Hi guys,
I’m looking for recommendations for a new air compressor for my home work shop. I’m looking for a unit that is capable of doing some painting, grinding, DA sanding, hence, around 60 gallons and around 11/10 scfm at 40/90 psi. The unit will be used 1-2 per week, hence, I don’t need a full-blown pro model, but I don’t want to wait forever to build up pressure. I checked Home Depot, Lowes and HF and their unites between $450 – 600. It looks like they are all the same, from a performance and customer ratings point-of-view. What can you guys recommend? Thanks, Dragan |
