I got way more than I expected, this should be sufficient power and tools for 95% of air users
Wow, well worth the price. A CH compressor with all the tools. Can't be beat. Very sturdy and heavy.
Especially, Jayme, ask for her if you have any problems. I guess the third time is the charm.
The deal of the century for 249.00, even cpo campbell hausfelds web site couldn't sell it for less than 389.00.One caveat though, check the condition of the compressor (specifically motor mount) immediately upon recieving. The Previous shipper amazon was using, it appeared, dropped them from a loading gate and then ran over them.
Excellent kit, with all the basics you need to get started. Finaaly got my item in one piece.
I had to return two. Then they switched to FEDEX, thank god.
Amazons return policy, and customer service is first rate. That lady should get a raise.
My Rover is a snow beast, but, in moderate snow conditions here in the mountains (4-6 feet of snow) I sometimes have to deflate the tires to get the best traction with chains. It is the ultimate psi delivered to the tool which determines if it will work. I have been steadily using it for all kinds of tasks.Although this is "billed" as a "garage kit" it will function for many, many other tasks as well.(With respect to the two star reviewer): The total volume of air is not relevant to the effective pneumatic pressure required to run the attachments. You can tell if your extension cord isn't hefty enough because you will hear the motor hum and strain before it starts up (sometimes, if the cord is long and light enough, it won't start at all, but, just burn out very quickly humming and straining to activate the pneumatic piston).This is one of the best values I've found on Amazon. I have a chuck on the end of that as well so I can swap it out with the main unit whenever I need an extension. If you use a flimsy extension cord, over about 15 feet, you won't have the amps necessary to fully power the motor for compression - you will burn out the motor very quickly this way.
There is plenty of pressure, and, residual tank air supply, to run the attachments. Most of the attachments work in the 40 to 70 psi range. A larger tank would mean a little less stress on the electric motor (as it would have to start less often), but, would not increase the psi available for the tool operation.For instance, the sprayer (which only requires about 50 psi) will spray 1/2 solution of tung oil on wood (for preserving out of doors wood) with no problem. It will spray almost an entire quart without engaging the pump to re-charge the tank; the ratchet is really handy for all kinds of adjustments on all kinds of machines and projects (trailers, log splitters, assembling wood structures with bolts and nuts, etc). I purchased this set about eight months ago. Then, all you have to do is pull back the quick release chuck on the hose to release one tool, and, slip the next tool into the chuck. It takes less than a second to change out most of the attachments if you use the quick release chuck.I bought the reel and extra hose.
It is easier to transport the reel and hose to a job site than it is to wind up a spare 50' hose I keep in the garage for fixed garage applications.On my Range Rover, I spend upwards of $1400 for a set of tires, and, keeping them properly inflated saves me hundreds of dollars of wear and tear on the tires between alignments and oil changes. The tire inflator attachment, with a precision gauge, is really well made and allows you to come within a fraction of a pound of the correct tire inflation pressure. If you are good enough (not for beginners) you can vary the psi, using the valve on the tank, and use the ratchet as a torque wrench (takes some practice).Install the universal quick release chuck on the end of your hose as soon as you get the unit. I can usually get the tank pressure up to at least 110 psi. This set up makes it a snap to reinflate once I get my Rover back in the garage.DO buy a very heavy extension cord if you are going to use an extension more than 12 - 15 feet.
and only requires 50 - 65 psi. Then, attach quick release connectors to each of the tools using the thread tape. I have a 10 gauge extension cord for a 100' extension from outlets to where I use it around the place. It is not only sufficiently powerful for home or garage, it is sufficiently versatile for all powered applications.
They use the same motor/compressor assembly on several diferent models with identical performance specifications. The official Campbell Hausfeld Site has a typo in the item description. If you go there and click on the "specification" tab you will see the correct output for this unit. It should do a fine job of running the included tools. The following is copied directly from the specification tab at the Campbell Hausfeld web site.Type Oil LubeStyle HorizontalGallon Capacity 8 GallonsMax PSI 125 PSISCFM @ 40 PSI 4.3 SCFMSCFM @ 90 PSI 3.7 SCFMRunning HP 1.3Voltage 120VWeight 112 lbs.I think it is a bit unfair to give a tool a poor rating because of a typo in a web site.
