Great info but man, nobody wants to listen to that music when being taught something.

Good points. Been using compressors for 30 years and started before youtube and had to learn all this stuff the hard way.

Very Important info here folks. I did not know all these particulars when I sent compressor shopping. Bought a small 6 gallon Craftsman to do light garage/hotrod work. Hooked up my die grinder with a cut off wheel and it didn't run for 30 seconds. I had to wait until tank pressure built back up. What a pain in the butt. Looking for a much better one now arming myself with the right knowledge. Thanks for sharing brother. Cheers from Motown/Dearborn.

Great advice, makes sense, easy to follow, and please keep "coaching" us, you're great at it. THANK YOU!

This helped me out a lot, thanks!

Great video. Very helpful. I agree the background music noise could go. But still very helpful.

Mike always delivers!!!!!

I gotta say this commercial was done very very well just a bit of promoting with lots of useful information is great

Great video and explanation!

good point about the hose and scfm tools. TU

Very helpful and well-done vid. Thanks for posting it 👍🏽

Excellent information. Thank you.

I noticed in one of your latest videos you had to ditch that compressor when you got a media blast cabinet. At least now you have the type of compressor that men use. LOL! You did provide some good accessory info in this vid. Thanks for that.

Great informative video!! Thx

Great adviceThanks

Just got my Campell Hausfeld VT6271. Perfect size and portability for my home. Time to sell the old Husky 30 gallon with a measley 1.7 HP!

Nice and informative video.

I would like to also add that belt driven compressors are generally more quiet then direct drive ones.

Awesome video!

Thanks 😊

This video needs more likes

Can confirm, I bought the 29 gallon Harbor Freight special and regret not going larger. I am currently using it to sandblast car parts (suspension), and the compressor runs constantly and can't keep up. Using 80 PSI in the line, 150 at the tank, guessing I need at least a 60 gallon.

I'm after the smallest, quietest option that can handle spray painting, airbrushing and cleaning. If it can handle nailing and stapling that's good too, but otherwise I already have tools for grinding, cutting and drilling. For spray painting I'm happy to use either HVLP or LVLP.

U know me too well bro!!! ❤️❤️ weekend Warrior here

Hay I have a 26g made by y’all and it’s not building pressure I used it for about 4 mins :( Thank you for fixing the issue and sending me a replacement!

Nice video...real nice compressor...noticed the 220v outlet next to it...ouch...but worth it. SCFM + 30% Thank You

Straight to the point no bullshit with only a laid back plug.outstanding man!

Great video sir.. What can you advice me to get if I will be painting bike frames? Thank you

Interesting to see that since this video he's upgraded to an Eaton 7.5HP 80 gallon compressor. I was trying to find that video again and found this one.

Those information is really good I dont know much so i buy a 100psi 3 gallon compressor thinking I can use it for small minor paint job as I spray but it turned out the tank is too small I am sending you this message all the way from South America Guyana

Is there an advantage to higher horsepower? I have a working 5hp compressor motor from an old rusted tank so will it improve performance if I swap out the 1.5hp motor on a newer compressor with the higher hp motor? Great video.

Thanks this video just made me more confident about my recent purchase of a c&h 80 gal two stage answered a lot of questions for me

hey iam a noob when it comes to compressors, can u recommend me couple moudles witch r small and compact for cleaning and dusting of Computers ? and what does it need in order to work beside a wall outlet ? Great vid Btw thanks a lot

thank goodness i just found your upload.... I want to spray paint my car and plan to hand sand, will a 6L oil-less air compressor be enough for the job?

Good, informative video. Though there are lots of user profiles in between full-time grease monkey and soccer-ball filler. One aspect is portability. What's best if you do both automotive and carpentry with lots of different tools split between shop, outdoors, and house? But in short stints, not full-time.

Buying a atlas copco ga18 older model. Thank you

How could anyone want more information lol!! That was the best video on air compressors I’ve seen!!👍🏻

thanks for the video, I’m confused .... but how do you make sure that the tools we already have (or want to buy more tools) that they are/will be “SCFM” ?? I went to CH’s website and looked at their “air tools” and never saw SCFM listed in their specs sheet for the tools ... so where can we buy SCFM tools - i wanna replace the only 2 tools that i have with SCFM tools. Do we google SCFM tools and it will list the brands that carry/make them ? I’d like to buy all matching brand air tools. Sorry, but YES i am a noob. Please help me understand.

well done

I just wanted to know whats a good tank size thats sufficient to pump tires, other videos never explains that. Thank you for explaining that bro

i just want to paint some wheels. Paint and clear coat. What do you recommend?

