    Recommend me an air compressor.

    I currently have a 20 (or so) gallon Husky 120v 130 psi air compressor. I mainly use it mostly to run a air hammer once a month to remove bullet points from rock augers to rebuild the augers. The old compressor works ok for airing up tires and small stuff like that, but it has has a few leaks and just doesn’t put out enough air for what I need. I’m probably looking for a 220v, at least 150psi, single or 2 stage (not really sure) in about a 50-60 gallon size compressor. Id rather stay under $1000 if possible. Why do y’all suggest? This will be a stationary unit mounted near or inside my barn, if that matters.
    Thanks,

    Not sure how much this will help, but here's my story. Found a damaged Ingersoll 60 gal unit at TSC and wheeled and dealed. Left with it for $400. Sent the warranty dept an email, and got all replacement parts in the mail a couple of days later. Have had no problems with it at all. I believe it's a $1K compressor, unless you can find a damaged one.

      I’ll check in the scratch and dent isles in all the local stores.
      (anyone want to go on a scratch and dent binge in my local TSC?). ��

        Used Speedaire might be doable for that budget. Worth every penny.

          That's how you do it!!!

          If you can't go that route, wait for the sales.


          I went with an 80 gallon Flexzilla, but they're a few $$$ over budget. Anyways, it has an Eaton air pump so I went to Eaton to see if I could find a maintenance manual. Eaton has their own line of compressors! They are identical to the Flexzillas for a grand less!

          If you don't go IR (which is a brand you SHOULD go with), then look into whoever makes the air compressor for the brand you're looking at. Also, get some pads for the feet.
