Hey
I need to gat an air compressor/pump for simple home use. Just to inflate
car tires maybe other objects about the house but the big deal is our camper
which requires 80 psi. I'm not looking for anything too fancy but I do want
something to handle that load and not take all day to do it. Any
suggestions? Where to purchase? Expected cost?
Thanks a lot,
Ed

Well, the cheapies are just that, CHEAP! it might fill up the tire in about
an hour. (these comps are under $100)
Your next option is a portable type that requires 110 vt (not 12 vt), but
they are LOUD! They work the best for the requirements you have.
Then you have what I have an Ingersol Rand, (high cost @850.00) but quiet
(kinda) I use mine for many other things other than filling tires. This
thing will do everything I could possibly want.
I would say that what you are looking for is a Crapsman (sears) oil filled
compressor, you can get it for around 200 and it will do what you need.]]

There are many compressors in the $200 range that will give you a modest
reserve and the pressure you need. The pancake compressors, such as the
Porter Cable will work for that. Some come with kits that include staplers
and nail guns. Any home center will have them.

Don't forget Harbor Freight, for $200 at HD or Lowes they have an
equivalent performance and quality compressor for about $100.

For that, I would buy the smallest and cheapest oil-filled compressor I
could find. Something like this (but don't believe the 4HP rating, or
even the 3HP in fine print, it's probably actually closer to 1.5HP):
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=90234
The picture looks like a direct drive. I'd rather have belt-driven, but
don't know what's available that small.
BTW, buying a brand name compressor does not get you honest horsepower
or CFM ratings until you get into industrial brands, like Quincy.
Best regards,
Bob
