Air Compressors
Which one from these two would you get and why? The price is going to be very close to the same so that is not a deciding factor. I am really struggling to make up my mind. Thanks

Re: Air Compressors
I would also go with the eaton. It is all cast iron pump where the Quincy has an aluminum head. I have never owned one with aluminum head but never heard good stories.

Re: Air Compressors
I looked at eatons when we were shopping, they seem really good, but I don't actually know anyone that has one in a shop.
I'd also recommend looking into champion. we actually have 2 different champion compressors, and they both work great. |

Re: Air Compressors
I have the Quincy 60 gal 2 stage I bought from Northern about 5 years ago , No issues runs as strong as the day I installed it , they rate the compressor at 50,000 hrs of worry free run time . I dont expect to have falure on my quincy in my lifetime .

Re: Air Compressors
Single phase, but it does sport a 60 amp breaker for the start up surge

Re: Air Compressors
I bought a Eaton compressor a few years ago and I have not had any problems with it at all. Has a 80 gallon tank. Very quiet when running.
