im planning to get an air compressor to work on my car. But i dont know which one to get. theres so many of them. currently im looking at this from sears. http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr...70000

what do you guys think
if link doesnt work go to sears.com and search for Craftsman 33 gal. Vertical Portable Tank Compressor, 6 hp.

 

I use one of less size and hp, and it works reasonably well. Great for impact air ratchet... prolly wouldn't use it for something that requires a lot of air. But for me, as an enthusiast, this is great for basic repairs and upgrades. I spent $200 on my "Husky" setup from Home Depot. Call it ghetto or cheap, but as a high school student really wasn't looking for the Snap-On adventure.

 

get whatever you can afford, if your only doing work by yourself, your not going to have that big of a duty cycle. That would be fine though, price seems good, plus you get the tools

 

Wrong forum.

I work at Sears. The compressor itself is a good unit to work with. Has good SCFM rating. But, the impact wrench and air ratchet suck donkey *****. Don't think you're going to be breaking crank pulley bolts anytime soon.

 

That is a good compressor for working on a car. I plan on getting it after x-mas. Sears employee discount 0wnz.

 

i have a friend that works at sears. may just get her to buy it for me

you better believe it

 

Indeed.

She can't buy anything for friends. Only herself or immediate family members (IE. mom and dad).

I pretty much got in trouble for buying 5 refridgerators and 5 stoves/ranges. They're all for my dad's apartment complex. I had to proove it to them. Thank God I'm still there...

 

are the tools weak to do the crank pully or the compressor??


im thinking about picking it up tomrorow. for now i just need to remove some bolts to lower my car

 

around 2 hp is good enough its not like your gonna unscrew big 4 pound nutz or anythign are you?

 

crank pulley is probably the hardest to remove so i need something that has just enough power to remove it. what hp is good enough 3hp??

what Impact Wrench do you recommend to

good choice its as much as you can do without getting 220 volts n the garage. i use it and it does 90 percent of what i do. the rest a big breaker works.

 

the 33 gal is decent

I have this one at my house
60 gal, 175psi, i like it better than the smaller tank, it doesn't run out of air as quick

along with this impact gun
excellent gun, i'm very happy with it

it does 800 ft/lbs of torque
ive only had one instance where a crank bolt wouldn't come off
I couldn't belive it
