You're going to love that thing! I have had the exact same one for 2 years and I love it. I also plumbed quick connects all over my garage, one by the garage door, one by the workbench, one to the media blaster, and a retractable reel by the compressor. I have yet to run something that it won't keep up with. Enjoy!!

Sorry I am late to the thread but you bought what I would have bought. I don't think you will regret it at all! Good decision Shawn!

Do you have a plasma cutter? I’d be curious to see how it keeps up cutting a piece of 3/4” plate. I’m not picking on your machines I’m generally curious. I have a Big Red air machine it does ok cutting 1/2” for a while.

Yep, that would be the one. They must have just changed the location since I got mine.

Pretty sure you could sever the air hose with a hatchet and the compressor would still keep up and cycle off :rofl:
