Spec’d out compressors @ Lowes, Home Depot, & Sears. Looking at this one:
[http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=137603-71025-KLA4508065&lpage=none](http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=137603-71025-KLA4508065&lpage=none)
> Hi-Flo, cast-iron, single-stage oil-lubricated pump16.1 SCFM @ 40 PSI / 14.0 SCFM @ 90 PSI
> 80 gal vert. tank
> $599
> Looking for 220v, 60+ gal tank, 10+ cfm @ 90#s. $500 price range.
> Uses: air ratchet, da, grinder, light hvlp paint duty, & general purpose.
> Prefer oil lube for longer lifespan.
Anyone suggestions?
Other stores?
Any shops going out of business?
Don’t really want to ship a 200# compressor…
Purchase by next weekend.
TIA

Apparently Kobalts have extremely strict warranties.

I wouldn’t trust a HF compressor if you want it to last. Ingersol Rand make great air tools.

Their compressors are top notch. There is a sweet 60 gallon 12.6cfm at 90psi for $400 its 220V = dryer outlet. I owned it. It was good quality and reasonably quiet.
Single stage oil sumped. They have sold dozens of them and have recived nothing buy praise.

Here’s the number for the used equipment broker I used to equip my shop:
Karson Equipment
585-786-3930
They’re about halfway between Warsaw and Wyoming on RT 19 just south of Brock Yates’ house.
Seriously, you cannot get a better deal on shop equipment anywhere.
