I am new to compressors and am looking at a Husky right now that I can get a good deal on. I will be using it for pretty much anything and everything automotive related from an HVLP spray gun to grinders and impact wrenches. It is VERY unlikely that more than one tool would be operated at any given time. It will be going in a standard 2 car garage as well.
I am looking at the Husky Quiet Series VLH1583009.01. Here is a snip-it from HowStuffWorks Consumer Guide:
With impressive features and the ability to dramatically reduce run noise, the new Husky Quiet Series VLH1583009.01 air compressor is a valuable workhorse for the money. This 30-gallon unit features a powerful 1.5-horsepower universal motor that delivers an industry-leading 155 maximum pounds per square inch (PSI) for longer run time. This compressor also offers airflow rates of 4 cubic feet per minute (CFM) at 90 PSI and 6 CFM at 40 PSI. Whether you're putting up a fence or installing a ceiling, there's plenty of pressure to pop one nail after the other. the VLH1583009.01 can also supply ample pressure to operate impact wrenches, air hammers, die grinders, air drills and cut-off tools.
This new compressor features the ability to significantly reduce noise. With Light Duty, Medium Duty and Heavy Duty settings, you can select the duty rating that best matches your project, and the lesser ratings offer comparably lowered noise levels. Light Duty operates at 70 decibels, while Medium duty runs at 79 decibels, which is still relatively quiet. Heavy Duty is good for even the most heavy-duty tools, and at this setting, the VLH1583009.01 runs at the standard 85 decibels.
The large air tank is surprisingly maneuverable thanks to a heavy-duty handle and wheels. Other convenient features include a space-saving upright tank design, easy-to-read pressure gauges, a maintenance- and oil-free pump, a quick-connect air outlet and integrated tool holder and tool tray. For an added surprise, Husky throws in a tool bonus kit that includes a 1/2-inch impact wrench, 3/8-inch ratchet wrench, air hammer with chisels, die grinder with stones, spray gun, heavy-duty tire inflator and 25-foot air hose and connectors.
Now, I the retail is $299 and they are on clearance. There is one at my store that was returned and does not have the tools (which is great because I have most of them already which are better quality). I can get it for $150. Is this a good deal and will it be okay with what I want to use it for?
