Thread: Harbor Freight Compressor ?

Tweet

I'm Thinking about getting a 21 gallon, Oiled air compressor to get started making pneumatic props this year. Anybody have any experience with or knows anything about the Central Pneumatic Line of air compressors? They gave a great deal on this compressor for $139.

on line its $200... id go for it

I've got one of their 4 gallon pancake compressors and I have used it alot, even dropped it off the back of my truck...still working great.

Hey here is an Idea for everyone. If a silent compressor is needed checkout
BEARAIR.com it is an AIRBRUSH supplier. and there are several different brands. I also have a design for a Compressor cover that knocks the sound down and keeps it from over heating too. I'll look for the article that was in AirBrush Action a few years back. and I can scan it for anyone that might be interested.

I have an 8 gallon from HF and I love it. Got it on sale for 85 bucks.

Just don't buy it online. I have two compressors from Harbor Freight. I bought a 21 gallon online and had it shipped. It must have been shipped on it's side because there was oil everywhere when it arrived. It never did work right and I use it as a reserve air tank now. Also if you buy it online, you cannot exchange or return it to a store. It has to go back online. The second compressor I got from the actual HF store works fine. I would just buy it at the store itself in my experience.

Cool, thanks for the heads up Thedarktomb! I will definatly go to the store and buy it then. We have a couple here in Atlanta so I will go there. Thanks!
