No more canned air for me
« on: July 28, 2007, 04:42:09 PM »
  After seeing cuzzkev's compressor I had to get one,  $66 shipped from Harbor Freight* with hose and blow gun.  110psi that never runs out is awesome, I will save money in the long run by no longer getting those duster cans.

*You could go in the store to save $8 but I was there today and everything was a friggin' hassle so I left.

Yeah, if you're into pc repair, it'll save you loads of money.  I had one at my old job - a $50 portable one.  Used it to clean the dust out of everything.

I didn't know doing coke and driving drunk just 11 days after leaving rehab was a trend. Man, I feel so uncool now.

Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

True but having the compressor land on your buddy's foot is a entirely different sort of humor.

I'd rather use the air compressor for the same purpose of such shenanigans as freezing your buddies ear. Like messing up his hair. Good thing that won't work on me.

I hear by resurrect this thread!

Anyone have part numbers for what they bought at Freight Harbor?  They are having a crazy sale on Micro Fiber towels so I'm picking them up, and figured Id pickup an air compressor for all my PC needs.

So I take it that the smaller guys (30-40 PSI) just don't have enough power to do a good job?

Well, they might.  But I also picked up a brad nailer to things around the house and use it for inflating vehicle / bike tires.  Looking a framing nailer for next remodel project. Should make it easier.

The Canned air bottles produce anywhere from 40 to 70 PSI.  So if you get a compressor that only runs 30-40 it isn't going to blow as well.  Might as well pay a bit more for a better compressor.
