I've been needing an air compressor for the longest time. I've been saving a couple of bucks here and there with my eye on a Husky (Campbell), 32 Gal, 150 PSI (max), WITH tool set for $298.00
I went in today and bought it expecting to pay a little over 300 with tax. To my surprise, when it was rung up it was only $248.00 including tax! I didn't ask the gal if it was on sale. I just said, "Thanks!!"
It's a 110 VAC oil-less but, it should be fine for my needs. Since I'm not in the bidness of auto restoration, it should be fine for my little project!
Daddy's happy!!!! :hot:

I have been looking to buy a compresor like that. Have you used it yet? and do you like it?

Haven't put it to the real test yet. Got her hooked up and just quick connected all of the tools to see that they spun freely. I really want to go ahead and get a line dehydrator before using it too much (especially painting!!). Figure if I can keep the water out of my tools, they might last longer. It derfinitely collects water. Just letting it pressure up fully, testing the tools and then releasing all of the air out of the tank, there was a noticable amount of water being vented. Not to suprising with the level of humidity down here. It's not AS bad up ther in Waco but, I remember some pretty steaming summers up there while I was going to TSTI.

BTW, I picked it up at Home Depot.
