Interstate Pneumatics G2111-160 2 Inch160 PSI - 1/8 Inch NPT Rear Mount Pressure Gauge

Interstate Pneumatics G2111-160 2 Inch160 PSI - 1/8 Inch NPT Rear Mount Pressure Gauge
  • Dial Diameter: 2"
  • Delivery PSI: 0-160
  • Inlet Thread: 1/8" NPT
  • Mounting Type: Bottom Mount

I have a 20+ year old Topeak Joe Blow bike pump. It's the "public-use" pump I bring to the many bike clinics I do as a volunteer over the years. Thousands of bikes, car tires, kids balls and sports equipment 2 decades and constant abuse and the pump had never failed ... until the gauge started to leak about a year ago. In the last couple of months, the rubberized cover popped up suddenly at 100 psi a couple of times and once nearly smacked me in the cheek. So I took apart the gauge assembly and found the zinc cast threaded 1/8th NPT nipple had cracked. That was the source of the leak. There was insufficient thread left to keep the gauge screwed in. So I ordered this inexpensive Interstate Pneumatics gauge and it had better housing attachment and better machined metal on the base and was more than accurate enough for my bike tires. Even the old rubber housing around the old bike pump gauge fit just right around this new gauge. Now my old friendly pump is back in service.

Grip-Rite GR2540LR 2HP 4 Gallon 1725 RPM Compressor With Wheel Kit

Grip-Rite GR2540LR 2HP 4 Gallon 1725 RPM Compressor With Wheel Kit
  • Locking pull-out handle provides leverage for maximum mobility
  • 10 inch (25.4 cm) pneumatic wheels and tires for tough terrain
  • Recessed gauges, roll cage design
  • Electric, direct drive, oil splash pump
  • 1725 RPM motor

First thing I discovered is that this compressor does NOT go to 150 pounds pressure. Took compressor back and got another. Same thing. It goes up up 125 and shuts off. Running air guns at 120 results in it turning on often. I contacted distributor and they tell me 150 is just a general number. Sounds like backpedaling to me but who knows. Wheels are cool but I feel I paid $350.00 for a $150.00 compressor. Buyer BEWARE!

Unit arrived in perfect condition and setup was quick and easy. I am very impressed with how quiet this compressor is which was why I selected this unit. It runs at half the rpm of most brands. The fit and finish of this unit is second to none. It has a very simple yet practical cage design that protects it from virtually anything it would see on a job site.

SPT WA-1140DE Dual-Hose 11,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control

SPT WA-1140DE Dual-Hose 11,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote ControlIts two years since I purchased this and happened upon this link today. I remember doing a great amount of research when I bought this unit. It is NOT like the one being reviewed with 2 stars.

One key point it has two hoses input and output (not one like many units out there). It's very good at evaporating the water it takes out of the room (the two hoses are supposedly responsible for this efficiency). I have yet to empty the tank. The unit comes with a window package that holds the tubes in place (its made of heavy duty plastic).

As to moving it around, no big problems it is a beast to move on the stairs, but ..... its an air conditioner, not a fan.

I normally use it to cool down a 20x20 room (9 foot ceilings). It does take longer than I'd like, but if it's a humid night, it gets the room in a "sleepable" condition in about 1 hour.

The reason for not giving it 5 stars is that the remote control gives you options that you can't get from the panel. If you lose the remote, you lose the functionality (there may be a secret set of buttons you push to get the function, I haven't figure them out yet). The manufacturer's site is lacking in docs.

I bought this AC after reading the 2 star review and I am very glad I did. I live in the college dorms and this AC does an excellent job cooling my room and I have not experienced any of the concerns posted by the other reviewer. I've got a few other friends with Portable A/C units and none work as well as this one.

The wheels roll fine on the dorm room carpet, I've had this A/C for over a month and have yet to empty the water tank, and this A/C gets my room as cold as I could ever want it, and could get it even colder if I so desired.

I got this unit on sale for ~$230 and this has been a great investment.

My unit had great cooling abilities. It was able to easily cool my living and dining rooms, but it leaked water all over the floor. Initially, the leakage started about hour into operating and it really leaked after I turned it off. It seemed to release all water the tank may have held. It just drained onto my floor.

This unit is supposed to have a built in reservoir tank for holding water. The compressor is supposed to shut down when tank is full and a indicator light is supposed to come on to alert that tank needs drainage. I never had a problem with water leaking from the drain plug. The leakage had nothing to do with the water removal hose. It was leaking underneath.

