If you dont need it right away, I would check sears every week till Father's Day and see if there is some great ad for it.swingline said:What about the package I am talking about from Sears? Does that not seem like a good deal or should I look elsewhere?
swingline said:Sears has a 30gallon Craftsman compressor plus a 1/2" impact gun, impact wrench, and impact chisel plus the hose and connectors for $329. I don't really like Sears or Craftsman but this sounds like a good deal. What kind of compressors does everyone else have? I mainly just need air tools to help with my suspension install so I am unsure if I need something this big.
VibrantRedGT said:I have this set up. I bought mine last Christmas for $299 with the tools. The impact gun is tiny and won't take lugs off wheels. The impact wrench isn't all that bad. Mine did not come with the chisel. I went to Harbor Freight and bought there "Tornado" Impact gun for $70 (500 Ft lbs.). Can't believe how well it works. Also bought two 50 foot hoses and crap load of fittings. The air hose it comes with is crap so just throw it away. Hit up Harbor Freight.
swingline said:OT: RC, are you a pharmacist for Wal-Mart?
94GTLaserRC said:Yes
Anyway...Get their compressor and air ratchet...the air ratchet has some good tq to it..They also have a decent impact gun for a good price that I have used for my tires AND alternator pulley.
For the connectors, hoses, air blowers, tire gauges, die grinders, cutters, etc, I say Go to Harbour Freight.
GOOD LUCK!
RC
swingline said:Who's should I get? Wal-Mart's?
OT: Do you by chance know a guy named Bob Dufour?
swingline said:Bob is the big dog over all the pharmacies at Wal-Mart so I was just wondering if you knew him. Anyway, back on topic: I will keep my eyes open for a compressor since I don't need it right this minute. I only need it to help me put on my suspension which isn't going to happen for a while. That is mainly because I am going to buy new brakes since I have to take the old ones off anyway. Thanks guys for the help.
94droptop said:One of the most important things to look at when buying a compressor is the CFM rating. Look at the type of tools you are looking to operate and their CFM draw at their operating PSI. Horsepower and Max PSI are not always good indicators of a compressors power.
For example I just bought a 2.5 HP Eagle compressor with twin 2 gallon tanks for my roofing nailer and it flows 4.1 cfm at PSI, CH and others sell 5 HP compressors that will not flow that much air and cost more. The other thing to consider is noise a oil free is much louder than a oil lubricated compressor.
Take a look at the tools you want to operate and they should show what their CFM draw is at their operating PSI and then you can see if you are buying a compressor that meets your needs.
It is better to pay a little more up front than to find out down the road it won't do what you want it to do like run your DA sander or air chisel, etc.
