Ingersoll-Rand SS3F2-GM Garage Mate 15 Amp 2 Horsepower 30 Gallon Oiled Wheeled Single Hot Dog Compr

Ingersoll-Rand SS3F2-GM Garage Mate 15 Amp 2 Horsepower 30 Gallon Oiled Wheeled Single Hot Dog Compressor
  • 100% continuous duty for tough applications
  • Durable cast iron construction
  • 30 gallon horizontal tank
  • 5.7 acfm at 90 psi
  • Equiped with wheels for easy transport

I had an old Rand 4000 air compressor that was recalled (1986 model). As part of their recall program they let me choose from a number of different air compressors at a discounted price. I chose the SS3F2, 2hp 30 gallon Garage Mate since it is almost identical to my old Rand 4000. So far I'm very happy with this compressor. The first thing I was shocked about is how quiet it is. You can still listen to the radio while this thing is running! Also, with the 30 gallon tank, it has to run less anyway. Make sure you also buy the start up kit because when I got my compressor it did not have oil in it yet (or even include any). I found the start up kit for $24.95 online and it comes with 2x 0.5L bottles of oil and 2 air filters. The pump only holds 0.5L of oil so you have a full bottle left over for a future change. The start up kit also extends your factory warranty by 2 years. I highly recommend this air compressor and Ingersoll Rand products!

I was looking for a long term replacement for the "buzz bomb" compressors like on Sear models. This compressor is it. Runs quiet, large tank keeps pressure steady. Only slight problem was alignment of the handle attach bolt holes to the tank brackets was not good. Love it.

I'm very disappointed with the shoddy quality of the air compressor and the modes of shipping. First air compressor had to be left at the bottom of my driveway because the driver couldn't back up the hill; when I got the compressor up the hill into my garage, I followed the instructions (lubrication, etc.) and started it up-the air filter apparatus came apart and further investigation revealed that the air filter apparatus was crushed. I notified amazon and they were prompt in sending a different shipper to pick up the old compressor and replace it with a new compressor-again the driver was unable to back up the hill due to a faulty transmission in the truck. Again, I followed the instructions and started it up-as the compressor built up air pressure, the air regulator apparatus blew apart with pieces going everywhere; again, the compressor is useless. I contacted amazon for a return and full refund this time last week, I contacted the main number of the shipper and obtained a confirmation number for the return, and, per their instructions, I contacted the local affiliate and was told that my confirmation number wasn't recognized and that they need the internal number to authorize the pick-up. I re-contacted the main shipper and relayed my experience at which time I was told that I would get a call within the hour for a scheduled pick-up (06/26/12). As of this writing, I haven't heard from anyone (07/02/12). I've known the Inglesoll-Rand brand for decades as being the industry standard...not this time...2 strikes and I'm still in the hole for $$$ and have a piece of junk taking up space in my garage.

Update: I ordered and purchased the Regulator Apparatus here in town and fixed the compressor myself; after an email exchange with Amazon, they credited me about 20% for my trouble. I now have a good air compressor and my parts and aggravation costs were covered. It's good to know that Amazon makes every attempt to look out for their customers...I will continue to use Amazon and cast this latest negative experience as a fluke.

Air Foxx Kufo Seco UFO-40H Wall Mount Dust Collector 1HP 653 CFM Bag Dust Collector

Air Foxx  Kufo Seco UFO-40H Wall Mount Dust Collector 1HP 653 CFM Bag Dust Collector
  • Quick-install collection bag makes emptying and re-attaching a snap
  • Quick and Easy assembly.
  • Fully Portable
  • Fan Cooler motor designed for long, continuous use
  • Wall mounting or ground position to fit your job needs

I bought this to use with a table saw. Mounted on the wall by the saw. Easy to assemble and does a nice job of collecting sawdust. I especially like the ease of emptying the catch bag.

I would have appreciated some better instructions, instead of having to guess where and how the parts fitted.