It may have been damaged in transport or it may just be a faulty unit. I really don't know. The reservoir tank is built into the unit and cannot be seen. I had no desire to pull out a screw driver and take it apart. It is possible it was cracked, but it's also possible it's poorly made. Either way, a real disappointment. It was very effective in cooling. I wasn't inclined to try a replacement, instead I purchased a window unit. One other thing, the dual hoses are expandable, but if you expand in an effort to move unit away from window, the intake and exhaust hoses pop out. The don't lock into place well.

Price is good, Delivery was good, After 2 weeks of use--the unit is running very good so-far.

The best part about the unit is---it's the only model/company that has an AC that will turn itself back on after a power-outage!!

Here in Los Angeles, we have many power outages every summer.

I looked high and low and the SPT is the only unit offering this feature.

Plus***the sales dept./salesman, Mr. Wyn at SPT is VERY helpful, extremely knowledgable and customer satisfaction oriented.

I give their customer service/sales an A++, and their AC unit an A+.

Enjoy

When I recived the unit it was covered in oil like substance. I could tell the box had been opened and re-shut. To me it seems like they where trying to sell an item that had been already returned. I am returning it for the same one. If this one doesn't work I am going to get a refund for sure. They also need to package the product better. It was a joke how they had this 100lb ac packed.

Campbell Hausfeld WL6111 26 Gallon ASME Vertical Air Compressor

Campbell Hausfeld WL6111 26 Gallon ASME Vertical Air Compressor
  • Built in tool and accessory storage helps organize the garage
  • Vertical orientation saves 50% more space
  • Easy to operate controls with descriptive icons and oversized gauges for quick reference
  • Large air resevoir for extra storage during heavy duty tasks around the home
  • Maintenance free oil less pump with a durable shroud covering hot moving parts

***Product Description

5HP, 26 Gallon Vertical Compressor, Direct Drive Oilless Pump, Attached Wheels, Delivers 6.9

CFM @ 40 PSI & 5.5 CFM @ 90 PSI, Made In USA, UL Listed, Carries Standard Duty One

Year Warranty. ***

The above product description is misleading at best. Google "CFM" and "SCFM" and you'll find CFM is a static number where SCFM can be measure at pressure (typically @ 40 & 90 psi). I took the chance that the copy meant SCFM given the numbers provided were at pressure and rated at the standard 40 & 90psi. Not the case and I'm a little frustrated by the copyright's or seller's lack of knowledge. Upon product arrival the 5hp motor is really a 2hp motor (5 peak) and the SCFM is about half of the incorrectly used "cfm" above (~ 4.8 @ 40 & 2.? @ 90). A disappointing transaction in that I had to return the product and look for something that truely produced in the range of 6.9 SCFM@ 40psi.

The plastic housing/tool storage area actually looked to be very useful when viewing in person. If you want to run a brad nailer or pump up a few tires or basketballs once in a while, the product would work great. If you want to run any cutters, die grinders, or anything that would require even moderate air flow I'd move on.

I see the price is now almost three time what I paid for it and I would suggest that is too much for this unit. I bought my unit about 11 years ago for light remodeling work at the time. Since then I've used it for everything from blowing out the irrigation system, RV water system, some light automotive paint spraying, and running impact wrenches, air chisel, blowing off parts, just general "around the house" light stuff. If you need lots of cfm or high pressure for extended periods then you need to keep looking. If you only want to do light shop stuff it's just barely OK. It will run out of air quickly and while you are using it it will run almost constantly. In my opinion it is quite loud. That being said the noise level heard inside the house or outside when the unit is running in the closed garage is not objectionable. I mainly keep it because it is easy to wheel around the yard/shop and it doesn't take up to much space. The plastic toggle on the electric switch broke shortly after I got it (use caution) and I have made due with a screwdriver to turn it on and off. The regulator is good, however the gauges are not high end so if you need exact pressure as with air brushing or tool pressure rating I would add a quality gauge with the inline dryer you will need. If you can find one for a couple of hundred dollars and it will fit you needs, it will last and do a fair job.

Hi all. I ordered this compressor back on Sept 18 2009. The first unit arrived on Sept 22. It was left in the driveway just after 3pm. I arrived after 5pm to check the item. Box had a hole in the side. Once opened I noticed the Manual and Hardware was missing. And that the unit was Dropped. The plastic case around the Pump/Motor Assembly was cracked. Called Amazon and reported. They sent me a replacement on Sept 23. Was "Out for Delivery" on Sept 25 at 7:57 am. Today on Sept 26 it still hasnt been delivered. Called UPS. Got a politicians answer. How the Driver cant go home untill all packages are delivered. As of 10/6/09 Compressor #2 is still AWOL in the UPS tracking system.

