Air Compressor

[oi8228oi]

i was wondering where i could find the air compressors that runs off the motor in to an aux tank. i would like to set one up so i can use it for everything from sand blasting to air cut off tools and to buy those big bulky hard to move compressors seems inpractiacal for me...

The problem with a compressor that is large enough to run some of the tools you have mentioned is that it needs to be capable of 15+ cfm @ 120 psi. That is a substantial sized compressor. You also then need at least a 20 gallon surge tank. Well, you begin to see the problems faced with a unit big enuf to handle air tools. Alot of guys will put in an aux compressor that runs off 12VDC with a small surge tank suitable for little things, filling a tire, running air horns etc etc......

you might try hornblasters.com. talk to matt. they sell ViAir air compressors. i bought a continuous duty 12v compressor that works at 100% with no down time to cool off. it will pump up to 140 psi before the pressure switch shuts it off. when the pressure gets down to 110 psi, it cuts back on.

Viair will not work out as good as the Oasis compressors.

I have one of those on my car for air suspension and want one for my truck for air supply.

had no problems with mine. works great. it fills up my 5 & 15 gallon tanks with no problem.
i took alook at the prices for the oasis comp. those prices will not work out as good as the ViAir comp.
