Hey.......anyone out there got a 60 or 80-Gal compressor they aren't using??

Sooooooooooooooooo............It looks like you need to buy a separate regulator for pressure out with these larger units.......does that sound right to you guys??

I was going to out in a water trap anyhow but just wondering??

I always put one on anyways, and leave the compressor reg (if it has one) wide open.

I have mine plumbed with separate lines and 1 reg so I have a tire filler hose that is always full PSI.

I think my vertical Husky has the same cylinder config as the kobalt you are looking at. Mine leaks oil a little and is louder than I would have liked. Mine is wired and plugged into 110 and I need to change that. They run like crap that way.

I have a Sears professional horizontal 26gal in HB. It is awesome. Quiet and other than replacing a belt / oil changes has ran really well. I have had for 12 years. If you guys get any of the models let me know the feedback. I wish you could here them run at the store. That would effect my buying decsion.

Yes on both.
I think the crafty thing would be to split the discharge and have one side regulated to 90 psi and the other full pressure. That way you don't forget to adjust pressure down for small air tools. 90 psi tools don't like getting banged at 150.

That's a good idea.........keep the plumbed system at ~90 PSI and a direct line out to the air line I use for tires at fthe full 150 as I use the compressor about 50% of the time just to air the Jeep tires back up after off-roading.......thanks

OK.....Little change of direction and want to get your opinions.

This is certainly not the same kind of compressor but will likely meet all my needs and with 33 GA and 165 PSI it should meet my needs and be a quick plug and play.......not to mention at a substantial price difference. It is also a rotary compressor vs. a piston so an upgrade in technology as well...........whatdoyouguysthink???

I don't know Paul, theres something about having a 60 or 80 gallon tank in your shop, kinda looks badass.
Seriously the one you posted would be fine. The only time I have needed big was to break lug nuts on RV with 1" impact.

This is what I have in my garage in Havasu. Never had any problems.

Yeah I know......I agree 60GA is the shit but.............my 4GA with 120 PSI is actually doing the job right now for everything but blowing out the garage to I'm guessing that I can make this one work for quite a while.......and I won't even have to change the oil like I do now