Mike K at Amazon helped me get another. #3. Which did arrive damaged. However, Campbell Hausfeld is sending me the parts to repair the unit. This one I was able to power up and run. The unit is Quieter than I was expecting. Most companies I have dealt with in the past would have had me Return the unit. Or send to their repair facility. I have had previous experience with Campbell compressors and have had good luck.

Porter-Cable C7550 80-Gallon 30-Amp 6-Horsepower Oiled Vertical Compressor

Porter-Cable C7550 80-Gallon 30-Amp 6-Horsepower Oiled Vertical Compressor
  • High-powered air compressor with 175 PSI air pressure for consistent air flow240 Volt capacitor start induction motor with manual thermal overload protection for easy restarts
  • Large 80 gallon tank keeps plenty of air on tap
  • Air delivery at 40 PSI: 13.3 at 100 PSI SCFM; Air delivery at 90 PSI: 12.9 at 175 PSI SCFM
  • Weighs 401 pounds
  • Comes equipped with oil in the pump

These are my initial thoughts when purchased 8-15-2007

-(review edited 2-23-2-13 below, to update and increase rating from 1 to 3 stars)

You can imagine my excitement to purchase this brand--

I was soon dissappointed.

From day one this compressor had a knocking rod noise-getting worse with pressure increase-

I also noticed quite a bit of oil in my serparator

I reported trouble -and it took 1 month to get a replacement pump.In the meantime, they had my pump on the bench at the shop.

The new pump had the same knocking noise-

I was told by the service man who disassembled my original unit, there was a large space between the rods, on the crankshaft end-they had been sliding back and forth and the pistons were slapping-

after 10 hours of use-there was 1/4" of metal shavings in the oil.

This is actually made by devillbiss--you will not even talk with a Porter Cable rep.

I was also told to repackage the old unit--

Short story-

in the 2 months I have owned mine-I have had 1 month of use--

Beware-I am sure there is a defect in this model----although the factory rep says it look like mine had a problem--several more have to be reported before they will look into it--

Service returned a 3rd time to replace the pump.

************* 2-23-2013 edit **************************

After the final repair service call I was informed sandblasting use voided the unit's warranty. They would send a rep to fix unit and then I would be on my own.

I informed them of 2 things.

1-the repair man had already been here and replaced the pump a 3rd time. Unit was running, rod knock sound but running. The sound was worrying me.

And second, that the instruction manual had instructions for proper use while sandblasting. They had nothing to say except my unit was no longer covered under the warranty.

Then , out of the blue, about 2 weeks later a truck dropped off a brand new pump unit and replacement kit, in the box. New air filter housing, pulley, and pump, with 2 quarts oil. :)

I chuckled, stuck the box in my garage for later use expecting this pump to expire at any time. I still have it.

I have had no contact with Porter Cable--Devilbis for over 5 years now.

Here is the good part. While using it to blow off some dust a friend and I noticed the copper coils to the rear were "bent" a tad. this caused them to vibrate on the cast pump housing. Like a rod knock. I stuck a big screwdriver in, made an air gap and whoa! Now this sounds like a compressor.

I have never owned such a large compressor let alone service one, you'd think after 3 visits by an on site rep they would have discovered this. Oh well.

Since this unit has bee running flawlessly for this period of time, and, I have a replacement pump, I must edit my review to a 3 star level. Had the customer service been acceptable I would have given this unit a 5 star rating. Between not catching a simple problem, and Devilbis making me feel bad for purchasing this, I must drop it. I truly hope someone at the corporate level sees this.

Purchased only 3 weeks ago,works great. WEG 23amp motor and UnoAir full cast iron pump runs at 1200rpm and is a little loud but acceptable. The clear plastic oil sight glass on mine needed tightening but was easily readable. This compressor uses a single belt drive, no mag starter or finned after/inter coolers like more expensive models. There is only one air outlet at the top of the tank.

All this considered and with sale prices around $850 shipped this is a solid value for you gear-heads or the small/medium shop or garage. It appears to be well built to last a many, many years.

Update on compressor as of 9 18 08.

I have had this over 7 months. I did a lot of shop work and even restored and painted a car. Compressor is still working great with only 1 problem being the drive pulley came loose but was caught by the guard. It seems everything you buy these days needs an inspection before and again after some run time. I reassembled with a little lock-tite on the key way set screw and it's been fine. Still think it's a bargin.

