madman_us Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 i was debating the whole time between:IR 4gal twin stack (really good reviews and for $299 a good price)Makita BigBore ( i had it in my shop for testing but its way too loud )Rolair VT25BIG or something.... ( for $450 kinda on the expensive side ) anyway; couple weeks i went to Lowes and i walked thru the air compressor section.found a Porter Cable 4gal compressor (was $199) on clearance for $75 brand new.i searched on the internet and i just found really good reviews. So i bought it.4gal, 1HP, Oil-lubricated pump delivers 3.4 SCFM @ 90 PSI i am really really happy with that compressor. amazing good price too here a link from the air compressor, homedepot.com had it toohttp://www.homedepot.com/p/Porter-Cable-4-Gal-Stack-Tank-Electric-Air-Compressor-PCFP02040/205160909 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
