@@RCInsiders I have a Quincy QT-54 60 gallon 2 stage I bought a couple years ago. It is pretty quiet as well. I had a 60 gallon oil-free compressor that was very loud and slow. It flew apart and they no longer made parts for it so I bought the Quincy. I converted a milling machine to cnc and needed air for it so I used some rapidair 3/4" air line to plumb my shop. I have a few hose reels also, 2 inside, 1 outside so I am covered pretty good.

@robinspina9968 Жыл бұрын

Hello. I purchased this Kobalt air compressor about a week ago. Glad you like it. It worked impressively helping me blow out my sprinkler system, but that was after I first had an issue. I'm wondering if you have any comments about the following issue. First, of course I let the tank fill and after a few minutes it was filled. Then I turned on my sprinkler Zone 1 and the compressor blew out the remnant water just fine. However, the compressor would not turn on again to refill the tank after it dropped to 50 psi or whatever it was. I kept turning it off and on to no avail. Yes, the ballcock at the bottom was closed. So I then opened the ballcock and let the remaining air out. After I did that, it turned on again to refill the tank. I then went to Zones 2 and 3 and repeated all three zones again with no problem whatsoever. Now, is that something that can be explained or do you think the compressor is defective? Thanks in advance for any thoughts you can throw my way.

Hey Robin. I had this happen one time when it was newer & not happened since after hundreds of hours of use. I was told by a mechanic that it could be a pressure sensor issue or it could of just been a "glitch" & since it didn't happen again to not worry about it. This has been the best air compressor I've ever had & I still turn it on sometimes for no other reason but to hear how quiet it is :) Did you have a different compressor before this one?

If you're running your air tools over a hundred PSI you need to turn them down I can't believe you haven't burned them up yet 150 PSI is way too much for any air tool even an impacted by . Professional shops don't even run them. You'll burn the seals and hopefully you're using air impact lubricant

I run out of pressure very quickly when using my Kobalt air chisel with this air compressor. I've played with the tool regulator and still cant get lasting pressure. It runs out of pressure in 10-15 seconds as I'm chiseling out a plaster mold. The darn compressor run continuously to try to keep up with me. I don't know why mine and your results are different.

@RCInsiders Жыл бұрын

Hi, Not sure. My thoughts are that the tool has a big air leak, or possibly oversized? What size chisel are you using? Do you have the 150 psi, 26 gallon tank like in the video? Also, make sure the drain valve is closed all the way & check all fittings and hoses for leaks. I can run the chisel for a long time. I did the whole step and never ran out of air. The only time I really run out of air is when running a large impact for extended periods of time. Sorry to hear you're having issues. Let me know if I can help.

It was only a bent exhaust cover, he gave it to me, and I fixed it. Anyway, can't beat free, but it won't last too long without kicking on and it's adequately loud. I was eyeing the Flexzilla 20 gallon due to quiteness (less than 50dba) and CFMs, but I also would like closer to 30 gallon. That Flexzilla is pricey, but the EMAX Hulk at Northern is basically the same but for noticeably less. Well, thanks for the reply. Yours seems a good choice, and I'm looking at some low CFM guns at Eastwood which might make all this work. My biggest job will be the undercarriage. I'll get a pro shop to put on the base and clear.

How much dd the tool pressure drop from the 100psi when the big impact was triggered?

@RCInsiders Жыл бұрын

Hey Bryan, With the initial trigger pull you lose about 10 psi then quickly regains. I can usually run about 5 minutes til the compressor kicks in to compensate pressure loss. I will then deplete sufficient psi in another 5 minutes. This very rarely happens as I almost never run the impact for more than a couple minutes at a time. The large capacity tank keeps most of my projects running without waiting for refill. Been a great compressor for me. By far the best I've had. Are you getting one?

@@choppedandscrewedcustoms The capacitor (some compressors have two) is located under the plastic cover where the electronics are. Something else you can try is to change the oil and break it in again. Make sure that you don't overfill the crankcase. The oil level should be halfway on the sight glass when the compressor is off and sitting on a level floor. Let it run for 30 minutes with no load and the drain valve wide open. Then shut it off, change the oil again and wait a few hours or overnight to allow full cool down. Then turn it on and use it enough to allow the compressor to kick and see if that solves your situation. Use straight 30W compressor oil that you can purchase at your local auto parts store or home center.

Just curious...Why are you watching a review video of something you claim you gave away? In the video, you watched me running an air hammer non stop, an air hog to say the least. I run all my air tools with no issues. Always stopping & waiting with my ols compressor. This is not an industrial compressor you would find in a shop setting. It is meant for the home garage & it does this perfectly. And it is very quiet!! :) Thanks for dropping ny & have a great day. @RCInsiders

You didn’t give shit away. Stop the weird ass flex.
