air compressor suggestions

[85 Jimmy]

i know i'm getting a 60 gallon air compressor with an oiled (not oilless) motor, but i haven't decided which brand i want. i've been looking at craftsman profesional but from the reviews it sounds like they have a problem problems with the motor (anyone use it and have problems?) then i looked at ingersoll-rand and from the reviews they don't look much better

When I buy a new compressor I will be buying an Eaton Compressor. They use top notch pieces to make one heck of a compressor. http://www.eatoncompressor.com/page/page/504413.htm

It's hard to beat a Campbell Hausfeld or an Ingersol Rand. Both of those compressors can be had for cheap.

don't know how the pricing stacks up, when I got this one I had no time to price shop. Needed the biggest one I could find that day. Has been running hard everyday for the last 3 years. No complaints so far.

Kert, if you look at the name plate that is a Campbell Hausfeld compressor. I'm guessing you bought it at Home Depot? That's the name on my compressor that i bought there.

If you can spend a little more money, I would get a dual stage compressor with an all cast iron pump cylinder. But if your like me and money needs to last as far as you can stretch it, then I got a used porter cable 60 gallon 5hp oiled compressor for $250. If you look around and watch the auctions or craigslist, you can find a deal if your willing to wait a little while.

motors dont last because people cant focking read... you have to retorque the bolts on the motor after like 80 hours or something...
