@kooolaid79 For limited space, get this Dewalt. Very easy to use. It doesn’t come with any free tools/hose like some brands but freebie tools are low quality anyways. The money you pay on a compressor is all in the motor, not the size of the tank. That’s why don’t think a cheap big tank must be good. Find one that is 5 SCFM@90PSI (not @40PSI). My friend bought a Sears unit that’s about 1′ shorter than this Dewalt & found out it doesn’t have enough SCFM to power a heavy duty 1/2″ impact wrench
@dial2fast Thank you for replying back to me. I actually rent a place and I have a shared garage with one of my neighbors. I dont think I have that much space for something bigger. How easy is it to use? Also what all comes with this compressor? Would you recommend I go something smaller? Again my use will only be limited to my cars which I need for taking out the tires lugs Rotors etc. I dont think I will ever spray paint. Thanks again!
@kooolaid79 This compressor has worked very well for me this past year and I am happy with it. Plenty of pressure to drive most air tools I have. It can handle most mechanical air tools except for maybe spray paint guns. I would recommend this if you need a smaller footprint unit and easy to move around. If you have more space, you can look at an oil filled unit that is bigger at Home Depot at around $400 and up. Don’t get Sears, they are crap.
Hi there,
Has this compressor worked good for your car? I am thinking of investing some money into a tank but I dont want to be too expensive about it. Would you recommend this to be a good buy? Also in your other video your setup looks very nice. Kinda reminds me of the saltwater tank setup I had a few years back. Thanks
terrible sound
@JasonfromMinnesota Oil pump means it needs oil for lubrication and tend to be quieter and lasts longer; oil free pumps don’t have oil inside and tend to be louder and might not last as long depending on the quality of the motor.
what is the differance between oil-free pump vs oiled pump
@dial2fast thanks im thinking about getting the dewalt
@southernjags Of course we know the bigger the better, but you should at the very least get something that is 5 SCFM @ 90PSI (not @ 40PSI), and at least 15 gallon tank. The higher SCFM number will allow you to run higher demanding air tools like sanders and spray guns. The bigger tank will allow you to run your tools longer without having the compressor cycle on constantly to fill the tank. Also, oil-free pump tend to be noisier than oiled pump.
