Best bang for your buck: Compressor

[Ldecharmoy]

Hey guys, just got the need for a compressor and would like to know your opinion on which compressor is the best for a decent price.

Please and thank you!

The Harbor Freight 26 gallon will do everything you need it to do.

and not direct drive...

What is your actual price range, tool requirements?

I need to remove my k member and some other chassis parts and it would be easier with air tools. I'm looking at the most $650-750 to spend

[Ldecharmoy]

Will this do? It looks like a cheap piece of shit, but is it ok?

650-750 should get you something very decent for garage work and then some. I recommend going to Northern Tools or Sears and looking at theirs. G/L.

[greenbullitt]

home depot or lowes will meet your budget and get you a decent piece

That's the one I've been using for years (for wheels, a-arms, struts, etc) with no problems.

There are nicer ones, sure, but this one does what it's intended for.

EDIT: Looking at the specs, that IS NOT the one I've been using. Mine has a flow rate similar to the one Forbes linked to below and mine is not oilless. Sorry for the confusion.

is a much better one. it has a cast iron pump and if the ever goes you can always swap them out.

That is a nice one. Definitely hunt down a coupon or wait for the next parking lot sale.. you can end up getting one very cheap.

Also, their hoses are good but forgo their cheap quick connect fittings. They will drive you mad with the air leakage.

hell, for that price you can get a husky brand with cast pump that puts out over 10cfm@90

and still have money left over for a decent IR impact
