Re: Are Ingersoll Rand good air compressors?
There commercial grade stuff is legit, and high quality. So it likely carries over across the line.
My current job has 3 giant ones for processing, and I have used them in pneumatic systems |

Ingersoll-rand makes other brands compressors also. My 60 gallon Husky from home depot is a rebranded IR

Re: Are Ingersoll Rand good air compressors?
Looks like one of mine I bought about 8 years ago on sale at tractor supply $650.00 Model SS4L5 5 HP 220 60 gallon , Works perfect from day 1 . I set it up right next to my circuit breaker box on a 30 amp breaker and good cable / plug . about $120.00 for accessories . Handles all my air tools / sanders ,Etc I have a Black Max 80 gallon for blasting and long use sanding .
DON'T LAY STAND UP AIR COMPRESSORS DOWN ONCE YOU HAVE FILLED THEM WITH OIL . $850.00 new at tractor supply info - https://www.ingersollrand.com/en-us/...perience/ss4l5

Re: Are Ingersoll Rand good air compressors?
Mine works fine using my Harbor freight blast cabinet , Once you get to 60 gallon capacity the compressor will just cycle more . I'm not a fan of using pvc air lines , I know a lot of guys do but if you've ever seen it blow you wouldn't .

My C.H. was a good unit. I think my ex paid something like 400 bucks for it. (Birthday present) But that was a long time ago when she still loved me. I'm sure that they are more now. I would price new ones. You might have to pony up a couple of extra bucks but you could get it delivered and really be able to pick what you want. "Assembled in America" I don't think that you can get away from that these days. Everything is farmed out. I just bought a new Milwaukee drill. I thought it was a good brand. I've always bought DeWalt before. It didn't work right out of the box. I returned it. I don't know if brand names mean anything anymore.
