Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

I'd look for who has the best price/warranty. I have a 45 gallon Craftsmen that's been reliable for 7 or 8 years but I don't really use it anymore except for tires. Sound is another thing to consider they have some that are so quiet it's unbelievable!

That's pretty damn big.

Just 10gallons smaller than a 55gallon drum lol. It was the biggest 110v compressor I could find at the time. Works fine, is noisy, and makes well over the advertised 165psi.

Now you know why they call him Dan The Man!

I need to replace my compressor for my business.(I'm mobile, so in my van)I'd like to stay with a 20 gal, 120 . I was thinking of going with a Husky. Anyone have any suggestions on a decent, reasonably priced compressor? I'll be running my spray gun and air tools off it. @Dantheman1540 , @wjburken , @Rocket Man ?

have you ever looked into the engine driven compressor systems? most just use a converted ac compressor

This is the first thing to pop up, but you can peice them together and just buy the bracket. They flow a ton of cfm

Hell yeah. Onboard air is the way to go! Although, I’m not sure how much cfm you’d be able to get out of it..?

I’ve been happy with my 30 gal / 165 Craftsman. Had for 6 years so far, no problems.

And yes, there are some crazy quiet ones out there. California Air Tools for example:

>The most desirable York compressor is the 210. It's longer stroke gives it more volume, resulting in more CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). The 210 is rated at 4 CFM @ 90 PSI, and is capable of 8+ CFM. The larger CFM allows it to run air tools

they are very comparable, im guessing tony runs the stand alone ones off a generator? would prob still need the gen for other tools but could eliminate a lot of load

Trying to do the evaporator hack.
