Air compressor idea
Permalink  
 


After having a little experience in the equipment rental business, I've learned a few things about air compressors. In my opinion Speedaire and Ingersoll Rand are top chioces. A brand you may have never heard of is likely even better. That is a Mi-T-M. The small two tank model of Speedaire (8 or so cfm) is too low volume to run a 3/8 allflo pump. I bought an Ingersoll Rand, but it showed up without the honda engine I ordered (11 or so cfm). So I sent it back and bought a Mi-T-M (13.1 cfm). I also want it to last since it's quite expensive. So I built a roof too keep rain and chems and sun off of it. Check out my photos.

My compressor has been in the back of my truck for three years with no problems.
