[TheForge] Compressor..Small

[Ron Childers]

I have a Devilbiss Charge Air ...., a small portable compressor, horizontal
w/2 wheels. Adequate to run a couple of nail guns. I think I bought it at
Lowe's about 15 years ago, but I heard they don't sell them anymore. My
son-in-law's HF compressor has dumped 3 times in 3 months. He has a 3yr
warranty, and they replace it, but what good is a compressor that won't
deliver even when new? I tried to find a portable Devilbiss on line, but
they all want me to buy a trailer mounted diesel powered unit. Who sells
these smaller units anymore? If s-i-l breaks mine I will need a rebuild kit
or I would buy another. (I want to add on to my shop/barn.)

Thankx, Ron C

Mark,

I run my 30 pounder with a 6HP with a total of 120
gallon of air tanks. It's not so much the compressor
as it's the air volume you have.
