True "Can't be expensive" ? How much U want to spend? IF your circuit breaker boa is close to your garage, it's very easy to run a 220v. line in. A 120v , 33 gallon won't run air tools for crap, it will run a 1/2 impact to pull your lugnuts BUT you may have to wait for it to catch up (also depends on the quality of the impact wrench). It won't run a drill or grinder very good. This one only puts out 5.1 cfm @ 90psi, not great for rotary air tools. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-33-g ... ompressor-C331H/203995169 This one puts out 11.5 cfm @ 90 psi. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-60-g ... ompressor-C602H/205389936 It will handle everything you need it too. It's really impossible to find a 120v that will run airtools without them slowing down after 1 minute. Air drills/grinders specs say they consume 4-5 cfm @ 90psi, don't believe it. The 60 gal Husky is what I have run for 8 years, happy with it. I wish it was an 80 gal with more horsepower but those and expensive. And the really good used ones are $2,000. |
