This replaces an older version of the pressure switch that Campbell Hausfeld made. I was nervous to order such an expensive fix site unseen, but this was a great experience! The package came with an instruction booklet and it was easy to follow to replace the whole part. No surprises! Thanks!

• Honda Gas Engine
• Durable cast iron construction
• 100% continuous duty cycle for tough applications
• 11.8 acfm at 90 psi
• 8 gallon twin tanks

I'm strongly considering buying this item, sadly not from amazon because their price is MUCH higher than places such as tsc. Anyway, one of the big reason for my decision to buy this unit is the company IR, IR is basically air compressors, but now I'm much more doubtful based on a customer review for tyhis item that's apparently listed as another product. Here is that gentleman's story in full -not a very good job IR!

Ingersoll Rand Gas Portable Air Compressor 5.5 HP, 11.8 CFM At 90 PSI, Model# SS3J5.5GHWB

The Northern Tool company is great in itself, transaction went through cleanly and quickly and the compressor was soon on its way to my home through freight shipping. Ordered a few other tools along with the compressor and those got to my house quickly and at an excellent price. But then when the nightmare began.

I received my air compressor sometime around mid june and broke the engine in as per manufacturer instructions. First day out on the job I ran it for about 10 minutes and it broke down! cost me 200 dollars in lost wages that day!

I called Ingersoll-Rand customer service. After waiting about 20 minutes to actually talk to someone they told me (in a quite rude manner) that I should take it to a specialized certified mechanic in town that fixes all of their products and that it wasnt a problem with the factory.

I took it to the mechanic they had referred me to only to find out they were not an Ingersoll-Rand service center! IR had revoked his certification because he wasnt meeting some kind of quota set by IR!

I called IR back to confirm the place and they told me not to go to the mechanic they had referred me to earlier, instead to go 150 miles south to a shop in Los Angeles! I, rather annoyed, reminded them that I was loosing money every day this machine was down and that I expected better service from them and better quality of product. Well they basicly told me I wasnt important and told me I had no choice but to take it down to Los Angeles or try to fix it myself.

Well I couldnt wait. I took the compressor apart and found out that some numbnut at the factory did not properly tighten the screws on the flywheels that connect the engine to the compressor pump. As a matter of fact it didnt even have the square key thats designed to hold the wheel in place! The wheel on the engine side had been stripped to the point where it was unusable.

Once again I called them to find out if the parts I could order to get this thing up and running again would be covered under warranty, and they told me since I took it apart it was no longer under warranty and that I was up the creek without a paddle.

50 dollars in parts later I had it up and running and I was making money again.

Since then the compressor has been excellent. It has not failed since I fixed it and it has a higher CFM per PSI than other compressors in its price range, and the Honda engine is one of the best and most reliable on the market right now. In all honesty I love this compressor but IRs customer service left a bad taste in my mouth.

Would I recommend this compressor? Yes, just make sure all the parts are tightened and in place becore you start it for the first time, especially the flywheels.

Am I happy with Ingersoll-Rand? Heck no. If push came to shove I will probably buy an Emglo or Dewalt compressor next time.

• Uses standard hook and loop sanding paper of your choice
• Ergonomic housing with thermal isolator for continual usage
• Santoprene Grip for superior comfort with a variety of applications
• Ideal for corners and tight areas that an inline sander can't reach

I really like this tool. It works very well for the purpose for which I bought itworking in tight places. I would further comment on a review I read BEFORE buying this tool. IT DOES REQUIRE A HIGH VOLUME OF AIR!! A "kiddie compressor" will not do! I have a 6 Hp/ 33 gallon compressor and it works OK for this tool. A larger system would be better. So, if you wish to use this tool with a small volume compressor, you may be dissapointed in the performance of this tool.

In the Canadian Woodworking magazine (Aug/Sep 08) it states this sander "is one of the few air sanders that can be operated on a portable air compressor" this is NOT true. This sander works less than one minute with a portable air compressor. I discovered later in the Woodcraft October Catalog that they note the sander requires a minimum of a 60 gallon capacity compressor or equiivalent to operate. I am sorry I bought this sander.

