Re: Air tools
as far as a compressor goes i have a craftsman with a rating of 4(3 hp 150psi 15gal) if your going to use it a ton i would get a 6 rating my keeps up for the most part except heavy 1/2in air ratcheting or orbital sander use, get a quality impact with some balls(400ftlbs) and go cheap for you air ratchet the rest depends on what your going to do with it.Comment

Re: Air tools
Lowe's has some good deals going on right now.. they have a ~15 gallon compressor with I think a 2hp electric motor, with a tool set for ~$300. Its a decent deal. I'm just buying all this stuff myself, so ive been pricing around. I normally use craftsman for all my tools, but i couldnt afford the extra $100-$200 right now to get all the stuff craftsman...
But look around.. Lowe's has good deals on sets, Home Depot is ok... just look around and compare.. I had to get a certain set cause my garage is only 110V/20A.. so check things like that too wh ile you're at it...
also, dont forget to get things like hose, fittings, teflon tape.. that sorta stuff.. and an air drye wont hurt either...Phill<br /><br />95 camaro... need money for turbo project... <br />94 S10 Blazer - winter beater - infinity system to be installed soon<br /><br />\"The man who says it cant be done should not interrupt the man doing it...\"Comment

My dad's house. :D He has been collecting tools since before I was born, so within about 24 ish years of Christmas', birthdays and father's days it just added up.Originally posted by auto666
He started buying my brother and I tools since we were about 15 cuz he was tired of us always using/abusing/loosing his tools.
