Compressor Gloat
So, I was in Grainger today picking up a 3/8" NPT tap to do a quickie repair
job for my FIL (his spring mechanic's air table actuator valve had a 3/8" pipe nipple broken off in it). This was to be performed before my head exploded from the fever that had been pounding me the better part of the week. As soon as I walk in the door, I see it. A gasoline powered air compressor capable of 11.8CFM @ 90psi. I had bee thinking about getting one, but the budget didn't allow. 'Til now. Grainger had the thing at less than half off. The reason? It had a leaky regulator, so the the local Ingersoll-Rand sevice center repaired & tested it. They had to put gas in it to do so. Grainger can't sell an item with gas in it as new. This means a $985 compressor for $450. Plus the gas in the tank. I took it outside to "try before I buy". It has a similar Honda engine that my pressure washer has, so I know how to set all the levers. Started up first pull. A little noisy, but pressures up quickly and then idles down to a whisper. I'll take it. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/4YW08 Maybe now I'll get off my ass and install the quarter round on the baseboards in the house... |
