Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Gas/electric, size, power, features, etc. Minor garage work, tire inflation, maybe some air tools, etc. Any suggestions for something small and simple with good reputation? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

Eric, I have a pancake electric compressor (2 hp/6gallon) and it does all my need with my impact wrench. If you buy an impact wrench, get a good one (porter cable or ingersoll rand) that has at least 400ft/lbs of torque. I bought my compressor at Sears, occassional they have them on sale (probably for about $275-300).

POST 3Original post

Eric, If you are just going to use it for an impact wrench and filling tires then a small compressor will do. An impact wrench really doesn't use much air. If you want to use a rotary cutting tool or a drill then you will want something much bigger. Tools that run constantly rather than in short bursts require much more air. My advice would be to get the biggest one you can fit in your garage. You can always grow into it later. The down side to a big compressor is, of course, portability. Jim

Lots of 'em on Ebay. Some with wheels and pretty cheap too
