Finally made my way to a hardware store and purchased a portable aircompresor, seeing as I probably wont be getting mine back lol. Just thought I'd share some pictures Seeing all that hardware made me want more tools hahaha so I got my self a nail gun, actually the price was quite nice Got a few houses and I really needed the blow gun, looking forward on using these new toys tomorrow Left the new toys by the front door ready to go tomorrow Oh and here are some specs on the compresor: Horsepower: 2.0 HP Pump: Oil-lubricated Tank: 2.6 gallons " Hot Dog" SCFM @ 90 PSI: 3.3 SCFM @ 40 PSI: 3.8 Operating pressure: 0 - 130 PSI Cut-In Pressure: 100 PSI Cut-Out Pressure: 130 PSI Bore: 47 mm Stroke: 44 mm Motor RPM: 1720 Voltage (Single Phase): 120 Minimum Circuit Requirement: 15 AMPS AMP draw @ Max Pressure: 12.4 Noise level: 80 dB Dimentions: 18" x 10" x 22" Net weight: 52 lbs. I'll be using it for light duties, it will stay in my garage most of the time...not unless I get "special project" then the nice thing is that it's light enough to just pick up and go with it.
Man I need an air compressor, I don't like carrying the leaf blower around to get the water out of the cracks, it's just big . What's the nail gun for, gonna use em for your details? just kidding haha.
After using the aircompresor at the fire truck shop it's hard going back to the old ways lol. I used the leaf blower a few times and the air compresor is just a bit faster and better, well at least I think so. Oh the nail gun is to finish the garage hahaha. I could have used it much earlier but just didnt want to spend the money hahaha.
I bet the air compressor makes things faster, just lug the hose around haha. What else you got planned for ur garage?
hmmmm...I got a few ideas but I don't think I'll be able to have it the way I want it..well reason being that we might be moving soon. This time I'll have three garages it's going to require lots of lights and one of the garages will be my for detailing and the other will be to park my vehicles....I told my wife that it has to have a minimum of three garages. I would love to find a house that has five garages though, that would be sweet. She's still looking but she found a house that has three and it's a very nice house too. Nothing for sure just yet.
Wow I hope you find a lovely house . Indeed, I would love a 5 car garage. 2 garage spaces for detailing lol. I wish I can do everything in the garage and out of sunlight.
Man I honestly don't know how those guys can detail under the elements, specially the sun. All my details I do inside, just couldn't stand dong it outside. As for the house, who knows for now the wife is looking but in the mean time I'll continue to work away at my garage. If we stay at the same house by next summer I'll have a LCD TV in the garage plus other goodies
Wow your garage will be the best party place hahah. I'm glad I have a garage to work in, I just wish I can wash in the garage as well, but there's so much stuff in there.
very cool. so i guees i dont need to talk wo my little bro. lol Im lookin at getting a compresor, after you use it acouple times i would love to hear what you think about the one you got but very cool stuff
Calgarydetail - Yea, I needed to purchase something today lol. We were close to Home Depot and well I walked it and saw this one on sale and I had done a bit of reading on the Makita and what I read was good so I just purchased it. Oh yes your little brother lol...no need to ask now lol. I'll be putting it to good use tomorrow and from here on in. By the way thank you for going to ask your brother though
