i was looking through my Griots Garage Catalogue last night and i came accross this air compressor. i have a smaller, one car garage that is 10x18 and already has some shelves and a work bench in it, not to mention my car.
here is the discription from GG:
\PORTABLE AND POWERFUL. THIS 150 PSI AIR COMPRESSOR IS PERFECT FOR YOUR GARAGE.
When comparing the performance of this air compressor to other larger and more expensive units, I was stunned. Though it fits into a small cabinet or underneath a workbench, it outperforms other air compressors twice its size! What's important in an air compressor? Its ability to deliver an ample supply of air (measured in standard cubic feet per minute, SCFM) to run a variety of air driven tools, tire inflators, brake bleeders, paint guns, etc. When the 4.5 gallon tank's air supply dips to 110 psi and automatic cut-in activates for sustained performance. For safety a cut-off is activated at 150 psi so the tank doesn't over fill. With this compressor and the appropriate air tools, you can quickly change tires, loosen those repetitive fasteners (like on oil pans), fill tires, blow clean the workbench or blow out clogged windshield nozzles (last week's project...) The list is endless. Impressive air delivery of 7.7 SCFM @ 40psi and 6 SCFM @ 90psi. At only 22 1⁄4"w x 28 1⁄2"d and 14" tall, it easily fits in a trunk should you want to take it to a remote job site. An extendable handle and tubeless rubber tires make it completely mobile, even over rough terrain. The quiet 3.5 peak HP motor draws only 15 amps and runs on 120V household current via the 5 1⁄2" 3-wire grounded power cord. ASME safety valve and built-in air regulator are installed and the unit is oil-free. The faceplate is removable and can be mounted above your work bench, to a wall or wherever using an extension hose (hose not included.) Once you've had an air compressor in your garage, it's hard to imagine living without one.
GG offers it for $379, well knowing how much they mark things up i went looking for the same model elsewhere and found it on amazon for about $100 less.
I dont know too much about air compressors and i have never had one. I would like to use some air tools, be able to blow water off the car after washing and maybe even do a little painting. I would like the unit to be quiet because i have a neighbor's bed room above my garage and i like to work earlier in the mornings on the weekend.
I would like to store it on the bottom of one of my shelves so that it doenst take up any of my floor space.
SO! what do you guys think?
