Air compressors low stock

[Nthill93]

Looking to pick up a 60 Gal to use with my plasma cutter since my 25 gal won’t keep up. Nothing at Home Depot Lowe’s or tsc. Nothing even on Amazon. I guess this is due to COVID? Only thing I can find it stock is the 60 gal craftsman from Lowe’s for $650 but it’s a far drive. Any one have any input on those? Nothing worth it on fb marketplace either.

They must all be at my local Tractor Supply. I was there yesterday and the compressor aisle was stacked. I don't think I've ever seen them with so many. 5 gal to 80 gal.

Do you have a Harbor Freight near you? They have a decent compressor selection and they're usually equal to the bix box store brands in my experience (and sometimes exactly the same). My current compressor was bought used but is a harbor freight. I confirmed it was made by Bellaire/American IMC though which brings (some?) comfort. As a 60 gallon 2 stage 5hp compressor it was cheaper used than my previous 26 gallon 2 hp single phase Quincy which is also made by Atlas Copco (part of the same group). Difference is the Quincy pump was made in china and the HF pump was made in italy.

Just a thought.

Checked there too. No 60 gals in stock anywhere near me. I guess they’re discontinuing them since they’re on clearance

I would try Keystone Air Power in Myerstown, PA. I know they are not close to you but that is where I would look next.

Yup, there were two 60ga and one 80ga out on the floor (Dewalt & IR) at my local TSC today.
