- Quincy Compressor Reciprocating Air Compressor - 5 HP, 230 Volt Single Phase, Model# 2V41C60VC

I purchased this compressor locally after a whole lot of research. I previously purchased a 3 phase Ingersoll Rand at my automotive shop and needed something for the house. I needed a compressor that was quiet but still operated at the higher working pressures. Once you use a two stage compressor, you'll dread going back to a single stage. The higher pressures spoil you and make your air tools work that much more efficiently. The Quincy was the ticket. The Quincy is very quiet. I can talk to someone standing right next to it. I can't do that with the large Ingersoll that I have at work. Due to the Quincy running much cooler than my Ingersoll it hardly builds up any moisture. My Ingersoll has been going strong for over 8 years and is a great compressor but I feel that the Quincy is just built better. The Quincy boasts a 50,000 hour pump life rating. After hearing this thing run, I believe it. It has virtually zero vibration. The Quincy recovers and builds up pressure extremely fast. Most compressors overate their CFM. If anything the Quincy is under rated. If my Ingersoll ever fails at my shop, a Quincy compressor will definitely take its place.

Face it, America sucks at manufacturing compared to most industrial nations. That's been the case since the 1970's. There are still a few great companies out there that deserve your patronage, including Quincy. Ingersoll has a lot of their pneumatic stuff made in China, and I believe they do much of their compressor manufacturing in Mexico.

But these beautiful blue uprights are made right in Quincy, IL. Anyway, enough of that. Here's why the compressor is great:

-Very low vibration. I left mine on the pallet, and I will occasionally set steel parts and whatnot on it. Most compressors would vibrate these right off the deep end, but this guy stood the test!

-Relatively quiet. If you've never had pneumatic tools in a small garage or shop, well you may want to invest in a good set of plugs or ear protection. The tools will be slightly louder than the compressor running, but not by much. Let's just say you don't want this thing turning on at 2AM with a neighbor 2 walls and 50 feet away.

-Efficient for a mid-tier upright. I do fabrication and auto body work, this beast can keep up with a 14cfm DA sander running for hours on end without heating up the air too much. The mark of a laboring compressor is excessive water droplets forming on the tool end, because of the high temperature dropping between the tank and the hose line. I use a milton filter-regulator and do not have water in the line.

Now I've only had this unit for a few months, and if anything happens to it in the next few years I'll be back to revise my review, but I'm more inclined to say that I'll be giving this to my kid in 20 years.

Grip-Rite GR100 1HP 1 Gallon Portable Compressor

• Lightweight and Compact - Only 23lbs
• Recessed gauges
• Roll cage design protects vital components
• Electric, direct drive, oil-free pump
• Overload protection with manual reset

I actually bought the kit (GR100KIT2), but so far have used only the compressor, because I needed a slightly heavier gauge than the kit's nailer. I already had a Maxus 1 gal compressor (EX1001) and a Maxus 4 gal (EX8016) when I bought the Grip-Rite. The Grip-Rite has instantly become my favorite. It's really light, obviously. It's also really, really quiet; it's much quieter than the similar size Maxus I have. Instead of thinking of it as a noise heard all over the neighborhood, it's more like a substantial hum not unpleasant to be around, even right next to it. And, unlike the two Maxus compressors, the regulator is easy to adjust, and once you adjust it it stays adjusted (and doesn't drift all over the place like the others I have do).

On the project I used it for I got about 10 shots on a 15 ga nailer. I also needed to use a framing nailer for just a few nails, and it was easiest to just try out the GR100, so I did. The framing nailer got about 4 shots per refill. (Both of these were on the kit hose, which is a 25' 1/4".)

I'll also add that I'm just a guy that does repairs on his own house. I was brought up to use hand tools, and didn't get a compressor/nail gun until a couple years ago. I should have. The speed and quality of your work improves markedly, especially if you're working alone and are in situations where two hands devoted to nailing leaves you short one to hold the material. For what I've done the last few years, the GR100 would have been just fine, and I should have skipped the 4 gal compressor that is too big to be quiet or portable and too small to do any kind of spraying.

i fix town homes and it doesn't blow fuses.

it keeps up as long as you don't go crazy nailing ..

just remember it not a 2 1/2 hp 3gal. compressor .

it starts at 105psi and stops at 135psi so a 2 1/2 trim nailer works just fine .

i get about 10 to 13 shots before recovery.

it's light

50 sec. to fill

35 sec. to recover

I LOVE IT !!!!

I knew this wasn't a big air compressor when I bought it, but it was disappointing that it's inadequate even for blowing the dust out of my computer.

Portability is nice, design is nice.

I bought these pads to place under my large 5 HP, 80 Gal upright compressor. These sit between the compressor feet and a concrete floor. I drilled a 1/2 inch hole through the pads and lagged the compressor into the floor. So far, so good.

I bought to reduce the vibration of my scrollsaw. I have the scrollsaw on the second floor of an apartment building. So far no complaints from the floor below me.

Came just as advertised. The rubber is more of a hard rubber than soft and the cork is very dense and hard. I used Isolate It (sorbathane) to put on top of it.

Want 4 Pack of Anti Vibration Pads 6" x 6" x 7/8" Rubber/Cork Vibration isolation pads Discount?

I purchased these for use under the legs of a 80 gallon upright air compressor. You can't seem to fine them anywhere around and all the manufactures want you to use them? This set is the right size to fit under mine and I think most upright compressors. They quiet it down alot and help eliminate the vibration it makes (made). Try to find them cheaper, I couldn't!
