    Thanks for the excellent review and demo of the compressor. Also, very helpful that you used it for 9 months prior to your review. I bought this model from Home Depot in early December 2018 for $289. They gave another $20 off the sale price of $309 when I asked for an additional discount. It's been running great. No odor at all. No leaks and holds the same pressure for days. A few minor issues the first day, but easy to correct. The clearance at the bottom of the tank to the floor is quite close. Careful plumbing is needed for the drain extension. Your review helped tip the scale in favor of this compressor.

      Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful. I would agree with you on the tank clearance. Is pretty tight under there.

    I bought mine and it's flawless. I did buy the husky drain adapter kit. The smell is minor. I use mine for automotive and atv repair. It runs the shit out of my impacts, blowguns, die grinder, and air ratchet. It's just awesome. Way quieter than older oilless compressors. Great buy. My tools run at 90psi but I set my regulator to 100psi to compensate for initial air line draw. Watch your regulator and squeeze the trigger and you'll see what I'm talking about.

    Bought the same model today from Home Depot will go back and get the extender for the drain valve very difficult up close and open. So far very happy no leaks seems to run flawlessly plenty of pressure to run my impact gun to take off tires and as well as Sanders and everything else that I use this afternoon for the first time on it very pleased with the with it. I paid $279 for it. I also purchased a new 50 foot hose for it. I had a Craftsman 30 gallon air compressor for the last 18 years and believe it or not not one problem until this week. It finally gave out and the run capacitor was bad, I just decided to get a new air compressor.

    The plastic wheels are kind of fragile and (IMHO) too small, so if you are planning to move it a lot, specially - up and down the stairs, you may have to think of upgrading to bigger/inflatable wheels. Also, the way it is boxed gives an opportunity to put it back in, return to the store and then re-sell as "new", so you might buy it damaged or missing things (mine had no manual),

    I got a 20 gallon husky air compressor from Home Depot on January 2 and just picked it up today I’m upgrading from 2 gallon 100 psi air compressor from I would assume Harbor freight I don’t know exactly where it was from that’s just the tag on the side of my old one which the compressor switch on my old one was faulty so that’s why I purchased the 20 gallon husky air compressor from Home Depot because I do quite a bit with it or should I say I’m starting to do quite a bit with my air compressor such as blasting stuff off air in my tires up on my chair

    How much CFM do I need to air my fifth wheel that requires 90 psi? Also, what air compressor would you recommend for that?

    • @EveningWoodworker
      @EveningWoodworker  4 года назад

      I'm not an expert on this by any means, but typically if the compressor has a higher psi than what you're filling up, you should be able to fill it no problem. The size of the tank mainly determines how long until it has to run the motor again. Does the fifth wheel have any requirements on the CFM needed? Is it a continuous flow of air or is it just pressurized and slowly drained when needed?

    • @OSUBuckeye
      @OSUBuckeye 4 года назад

      Jim Karamanis The regulator tops out at 130psi. I can't turn the knob any higher than that.

    • @kennethshaw8388
      @kennethshaw8388 5 лет назад +2

      My regulator on the C303H will give a max of just under 150 psi at the full 175 psi tank pressure. If you need full tank pressure you can tap into full tank pressure at the left side of the manifold where the pressure relief valve is. Will require some plumbing work with 1/4" npt. Always reinstall the pressure valve.

      Are you talking about the safety valve with the ring up by the regulators? Mine doesn't open during normal operation. I think they're usually designed to open when the pressure goes to an unsafe level.

    • @EveningWoodworker
      @EveningWoodworker  4 года назад

      When a compressor compresses there outside air, the air has moisture in it already. The air compresses but the moisture accumulates into droplets inside your tank. This will start to pool in the bottom and if not drained, it can cause your tank to rust through. It's important to drain it regularly to avoid the possibility of it rusting through your tank.
