Iron Horse IHP5120H1-US 20-Gallon 125 PSI Max Electric Compressor

Iron Horse IHP5120H1-US 20-Gallon 125 PSI Max Electric Compressor
  • Cast Iron Pump for longer life
  • 5.6 CFM at 90 PSI
  • Wheels for easy moving and storage
  • Great for any shop or home
  • Outlet control regulator with quick connectors

These little compressors are great! Mine is two yrs old and never missed a beat. I saw these on the floor at my local hardware store and bought one. First one I bought was the oil-less version. I took it back a few days later because it vibrated the motor loose several times and the copper air line going to the tank kept leaking. Also the oil-less ones were made in china. I will not recomend that style.

However, these belt drive cast iron V cylinder type are great. Mine is on at all times and I hear it kick on once and a while. They are really air tight. I run air ratchets,impacts,grinders anything I want. It will run out of air with a grinder in a few minutes but it fills fast enough so its not a real issue. If you want one for a grinder get a 60 gallon at least. I needed it for impacts and its great!

This is built by EAGLE compressors. Mine was built in Canada. Thier site says Woods? Ive never needed service or parts so I dont know how that goes? I do know they sell parts for them and rebuild kits and most dont offer that. According to Air compessor analysis websight Eagle also makes armed forces equipment. That means they build real good stuff when they want too. {except airless compressors}. Truth is Ive never seen any brand oil-less type last over a yr anyway unless its just to air up tires. They are throw aways. This is not a throwaway.

from air compressor analysis:

The organization prides itself in producing excellent quality air compressors, air tools and other air powered accessories. Eagle, Maxair and Ironhouse are the brands under which products are manufactured and sold. Eagle Air Compressors are available for each and every job possible.

Eagle Air Compressors worth in the market can be gauged from the fact that they are trusted enough to manufacture high pressure breathing air systems for refilling SCUBA cylinders. They also provide products and services to divers, fire fighters and armed forces. No wonder that these air compressors are one of the best in business.

Thats good enough for me!
