Title: No more canned air for me
Post by: zx2slow 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.

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

Post by: Agent4054 on August 01, 2007, 06:59:27 PM: 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.

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.

Title: Re: No more canned air for me
Post by: Petch on June 10, 2008, 09:44:45 AM: So I take it that the smaller guys (30-40 PSI) just don't have enough power to do a good job?
Title: Re: No more canned air for me
Post by: cuzzNkev on June 10, 2008, 10:23:36 AM: 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.
Title: Re: No more canned air for me
Post by: _!Rathe!_ on June 10, 2008, 10:39:59 AM: 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.
Title: Re: No more canned air for me
Post by: Petch on June 10, 2008, 12:19:08 PM: I wasn't worried about overall cost (within reason), I was just looking for a smaller compressor. My apt already has enough stuff laying around, I wanted something I could store away more easily. I started looking at the airbrush compressors just based on the size.
Title: Re: No more canned air for me
Post by: zx2slow on June 10, 2008, 08:26:14 PM: Mine goes to 100 psi, I got it at target for $60. Best deal evah!
