I'm planning on buying an air compressor. It will be in the garage. Mostly use it for: tires, blow out sprinklers, cleaning, etc. Will want to get some other air tools in the future, but nothing too much of an air hog. Sprinklers will likely be the biggest demand (SCFM wise). I am thinking an upright 10-20 gallon, 5ish SCFM @ 90PSI. Any recommendations?
I like these:
Porter Cable http://tinyurl.com/2fhjtkk [deltaportercable.com] $440 @ Amazon
Dewalt http://tinyurl.com/2b6y3y2 [homedepot.com] $390
Any advice? How are dewalt? Never had their stuff. Aren't they owned by B&D now? Do they make shoddy stuff as such?
They are the upper range of my price limit. Ideally, I'd find something cheaper. Maybe I am buying more than I need too.
Home depot had a Husky brand compressor that isn't online. 26 gal tank, 4-5 SCFM (I can't remember) and 2 air tools, & a hose for $230. Seemed too cheap for me. Husky compressors seem to have a decent rep, but it looks like they are made by Campbell Hausfeld which seem to have a horrible rep a lot of places online.
So, any thoughts? I would like to get closer to $300, but will drop the coin so that I don't get a POS.
