just curious where you guy's set you compressor psi

100, unless I need more power for an impact or similar.
 
160 at work cause I can and if need my 3/4 impact I am covered if I use 1/2 fitting with hose.
 
Bought my compressor used probably 20 yrs ago, it was set at 138(?) and I've never messed with it.
 
I crank it up and leave it there... haven't broke anything yet and 33 gallon tank typically does fine; however, I believe if you set to what each tool recommends, it wont waste excess air...
 
Our old compressors cutoff switch started self adjusting before it finally bit the dust. I found out my 3/8 impact would break lug studs with ease at 190psi.

I keep my service truck set at 125, home is around 120.
 
I adjust mine all the time depending on the tool. I just use the tool recommendation. Until something is being a **** **** **** ****. Then I crank that bitch up
 
170 psi in the tank and 120ish in the lines. Two stage pump, 80gal tank, 160' 1/2" hard line.
 
Max pressure on mine is 125, that's what I run it at.