4/04/08 I have been using c7550 compressor for a week now. I have had no problems yet. I bought it to use with my wood sander and nailers,it has no problem keeping up,and when it was delivered it had a big scratch in the tank,but it was not deep enough to hurt anything so I kept it. If I start having problems I will let you know. 4/27/08 still no problems. 8/8/08 still no problems. Today is 01/25/09 compressor still works like new. 4/04/09 The compressor is a year old today and still no problems. 8/01/09 been using the compressor hard for the last 3 months and no problems. The day i recieved the compressor i took the plug out from under the tank and put in a ball valve and extended it out from under the tank so it is easy to drain the water, i drain it every morning. 03/20/10 the compressor is almost 2yrs old now and still not a minutes trouble yet. 11/14/10 still runs and works like it did the day i got it. It is used every day. may 28,2011 still no problems,but have just about wore out one of my sanders. today is 09/06/11 an the compressor still works like it did the day i got it. 5/23/2012 the compressor still works like it did the day i got it. it still handles my nail guns an air sanders with out any problems. i think i am going to wear out before the compressor does. March 18,2013 used the compressor non stop for 4 hours sanding hardwood oak desk tops i built, an still no problems. i keep the compressor in another room so it is not in all the saw dust, an i ran pvc pipe into the shop.

Despite reading a few negative reviews about this product and immediate problems buyers had at arrival (arriving w/ broken/missing parts; repetitive piston/cylinder knocking even after warrantied service repair of problem) I decided to purchase it. I ordered from Amazon and only two days later I received a call from trucking company that they already had it at local terminal ready to deliver (unbelievable considering i selected free shipping).

The unit was packed extremely well and when opened was flawless. Got it it wired up, lines connected and fired it up. Has been running flawlessly for a few weeks now and couldn't be happier with its performance and output. If it continues to perform like it has so far....based on the research I did prior to buying I couldn't find anything remotely close in overall value for what I paid ($793 w/free shipping).

I just purchased this compressor from a local store for my small business. Here are initial impression in the first hour:

1) Manual says you need to purchase oil. Compressor comes full of oil.

2) Pallet is too short for normal forks at only 1.5". You have to handle the compressor with the very tips of your forklift. I wonder how many get dropped this way?

3) Pressure switch wiring compartment is way too small. For a 23 amp motor we would expect a 30 amp circuit. So 10 gauge wire. The knockout in the pressure switch is 1/2". Even with a knockout punch, there isn't enough room to enlarge this to a 3/4" opening. So rule out being able to properly use 10/3 portable cord. Even once you do find a cord / feed through combination that works, there is little room for wiring. You will need a 10 gauge #10 ring terminal and two 10 gauge #10 fork terminals. The pressure switch terminals don't allow bare wire in; it must be in a fork terminal.

4) Inside the pressure switch one of the hot wires to the motor is white. It should be red. White should only be used for a neutral. I could see this being confusing to some.

5) Air intake muffler is loose and flops around.

Overall I have high hopes for this thing. It seems like a solid product.

Wolo Model 400 Airmite 2 Horn air horn kit - 12 Volt

Wolo Model  400 Airmite 2 Horn air horn kit - 12 Volt
  • Two (2) durable red plastic trumpets
  • Air powered and very loud
  • New compact chrome plated compressor which is maintenance free
  • Longest Trumpet is 8-1/2 inches
  • Kit includes relay, hose and mounting hardware

Well you get what you pay for and paying only bucks for an air horn was not a lot. This horn is not what I expected. Lately it appears there a lot of drivers on the road that must have gotten their licenses on line somewhere or via mail order. People are driving 20 mph "below" the posted speed limits. I want a horn that when I hit the switch the reason I hit the switch gets out of my way ... with no hesitation! This thing sounds weak. My wife said it sounds like a sissy horn? I'm putting together the details of an air train horn hook up. I'm looking at spending 200+ so it better be 10 times louder. I did have a small problem with the way I was hooking it up and telephoned Wolo. After only a couple of minutes I actually "spoke" to a gut that really helped me.

LOUD! I am tired of morons that know they cannot mulitask, but still insist on talking or texting on their cell phone while driving, especially in TRAFFIC!!! MORONS!! Anyway, when you are your cell phone and you about shit your pants because you hear this, than you need to stop what you are doing and pay attention at your primary objective; driving a car! This is perfect loud, not to extreme and not too quiet like oem horns. This gets peoples attention and thats all i need it for. I don't abuse it, but i sure use it a lot. I have been through a few vehicles, only because of moron drivers not paying attention to what they are driving, like an automobile and crahsing into my car causing it to either be no driveable or insurance, my own insurance comapny screwing me over on the value of the vehicle. Now, with that said, these horns straighten drivers out to pay attention. Install it just right and it will work. Keep in mind 20 amp fuse. You can use the same horn configuration, just need to change the fuse from a 10a to a 20a and it will work.
