Speedway 6909 8-Gallon Air Compressor with 77 Piece Kit

Speedway 6909 8-Gallon Air Compressor with 77 Piece Kit
  • 15.5 A, 1.5HP, 3360 RPM, 8 gallon tank capacity
  • 5 CFM @ 90 PSI, 6 CFM @ 40 PSI
  • 115 PSI Maximum
  • High-efficiency, cold-start twin capacitor induction motor with thermal overload protection
  • Ultra-quiet 93-95 dB operation

The combination of the compressor with a starter set of most used tools is a good value. The SCFM rating is higher than the typical pancake units so that a small spray gun can be used.

The unit was not adequately boxed given its weight. This resulted in the tank pressure gauge being damaged. An email request for a warranty replacement took two tries but was then provided quickly.

A small amount of assembly wheels, feet, handle is required. Very visible warnings to be sure to add the oil before using. The breakin procedure is clearly described.

It is noisier than I expected. All fittings were tight pressure held.

The supplied tools, while not professional grade, seem adequate for occasional home shop use. The included air tools are a brad nailer, a die grinder with a variety of stones plus cut off wheels and a ratchet with a set of sockets. There were also an air nozzle, tire chuck and a typical assortment of fittings. The hand tools inch and metric nut drivers are junk.

All in all I found the package a worthwhile value and the warranty response was good.

I went through the recommended break-in procedure, then charged the compressor up fully. The compressor charged quickly, but within 1 hour lost all pressure with nothing connected. The driver sets sent with the compressor are very poor quality. Used the air ratchet once, below recommended pressure setting, and it also sprang a leak.

I returned the item for a full refund.

Dam good product. This is a great and handy little compressor. Not to loud... Shipped in a reasonable time... Many little handy stuff I haven't even used yet...

I only wish it had came with an impact gun then it would have been perfect.

Everything appears to be well made.
