@stanleykachuik2589 11 ай бұрын

After researching air compressors and owning several for welding and sandblasting. Here's the downlow. I call it the rule of 5. SCFM is a measure of how much air the compressor pulls from the atmosphere. To know how much air flow is going to your tool, devide by 5. Based on that, you quickly see that each true CFM being delivered to your tool costs $500. You need to run a 3cfm tool. Expect to pay $1500 for the compressor that claims to have 14-16 scfm. Most everything else ( PSI, horsepower, duty cycle, oil less, tank size ect. ) Only affects longevity of the compressor.

I may have missed it in the video, but a very important detail is the duty cycle of this unit. Rigid recommends 5 minutes of run time followed by 5 minutes off for a 50% duty cycle. It can obviously run much longer, but it will shorten the life if you ignore the duty cycle. I have a Tornador at home and this seems like an excellent unit to buy for my occasional use, as well as tire pressures, air gun, or in general compressed air through a nozzle to clean something out, but for the professionals they should keep duty cycle in mind. I'm guessing they have their Tornadors running for much more than 5 minutes at a time without giving the compressor a break.

@PanTheOrganizer Жыл бұрын

The 6 gallon version wouldn't be a good choice for detailing in my opinion, as the Ridgid 6 gallon pancake version only outputs 2.6 SCFM at 90 psi, compared to the more expensive 4.5 gal unit which has an air delivery of 5.1 SCFM at 90 psi which is needed for higher requirements of tools like the Tornador. SCFM (not the regular CFM rating) is key when selecting an air compressor, and you want at least 5 SCFM at 90 psi.

I don’t use impact wrenches but from my quick research it seems most impact wrenches require approximately 5 CFM @ 90 psi and this air compressor can handle that no problem. So my guess is you should be fine. But double check your impact wrenche’s requirements to make sure.

It will turn on for sure while you are using power hungry tools continuously for sure. There are limits to what 4.5 GAL will do. It’s always a compromise of size vs performance.

Using a leaf blower on dry dust won't do much. The best way is to wash the car. If you don't want to spend the time washing it, just spray the vehicle with a rinseless wash and then gently wipe with a microfiber drying towel.

Hi Pan. A very nice and clear explanation of your recommended air compressor. I recently needed to get a new one and opted for a Husky 30 gal 175psi. My old 20 gallon lasted 25 years. If I may HIGHLY RECOMMEND something is that when shopping for a compressor get the quietest one you can find. This Rigid one that you have here is 77 db which is excellent. You might not think that it matters but believe me it really does. I chose 30 gallon over 20 (my old one) and am extremely glad I did. I also chose to have 2 hoses, one 25 footer and one 50 footer. It’s easier to maneuver a shorter hose. Most of the time I only use the 25 footer. I consider an air compressor a “must have” for detailers, especially if doing interiors. Again Pan, great video. 😀👏

Been thinking about getting a small air compressor like this…can you use these to blow out excess water around headlights, taillights, mirrors, door handles etc…so it doesn’t drip afterwards vs buying one of these for normal uses and buying one of the blowers for drying cars? I would imagine it’s all the same right it’s just air so I don’t see the reason for both…

@PanTheOrganizer Жыл бұрын

Yes this has enough power to do everything you need for detailing. If you get an air blow out tool, you can use it to blow air out of intricate areas, door jams, sills, mirrors, trim, headlights, door handles, grilles, etc. But it's a more "focused" stream of air, so not really used for drying the entire vehicle, although technically you could. Car dryers (or leaf blowers) blow out a wider stream of air so they are more useful if you want to dry the entire vehicle. It will be quicker with a big blower like EGO leaf blower, or MetroVac Master Blaster blower for example.