I'm a woodturner, and use this sander a lot for finishing bowls and other turned vessels. It's great for removing concentric scratches and tool marks that can happen when turning wood on a lathe. Mine has worked flawlessly in a busy shop for about four years so far. I keep it lubricated as described in the documentation and have had no problems with it at all. Yes, it requires a real compressor. The gallon and horsepower numbers mean nothing. If your compressor can't produce about 8 cfm of air at the required psi, expect it to run a lot. Previous reviews talking about "6 hp" compressors are going by the "peak" horsepower ratings, and not the actual running horsepower. If you're plugging your compressor into a 110v outlet, it's probably not gonna be able to keep up with this sander. (I know this because I used my Grex sander with a "6 hp" buzz bomb compressor for over a year before I got a compressor running a real 5 hp motor on a 40 amp 220v circuit.) If you've got a real compressor, this is a great tool.

I bought this to use with lathe spindle and bowl sanding. It works great! I have a 1.5 HP 20 gallon Emglo compressor and this tool works very well with this set up. I would definitley suggest not using a pancake compressor, but the 20 gal kept up. The ability to swap out sand paper quickly and easily with the hook and loop sandpaper is a nice feature. The sanding disc paper is not cheap, but does last a good while. The safety catch takes some getting use to the first few times, but then becomes second nature. The angled head allows you to get into tite spots very easily. I really like this tool and the price is very reasonable for the quality of the tool. Options are a 3 inch disc and an extension allowing you to get inside hollow forms. Great Tool!

This thing does not perform well at all! It spins well until you put against something and then it stops with very little pressure. I am running it with a large compressor (6 HP 30 gallon tank)with proper pressure and volume. It is almost useless. I wish I would have just bought a small angle die grinder instead. Don't waste your money on this tool!

Bought this gun thinking that for $50 it couldn't be much. Boy, was I surprised. We use this to spray stains, sealers, and lacquers and it's the best gun we've owned. My Graco cost 4 times as much and doesn't perform as well. My only complaint was it seemed a little heavy but we soon got use to that. Has great control to provide excellent atomization and spray pattern. We like it so well we are ordering another one.

PressureSwitch, 135-175, 1Port, Unload, Sw

• Air Compressor

Square D is not the name it used to be with their pressure switches, but this one still fills the bill for lighter duty equipment.

Yes, the control is lighter throughout than those of earlier times. This one actually has a non-adjustable pressure differential of 35 PSI, while its cutoff can be adjusted as low as 100 PSi or as high as 200 PSI. The factory cutoff setting is 175 PSI, so the cut-in is actually 140 at this setting.

The amperage is listed by horsepower as 1.5Hp@115 volts and 2Hp@230 in single phase power by Schneider Electric. Why they chose this oddball rating method is inane, but the actual amperage rating is going to be roughly 8-10 running amps the figure you will find and need to use from your electric motor plate. Excessive electrical draw under load? Don't go there, but momentary starter amps shouldn't cause concern unless the motor or compressor is in poor condition. This switch is not heavy duty, so I recommend dropping the factory pressure setting to decrease your compressor motor load. A cutoff setting of 150 PSI will help this switch last longer along with your compressor. Of course, this means the cut-in pressure will also drop to 115 PSI. That shouldn't be a problem as most air tools have a recommended maximum of about 90 PSI. If you're using a single stage compressor, you'll want to set this pressure lower anyway and your tank may not be rated for pressure settings over 130 PSI. This would still give you a cut-in pressure of 95 PSI which is where many 1-2 Hp compressor are set at the factory for safety concerns. The factory rated safety valve on your compressor will actually determine how high you should set this switch, but higher isn't better for any compressor use.

I have a 2-stage 2 HP compressor and this switch was just what I needed, but I would not recommend it for larger units unless used in conjunction with a higher amperage magnetic switch. The pressure differential at 35 PSI is adequate and my unit performs well with this switch. I actually purchased it for the lever switch incorporated into it, as my OEM switch did not have this feature. The included pressure unloader has a standard 1/4-inch NPSF fitting.

