Default Importance of water filter in air line
fired this volley in
:

I do not think putting a filter between the tank and the hose is such
a problem but that is *not* what the manufacturers of air tools
recommend.


What the hell did you read to get that, Mike?

ALL air tools call for "filtered, dried, and (sometimes) lubricated air".

I have filters (plural) on my compressor. In line, they create a total
line drop of 4psi at 9 SCFM. If you need more air than that, you need a
big scroll rig.

Where DID you come up with that?
