Air Compressor & Air Tools

[rdorman]

Thanks David. I bought a 3/8" hose for it and we will see how it does. So far, I really enjoy using it. Now if I could just get the darn house project done (moving the stair case to the third floor), then I could start using it more on its intended use, the garage

Setting it in another room is a good idea. I have an attached storage area that I could place it in. Pipe. I was planning on running black pipe for distribution with traps and upward facing air points at various places in the garage. Nothing fancy, 90's with caps for the water traps, quick disconnects at the compressor before the filter and oiler and at the drops. That sort of thing.

I think the 3/8 ratchet it came with was termed a 'mini' ratchet. I know it only produces about 40 ft/lbs of torque. Now the impact wrench, that is a different story! I think it is rated at 450 ft/lbs.

I wanted to post here to let others know about my experience with the topic. Seems to me that to often some one will ask a question about something, make the decision and the purchase. But then not come back and let the rest of us know how it worked out. I wish more people would take a moment and go back to the thread and let us know the results.
