Air Compressor for Home Shop?
Can anyone recommend a brand/model of air compressor for my shop at home?
It needs to be 120V, portable on wheels, and make enough PSI to easily air tires to at least 105-110 PSI, obviously. Would like to keep price under 400.00. Noise is not an issue.
Also, Craftsman advertises a couple of models that claim to be "extension cord friendly", provided the proper length and gauge cord is used. Because of the arrangement of my house, garage, parking area, etc., being able to use a 25ft 10 gauge ext. cord would help alot. Is anyone doing this successfully?
Thanks.

A compressor that size, I'm guessing a 20 gal tank, Will not air tires easily. It will do it, but not fast.
It will be kinda like airing off the trucks own air supply.
i.e. the tires at 80 psi, you hook up the hose and go smoke a cigarette while it's airing. 8)

Air compressors
If you have the money, get the biggest/baddest air compressor you can afford and you won't regret it. Even if you have to upgrade your electric system to 220v it'll be worth it.
I worked for years (no money) with NO air compressor and it sucked big time. I used to change tires with the truck air and I would've saved myself weeks of time over the years by biting the bullet and got a decent compressor.
I got a Craftsman "dry" compressor and worked it to death twice. If nothing else tools are an investment you can take with you if you move.
Just get something big enough so that you aren't standing there saying, "wished I'd got something bigger".

I would not be without a compressor at home. My present one is just a tad small for semi tires, not quite enough PSI.

i certainly WOULD NOT use an extension cord for a lot of distance. it would be better to just buy a longer hose. the extension cord can heat up over time. my air compressor is a Sanborn, but i cannot tell you how old it is. i would check with Lowes, Home Depot. Sears is going out of business, so why bother with them?
you could also check with Harbor Freight as well. you might want at the very least a 50 to 100 gallon tank, at least 90 to 100 psi to run air tools.
you know, you might be able to fetch a gasoline run model as well!!
