Air Compressor Recommendation
« on: February 20, 2017, 12:20:30 pm »
Our Baptist Disaster Relief Team is looking to purchase an Air Compressor.
We are hoping to get an electric, 8 to 10 gallon, pancake type compressor.

It needs to be very reliable, need little maintenance, able to run on dirty portable generator power and compressor air to about 150psi.

With the aid of an Air Gun Nozzle, It's primary use will be to clean chainsaws.

We are willing to spend some money to get a good one.

What do you guys think????

Thanks

Don't get an oil less one. The one I've got would wake the dead.

I'll second a vote for Quincy.  Wish we had one in the shop growing up.  We made do with a homemade job that did the work but sounded like it was trying to resurrect something like DC's.