This "Dust Collector" is little more than a wall mounted shop vac. It will barely move light saw dust through a 20' hose, let alone shavings from a plainer or other high volume cutting machine. I had to buy a whole bunch of fittings and hook up my Rigid shop vac to run in tandem to the the Fox. It now works moderately effectively, but I still have the problem I bought the dust collector to begin with, mainly dealing with the shop vac and the floor space it takes up in my 1200 sq ft shop. I would not recomend throwing good money after bad on this machine. It just doesn't work.

RapidAir Compresed Air Piping System Push-to-Connect Tee Fitting

RapidAir Compresed Air Piping System Push-to-Connect Tee Fitting
  • Three ports to connect nylon tubing
  • Simply push tubing into fitting until seated
  • Tubing can be removed by pushing release ring
  • Molded mounting hole for clean installation appearance

When I installed the RapidAir system in my shop, I did not believe that it could possibly seal. It was simply too easy to install. So, before I installed the drywall, I pressure tested it. To my suprise, not one leak! I even disconnected some of the outlets and reconnected, without cutting the tubing as they recommend, and still no leaks! Unbelieveable product and simple to use. It makes working with PVC seem difficult!

I'm sold!

Compressor Saver Hard Start Capacitor Model CSR U3

Compressor Saver Hard Start Capacitor Model CSR U3Easy to install. You can save approximately $200.00 by doing it yourself. Expect a few more years out of the current compressor. Installed on a Goodman 5ton unit.

Needed my 5 ton ac to work off my generator, 5-2-1 Hard Start CSRU3 allowed this to happen, easy to install and works great.

Preassembled unit, easy to follow instructions, if you are technically oriented. I would not recommend this for the non-handyman due to the 220 voltages involved.

Price of this part was less than 1/4 of what the Carrier dealer quoted me for a hard-start kit.

If you don't have a hard start kit on your condenser, this should prolong the compressor life at small cost.

I added this to a Goodman 4 ton unit that was having a hard time starting. I was drawing around 123 amps before adding this unit. After the install it now draws under 60 amps on startup. I saved around $250 by buying this and installing it myself vs. having the HVAC do it. Very happy with the product.

Want Compressor Saver Hard Start Capacitor Model CSR U3 Discount?

I have a old Rudd 10 Seer 4 ton , AC that has a listed LRA of 131 amps. Average start amps on the amp meter was around 120. After I installed the Compressor saver (u3 Model) the crank amps were consistently measured around 40 amps. I was amazed. I installed it so I could start the AC with my portable (12,000 watt -50amp generator). Before install the generator would not come close to starting the AC, after install the AC started easily and ran at about 18 amps. Also easy to install. Great Product would recommend to all.

DEWALT D55153 15 Amp 1-Horsepower 4 Gallon Oiled Twin Hot Dog Compressor

DEWALT D55153 15 Amp 1-Horsepower 4 Gallon Oiled Twin Hot Dog Compressor
  • 4.0 CFM delivered at 90 PSI to provide rapid recovery
  • Oil-lubricated pump improves durability
  • Cast-iron cylinder enhances pump life
  • High-flow regulator for increased performance
  • Four-gallon twin-stack tank design with proven acceptance in the market

This bad boy will do the work of a much larger compressor. It will easily run several guns on a framing crew or even a roofing crew. The HP rating is a little misleading compared to other compressors. 2 HP isn't max , it's continuous. I have one of these (Emglo 2HP) that's been abused and used hard for several years now with no problems ,only good dependable air. I highly recommend it. If I could change one thing I would make it quieter.

I use this with my Paslode; 16 Gauge and Framing nailers, I hang then trim doors, sometimes rebuild sills and headers. I also do various trim/frame carpentry on other projects.

If you are worried about changing the oil its only once a year!

If you are worried about operating on a slope, i have always found a flat spot to locate it in, even roofers leave theirs on the ground, just put on more hose. Who wants to carry this up a ladder anyway?!

I would never buy an air compressor without a user serviceable airfilter!

I would never buy one of those oil less types

More air and very quiet compared to the porta cable I previously owned, although some what heavier. The porta cable was a toy compared to this Dewalt. I've read reviews where people complained that their product was damaged in shipment, but mine was perfect and I got it in 2 days even though I went super saver shipping. I am well pleased with the product and the service.