Video help me select air compressor too good 👍👍👍👍👍

Great product. Buy it!

good video my brother

Hello Does air compressor work by pulling the surrounding air in and I plug it in with 120v socket or do I need to do a full install by routing hoses to the outside of the garage etc? Basically how do i install a air compressor? Thank you

I don't understand something. I started watching a lot of videos about compressors, because I was looking to pick up a smaller, portable unit that I could take with me in the truck when I travel to go work on my Dad's house. Watching these videos was the first time I ever heard people telling me that I can't do...something that I have done more than once. You see, my "big" compressor that I don't want to lug around on the road is only a 20 gallon, 4.8 CFM Campbell Hausfeld. And I swear to you, before I upgraded to my current 20V orbital sander, I used a pneumatic orbital sander with that thing all the time. I completely sanded down TWO vehicles for paint, using that 20 gallon compressor and DeWalt pneumatic orbital. Now, granted, the first one was a Jeep CJ. But the second one was my RAM 1500 Mega Cab. The second one is a HUGE vehicle. And I did not have any problems with the motor providing me plenty of air from beginning to end. It is confusing. Why does EVERYONE on the internet seem to believe that you cannot do that job with that compressor?

I got a 60 gal 2 stage 175 psi for tires and blow gun. Basically its a CH, different color rebrand.

Are you sure you want to stick to the statement of less pressure in the smaller fittings/hose?

Hay fin test out the scroll compressor from Eastwood and give a review ????

Perfect.

Free air delivery FAD is the most important. If the cfm is around 14 take 1/3 off. Will make FAD about 10cfm this is what the compressor will run comfortably at.

Dude u r god send...

Very informative. I actually want to build my own. That being said. I sound proofed my shed so my compressor isn’t taking up space in my garage and or annoying everyone when I wanna work at 1am :D

It's unfortunate that Campbell Hausfeld no longer has the same quality people have come to expect from the brand.

I found a campbell hausfeld 2gallon 100max psi in a marketplace and wondering if its good enough to spray paint a car?

Anyone know the best 60 gallon compressor for under $500? For a home garage?

Husky 30 gal 1.7 HP 6.4 scfm at 40 PSI 78dBA vs California 10 gal 2 HP 6.4 cfm at 40 psi 70dBA, which is better? More powerful? I would like to sandblast metal fences (protectors) and paint metal.

Are the harbor freight compressors powered by a 32/1 premix 2 stroke? Because that would seem about right....

Nice video, Mike...I'm also shopping around for a 50Ft., 1/2" heavy duty rubber hose, on a reliable retractable reel, to handle any & all automotive air tools in the garage...what are your favorite 2 hoses on reels? Thanks! :)

Nice channel colleagues. regards from StoParts Ltd

Does anybody look at that power plug for the compressor at the start and think why didn't the turn it around so the chord hung straight instead of kinked?

Minimum compressor needed to use a sandblaster to remove paint from aluminum?

That's pretty cool, I was wondering how big of a compressor I would need when I win the tools from finnagans air tools contest haha

Was Your Father a Musician? When my son was 3 years old we had a video tape of a guy singing children’s songs. One of the songs was titled Micheal Finnegan. That song stuck in my mind for many years. my Son is 24 years old now and a Mechanical Engineer. Seeing your names was a blast from the past. You and I have another commonality we both work for a Berkshire Hathaway Company.

Hola ,una consulta la marca Campbell hausfeld es americana? O china? Por q aki en Perú quise comprar una compresora de aire de 2hp de 8 galones y en la caja y la máquina dice hecho en china

I have had quite a few air compressors in my time but Campbell Hausfeld compressors are the ones that have always let me down. Now I refuse to buy a Campbell Hausfeld compressor. I am currently looking for just a smaller compressor and it will probably be a Makita. Now those compressors rock.

What kind of aircompreser do I need to press ball-bearing?

Love the structure of this video!

I have a 15 year old USA made Campbell Hausfeld 7 hp 60 gallon twin cylinder air compressor still working fine. I could never figure out if you read the oil level with the dip stick all the way in or just touching. I've always used Mobile1 oil. It keeps up with the cabinet sandblaster and painting.

My filter/dryer inputs right to left what's up with that?

