As I posted in another thread I'm moving to Georgia and the home we are buying has a detached 3 car garage. As any man cave should have a good air compressor I want opinions on what to get. I currently have a 110/220 volt 20 gallon Campbell Hausfeld. Still works great with no issues. However I think I want to move up to a vertical 60 gallon. Tractor Supply has a 5 hp 60 gallon single stage Ingersoll Rand for $799.99 with a 10% online discount plus free freight to the store I'd have to pick it up. So price is aprox. 719.00. Output is 18.1 cfm at 90 psi with 135 psi max.
I don't think I need a two stage as I'm just a DIYer that mostly runs air hand tools including air ratchets, impact guns that's about it. The man cave may allow a medium sand blast cabinet. Keep in mind just occasional use ( weekends ) not daily use. So what do you guys think of the IR compressor ? |
