[TheForge] Compressor..Small

[ries]

I am a big fan of the old Emglo line of small portable compressors.  
They are usually blue, with yellow graphics. I think Dewalt bought  
Emglo a couple of years ago, and stole the good part of their line. I  
am pretty sure you can now buy em either as Yellow Dewalts, or Blue  
Emglo's.
They make pancakes, or double tank wheelbarrow style, in both  
electric and gas powered.
My big, stationary 7 1/2hp Emglo is my main shop compressor, but I  
have a little portable pancake model thats pretty great too.

I have a Devilbiss Charge Air ...., a small portable compressor,

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.
