new garage

ralaubach · Jul 8, 2012

So just got my first house and working on putting the garage together. looking for a recommendation on an air compressor. Plans for use is just general garage jobs, rotate tires using air tools, fill tires and such. Space is a little limited due to it only being a one car garage. I don't need it to be portable. For the most part it will stay in the garage.

Thanks for the replies.

Congrats!! Gotta love having a garage. I've got my bigger compressor ever, and it's about 6' tall. One of the red 240 volt they sell at home depot. Seems to work great but I modified the drain and gave it an L shaped pipe to a valve so I can drain it easily.

awesome on the garage. the bigger the tank the less you have it running to fill when you are using...obviously LOL

I've got a Campbell Hausfield in my garage. CT has them for 350$ ish and it seems to work well for what I use it for.

Get the biggest compressor your budget can handle, then a little more.

Never once has it been said "Damn, I wish I had a smaller compressor".
Make a out building off the side of the garage and put it outside, plumb it in with iron pipe.

I just bought a six gallon hitachi that has two ports for tools from Lowes. It's pretty sweet.

Found this, you guys think it is a decent deal? I was thinking to offer him 220.

Looks good.. same size I have... they are nice and portable, and mine keeps up pretty good so long as I'm not spraying paint on anything... I don't know what they are worth, so I'll leave that for someone else to comment on.

my neighbor has the setup in his garage with all the air hoses built in.....he spent quite a bit on it.
