tell him what was wrong with it.....But I don't think he would want to know it was a $12 cap.

Yours is a little bit nicer than mine but i also got a USA CH air compressor for free off CL. It was posted as a "first come first serve garbage pile" i just happened to be near it and grabbed it just ahead of someone. Its a 15 gallon or so and is perfect for tires at home.
