I’ve Been doing a lot of bodywork lately and run a 6" da sander I think it’s rated at 10 or 13 cfm and my craftsman air compressor just can’t keep up. I have an industrial baldor motor that’s 2hp 1725 rpm it’s a 00 motor according to baldors site and it runs smooth and great. Do you guys think I can use that motor with the compressor I have? Or should I get a bigger 2 cylinder compressor? (by the way I have two I’d say medium sized tanks that are tied together) if I need a new compressor for that size motor what type should I get (best for the price I’m sorta on a budget)

I have a craftsman oiless air compressor. All tools that I attach have low pressure to start. After I hold the attachment wide open for about 10 seconds, it will eventually break loose and the air flows normally. Once I let off the attachment and try to use again, it does the same thing. It seems like it could be a valve or something. Example: I have an attachment for pumping tires that has a handle. I have my compressor set at 80 psi but when I initially hold the handle it is only blowing maybe 5 psi. After holding the handle for about 10 seconds, it "breaks loose" and the air flows freely at 80 psi. I need to have the compressor set at 65 psi or more or it will not even "break loose". What is going on here?

Need pricing for yard sale this morning!

2 air compressor tools w/ no compressor (everyone says they’re nice and the kind you can use to take tires off and stuff)

16 drawer craftsman toolchest w/ ball bearing drawers (nice)

pricing also on random sockets and/or cords/tools . . . what’s a good way to put a tag on them?

Please give me legit and honest answers!!! THANKS!

Hello and thanks for reading my post. I am searching for an air compressor for my boyfriend. He doesn’t do any handy work around the home, but he does like to work on his car. I figured he’ll probably use it on inflating tires, loosening the nuts and bolts, and using the blowgun to blow away any excess water in the crevaces? However, I would also want this air compressor to last so that if he needs it for any other larger jobs he’ll also be able to. Would a craftsman 26gal be too large for now? here is a link of the one i’m thinking about purchasing, http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00916761000P
any help or recommendations for any other models are appreciated and thanks in advance.
Also the details of this compressor says oil free – will this be a lot better maintenance wise? or is it better to get one with lube oil?

a gasket blew out on our air compressor. its a little craftsman 2 gallon. its not the head gasket but the very top part where the valves are. i dont want to waste my time trying to find the right gasket cause its kind of an older model so if you could suggest the best material for it that would be great. thanks.

This is the Instructable for this video www.instructables.com This is my entry to the Craftsman Workshop of the future contest, at Instructables. I will show how to build a on-board air compressor from a mopar RV2 AC compressor and a on-board welder from a delco CS-144 alternator. This is part 1 of 2

This is just the end of my first building a OBA/ OBW video to demonstrate the projects results. This is the Instructable for this video www.instructables.com

This is part 2 of my on-board air / welder build.

I removed the compressor from the chasis and tank and strapped it to a stool using Duct Tape and wiring it to a standard 2 prong plug.

I was told that Sears is getting ready to put their craftsman 1 hp, 7 gallon portable air compressor on sale for 139.99. I can get the same deal right now at Lowes but their brand is a campbell Hausfeld. Which do you think is the best one to go with?
