Air compressors

I have a 150 psi 2hp 30 gallon Kobalt compressor from Lowes that I think has given up the ghost. Why you ask? Cause I break crap and when I give up trying to fix it, whoever I rook into fixing it usually likes to have an air compressor to do it, cause when I break it, I break it good.

Anyhow, the compressor has been a disappointment from the jump. Way too long to fill and 3 times too loud. When it's running, you can't think never mind hear.

So, I'm hoping it really is door knob dead so I can tell Is I have to replace it.

So, recommendations? And don't come at me all Ingersal Rand 240v 2 stage 600 lbs worth. This is my money we are spending, not G's. I want to stay 20-30 gallons so if I have to, it can be moved and need to stay in the 200-350 range so 120v.

And...go.

Just get one that uses oil....the oil less ones are loud and do not last long. Check at TSC.

What they said. If you want quiet, get oil filled. If you want cheap, go oil-less. (But you already know about going oil-less) [emoji16]

That Jobsmart at TSC is just an 8 gallon tank.

Is it "fairly" quite?

Here you go Chris...... Porter-Cable Portable Belt Drive Air Compressor, 30 gal. at Tractor Supply Co.

Hope you find a good one.
I bought an Air Dragon at the auction for $10, they offer a 30 day return. Just something to keep in the car for when needed. Good thing, I noticed Debbie's front tires a little low. I check with a gauge, 17 pounds. I check the door sticker, 32 pounds. The Dragon has settings so I set it at 32 lbs. It ran and stopped, checked still at 17. Cranked it up to 40 and it stopped with 19 psi. Cranked it up to 60 and it shut off still with a low tire. Think I left finger prints in the plastic because it was so hot.
Watch auction returns, $10 plus 10% and tax

Not bad for the price if you don't have a lot of air tools to run. Should run anything you were running on the oil less.

This would be a perfect compressor for your set up. Will run impacts just fine. Only tools that really draw one down are a air ratchet and a air sander. They both require a lot of volume to operate properly. But with that size tank they are usable.and that 2 stage compressor should recover pretty quick. Take the specs off this one and do a little searching and you might find one a little cheaper.

Dangit. Got to checking and the stewpit Kobalt is fine. Must have tripes a heat sensor. Stewpit thing was recovering from from using a nozzle to blow off my lawn mower. Walked away from it and tried it last night and cranked right up. I'm ticked. Stewpit thing takes 15 minutes to fill at 211 decibels. I'll bet I could cut the tank in half and tell is I got her a new mater bucket and I even went to the trouble to put wheels on one of em so she could moveve it. She would never be the wiser.