How many gallons do I need for a hopper doing texture

I have the 5hp compressor like the one Mike has behind him its a 1997 and has been kept drained and the oil has been changed yearly that thing just keeps on running

Doesn’t pressure increase when diameter is reduced? Assuming a constant supply at a lower psi If not, it should be labeled as volume

Get a Sailor Beall or Champion as big as you can afford . A T30 Ingersoll Rand is not bad .

I wanna buy a air bottle Jack can you help me figure out what size compressor I need ?

Turn up the music!!! I’m rockin out!!!

I love my Quincy 390 compressor in my basement. 35 CFM @ 560 RPM with a 10hp motor on a 50 amp single phase circuit. If I want to double my CFM all I need to do is purchase a 20 horsepower motor and change the pulley size.

thank you ! sayging that i must be honest to mig self! now i will by the compressor that i need not what i want

Good video, I’ve learnt a bit. I will mainly want to use a nail gun and spray paint, but not all of the time. So what PSI and SCFM, also the size of tank. What would you recommend then? 👍👍👍👍

Nice video, what size air compressor do I need to blow out pipes in my inground pool? This is the first season I will close my pool myself.

How many gallons is this compressor? And how much does it cost ?

Finnegan is the best!

Can you swap parts between compressors? As in put a motor from one to another one? They are the same tanks. But different brands

I will like To purchase a compressor, I have a body shop and I use a lot of tools and recommend me which one is better for me

wow how did you guys get mike finnegan to do this video? he must really like your shit because he's a pretty busy guy.

adding a filter on a hose to the inlet pipe to the compressor filter like the cone ones kids use on their import car, It really quietens the noise.

Thank you, I'm smarter now.

Yeah... At home I've spent years and years running 30 gallon oil-less compressors and having to run my tools for 60 seconds then wait 10 minutes then get another 60 seconds lol. Terrible. Especially considering at the shop I get to use 150 CFM super compressors. Anywho, this video confirms for me the middle ground I need is a 60 gallon, with around 3-4 hp, wich should do around 10-14 CFM. Thanks for the confirmation.

You sold out to the man!

Hi I have a craftsman 60 gallon compressor the Pistons cracked on it and was wondering what size compressor pump do you have on yours is there anyway you could send me the model number of that compressor pump very appreciated if you send me that info thank you being that parts do not come out for this compressor anymore so I have to go that way👍

230 is standers here in Australia 10amp

Pressure has little to do with properly driving tools it is the cfm that makes the difference. Yes, they are close cousins but if you don't have the volume the pressure isn't going to do squat. Also, the compressor in your corner is a tinker toy, 2 hoses would deplete this thing in seconds.

I had a CH compressor and it was the worst buy I ever made at Lowes. It stopped pumping up at about 3 months of use and I would have to dump all the air to get the sensor to tell the compressor to come on and pump it up. I changed the switch assembly and it was fine for about a year and then the same thing started again. I was not using this thing all the time and when I did use it, it would run fine one time and then the next stop filling up such that I would have to stop working and let all the air out to get it running again. I sold it at a yard sale and picked up a 30-gallon, oil compressor, from Home Depot and it has been running flawlessly for over 3 years. I can run 6 air guns on it with no problems and it is a lot quieter than the CH oil-free compressor I had before. Interestingly, before I purchased the CH, I used a Porter Cable pancake compressor for 5 or 6 years and it is still in my garage working to this day.

question, how is it that big Ingersoll-Rand Garage Mate 20 gallon tank and 2 HP packs only 5.5 CFM and little Makita MAC5200 5.5 gallon tank Big Bore 3.0 HP gives 6.5 CFM?

Im in the market for an 80 gal compessor for my bow shop.. any recommendations?

clothes washers are 110 v not 220. i think you meant dryers ? For longevity especially if you use your compressor daily , consider a galvanized or stainless steel tank . this will al but eliminate any chance of your compressor blowing up due to faulty check valves .

To run a air sander without having to wait for the compressor you would need a 1000 cfm compressor, as in 99% of the cases the cfm is referred to the air intake not outlet, and the inlet is at atmospheric pressure, the outlet is 7-10 bar

Galen means 4 liter yes are no because hear in liter

Hi, I have a question. is it the compressor or the air lines that I need to look for to get the lug nuts etc. to get the job done on car? Ex if I have a 2.5 gal tank and 1/2” hose and fitting is it enough to get my lugnuts and other bolts done or I have to get bigger tank? Thanks!

Had one..60 gal from.1989..110v..noisey...I bought a Saylor beall..2 stage..80 gal. Vary quite..gave my old one to my brother..
