Re: air compressors
I have a 20 gallon Campbell Hausfeld that's over 25 years old and still works fine. I just stepped up to a 60 gallon Speedaire that I got a great deal on. Only did it because of the size difference.

Re: air compressors
That's a lot of compressor for the money IF it works and of course you have to make sure it doesn't run on 3 phase 220v....unless you have that!
I had a 20 gal. oil less compressor for years til it's noisy ass gave out. I bought a used Hatbor Freight 60 gallon for $265 off Craigslist to replace it and felt I did ok. I've got a small Senco compressor for filling tires and running a nail gun Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: air compressors
I have a 1972 Emglo 5hp two stage. Bought it for 150 bucks in 1995. It still runs like a champ.
