Recommend an Air Compressor
My Craftsman suddenly developed armature problems and i don't think it's too cheap to have fixed.
It was a good one and is no longer manufactured. I want to buy a new (or reconditioned) one within $120-$180 that's reasonably comparable to mine. Here are the specs: 2HP 150 PSI peak SCFM: 3.7@40PSI/2.6@90PSI Permanent Lube 6 gal tank I'm looking at these; - Bostitch CAP2000P-OF-R (recon.) $120 (http://www.cpobostitch.com/factory-r...cgid=#prReview) - WEN 6-gallon 2HP $125 (http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden...2/product.html) - Hitachi EC510 (from local Lowes) $150 +/- (forgot exact) I haven't found anything reasonable in Craftsman or DeWalt. What do you recommend? I need to make a quick decision. it's holding up the final touches of my long ongoing remod. |
Recomment?
I have a 5 hp, 80 gal vertical that has been awesome for 30 years. No idea about any of those little ones, but good luck. |
I'm sure you can just trade two 2nd round picks, and pick up a retread Air Compressor from the 49ers. Should work out just fine.

;) 80 gall is too much for me. Ideally 10-15 gall is what I would like, but the 6 gall one seemed to be the acceptable minimum for me. |
What are you’re needs for an air compressor? Are you just airing up tires once in a while or are you running a die grinder or sander?
|
You need to make sure you don't get one that when you're filling up a tire, it doesn't break in midair...

I was all ready to buy the Hitachi one at Lowes last night. But when I read Amazon customers and their reviews cooled me off. Amazingly they had a lot of bad stuff to say about the Bostitch as well. I thought Bostitch was supposed to be a very respected brand. Am I wrong?

I like the looks of that Wen more than the Bostitch for the fact its not an oil-less compressor. Oil-less are cheap but the buzzing noise will get on your nerves quickly, particularly in a confined space, and they don’t typically last as long. |

The Wen, BTW, is the one I'm leaning more towards. |
Any one of those pancakes will suit you just fine... Even though it says it won't run a framing nailer, it will. It's not like you're going to be framing as fast as a pro. I'd drop $150 on the Porter Cable.

Nail guns are momentary use, and not sustained, so the smaller ones will work I guess, but I doubt too many people are going to rave about them in reviews. |

I’ve been looking for a good 2 cylinder 220V oil filled compressor to take it’s place but they aren’t exactly giving those things away. |
