Thread: Got a new Air Compressor for $700

most air tools require 14-19 cfm to run, if its only putting out 5-7 it beats up the compresser real bad,

Fortunately the tools I'm using are for small jobs, not fulltime work, and solely for my truck project right now, though I appreciate your thoughts. I wish I had the space for a larger setup, but it would be wasted on me and the amount of use it would get! Although watching Don's son's rpu project with the new body makes me want to get more experience!

It's like one of my old girl friends said,
better to have to much then not enogh,
when you really need it. I guess that I
learned that lesson the hard way.
HE! HE! HE!

Just got this air compressor for 200 used. It is a Campbell Hausfeld 5HP, 30 Gal tank. The people selling said their son bought it to paint his car, but only used it for prep, as their garage let too much dust in for finish painting.
The dad said it may have less than ten hours on it. It looks new, and the tank was stored with the bleeder open so it's dry inside and clean. I know I can sell it for what I paid for it if it doesn't work out, but I'm confident it will. It also came with a 50 ft air hose!

upright is good
