Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot | The compresserator combo's are neat, but are way overpriced for what they are. Unless space is a huge issue, it is cheaper to buy each a compressor and a generator. You can also buy what you want then, not just what came in the combo. Also, if one dies you can go get another and you can buy bigger/smaller/different brand, etc.
I've got one of the IR, and another brand X with the same Honda engine, wheelbarrow type compressors. They work good, are cheap and portable, etc. A little more air would be nice at times, IR has plenty of larger ones, but it will get the job done. A larger tank would help as much as anything, and would be easy to do on a truck. You could also use the trucks air (if so equipped), or daisy chain another cheap (electric) compressor in for those rare times you need more air. It will easily run air tools by itself though, no problem there. Only place it might be short is running a large air wand continuously for a long period of time. Personally, I like to take a break anyway and let the compressor catch up.
I do this a lot at my shop to run a 1/2" nozzle blowgun, I pull a pickup up and plug the gas powered compressor into the shop air, and together they will run a large nozzle continuously. | |