This was a perfect replacement for my old pressure switch. Works great!

As I live in a rural area bugs got in the OEM Switch and locked it on. As such my compressor was running an awfully long time. I manually shut it off before any damage was done.

This pressure switch appears to be pretty well sealed so hopefully it wont get buggy and crap out.

Switch itself works fine. No complaints.

• Ceiling, wall or floor mount with sturdy, high-gauge steel bracket and 3" whip connector hose
• FAST recoil action with variable ratchet lock-stops

I was researching hose reels and found a wide range of quality and price. I hate buying the cheap stuff at the local bargain store (you can pick one up for about $30). But I know these cheap ones always have problems, and I know the high quality ones work without any problems. I know the high quality ones are dependable and they can take a beating (I've worked in a number of places that have these). However, a high quality hose reel it can be $400+. So I thought I'd try this one out being that the price is reasonable.

So it's been installed for about 2 weeks now and I have to say that I love it. I've read some reviews where this model won't extend all the way out and/or won't retract all the way I didn't experience this at all. My hose reel extends the entire 50 feet, and it retracts all the way. You can even adjust the retraction force when the hose is almost fully wound I found that the force was too high the way it shipped, and the end would "SLAM" against the stop. So I adjusted it so that I can let it go at any length and it will retract all the way with a small "BUMP" at the end.

Mounting to the ceiling isn't very hard, but you do have to dis-assemble the reel from the stand to do it (this is where I learned you can modify the retraction force).

Shipping was super fast and it was double boxed, so the reel was in perfect condition.

The only gripe I have, is the hose itself. The picture shows a yellow plastic like external covering. I know these hoses get dirty and having that "slick" outer surface makes cleaning easy but my hose is the standard black rubber. It gets dirty laying on the ground and that black rubber can mark surfaces (just like a shoe scuff). The rollers that guide the hose back into position are already black (and it's only been 2 weeks). But that's my only gripe I'm pleased with reel and I didn't have to spend lots of money to get good quality.

I was surprised at the quality of this reel for the price. I had priced similar hose reels with 1/4 in hose locally for a lot more and was not even close to the quality of this reel. The 3/8 hose mounted to the reel is quality hose and allows a full flow of air to my tools. The fittings used on the reel are heavy duty and should last for years. I would and have recommended this hose reel to my friends.

This hose reel is really nice. The hose and reel are both very heavy duty and will surely last me for years to come. I just hung it up in my gargage last weekend. The only issue I am having is that it does not seem to catch (so it does not wind up) as easy as I would like. I have to fuss with it a bit. I am trying to find an adjustment to make this work better, but it is pretty good as it is.

I just purchased this hose reel after much research since it seems like the best value. It arrived well packaged (double boxed) and with no damage.

I decided to mount this on the ceiling of my garage. Since it is heavy enough to hurt someone if it fell I got a 2x2 foot piece of 3/4 plywood, cut it in half, and then glued & screwed the halves together. This gave me a strong mount that spanned two ceiling rafters. I inserted 4 carriage-bolts through from the top of the wood to serve as the mounting bolts for the hose reel.

Once everything was mounted the reel was very solid except that it there is some wobbling as you pull the hose out. This is because the actual reel mechanism is supported on just the one side (as you can see on the Amazon picture). To resolve that I cut a 14 inch piece of 1" by 1/8th steel bar and bent one end to meet the mounting wood and the other to meet one of the several unused holes on the side of the hose reel bracket. The unused holes in the bracket are 5/16 and will need to be drilled through to insert a bolt) I used 2 lag bolts on the end that attached to the plywood. Once that angled steel bar was in place it was much more stable.

I purchased this for my husband as he is trying to organize his garage. He curently has a monster air compressor and just had his hose draped over the compressor. This fixed his problem and he is very happy with the durability and quality of it. It was a perfect solution to our problem and he LOVES it!
