The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Tool Chest New Compressor - MORE POWER!

After four years of faithful service I have sold off my 20 gallon C-H compressor and replaced it with one that should cover all the bases.

The old compressor only gave me 5.6 CFM at 90psi which pales in comparison to the 13.3 CFM at 90 psi the new unit provides. I can even run my sand blaster with this baby.

I shopped around and compared models and pricing and decided this unit from Lowes provided the power, capacity and pricing elements I wanted.

The new unit has a 60 gallon tank, 3.5 HP running, twin cylinder pump with aftercooler, and the before mentioned air volume.

It is a bit louder than the old unit but not obtrusively so. Now I can really go to town with the DA, line sander, air tools, sprayer and blaster.

Did blast the rally rims for the 54 today and found I could get ahead of the compressor but a quick rest and it was ready to go again. I am happy now.

Here is a pic of the new addition.

Good choice,it's the same one I have, I really like it.

know a few gents that have that model ..good sucess ...I personally like Kobalt tools and equipt. NP's love there gaurantee and it a lot closer for than any Sears Craftsman wich is on the dowslide in my opinion.
Try out the Kobalt hand tools you will be impressed.

I have a similar model just a little smaller. Wish it were like yours. You can never have enough AIR POWER! I have Craftsman and Kobalt hand tools. I like the feel of Kobalt much better then Craftsman hands down.

Enjoy that new compressor.It sure is nice to be able to run anything you want to and not run out of air.I updated a few months ago,to an Ingersol Rand and it does a great job for me.
