Toyota shit doesn’t count. I’m pretty sure getting hit or smashed with yota grade Chinesium is about the equivalent of getting hit with some pillows in a college dorm room pillow fight.
@@UnkleThor 🤣 Toyota isn't Chinese. Toyota revolutionized modern manufacturing and quality. In fact, I'll go as far as to say that the reason current American cars are as reliable as they are, is because of what Toyota engineers figured out decades ago. It's a known thing among engineers.
@@xXxTeenSplayer what you are saying is 100% true. And it’s why new products are totally absolute shit. And you’re not wrong, it’s not chinesium. It’s had millions of dollars worth of development to be significantly worse than Chinesium. They went way out of there way to make it shittier rather than just cheaper. It’s lean manufacturing 101. How can we cheaper, sloppier, faster, and less labor? That’s the only questions involved in modern automotive manufacturing.
I see the argument here on moisture in the oil vs oil in the air. Yes this thing will probably produce a lot less moisture in the airlines than a piston compressor but my piston compressor NEVER gets moisture in the oil. I've had my 5 hp 80 gallon Air Flight for well over 15 years. Not one problem. Same pressure relief valve, not one head rebuild, magnetic starter still primo. If you never had a piston compressor last more than a year then stop buying Walmart compressors. And I have my water separator 20 from the compressor to allow for condensation. You can't put the separator any closer than that because you're not allowing the air to condensate and let the separator do its job. And I live in high humidity Wisconsin. I paint cars with not one drop of moisture in my paint. I had and IR (Ingersol Rand) 60 gallon 5 hp once and the line blew off while I was gone. Still had the switch in auto. That compressor ran so long that the cast iron pump was WHITE when I got home. It was smoking hot. Let it cool for an entire day. Compressor made excellent air after that. Testament to buying a quality piston type compressor. I never leave my compressor switch on after that! I talked with the rep at Eastwood and he assured me all of the problems with this compressor have been worked out. That was a year ago. I can see they have not.
So you’re trying to argue what? You’ve had a piston compressor for 15 years. You don’t even use your compressor enough o understand or have an opinion dude. There’s the cold hard truth of the matter. Piston compressors used everyday and serviced don’t last a year. They don’t have moisture in the oil, they have sloppy pistons, thrown rods, bad motors, need endless belts and never last enough hours to worry about moisture in the oil. I haven’t had any moisture in the oil of my machine yet. I also haven’t bothered turning it off since last Thursday. I’ve been running two shifts in my shop to get some projects done. This little guy has yet to skip a beat.
I’ve owned all the different 80 gallons, a Ingersoll Rand is every bit the same piece of cheap shit as any other brand. I’ve been tearing them all apart and putting them back together for years. They don’t have the duty cycle to be able to hold to any kind of hard extended use. There made sit in the corner of the average Joe’s garage who never accomplishes shit and mostly lets it sit un used until there kid pops a tire on there bike. There’s a few 3 phase industrial units that are better. But nothing like the reliability that this little guy has given me. Belts still wear, compressor heads still wear out relatively fast, and the only thing particularly good on the 3 phase industrial units is the switch quality. I haven’t bought a new compressor that didn’t have the switch die in the first few months. Including this Eastwood. Single phase shit is cheap because they know if your committed enough to get a decent building you ain’t willing to work and regardless of the price point it’s just going to sit in the corner and waste away. A lot like your compressor you’ve had for 15 years……………. It still works, but when are you going to start?
Switch died first year. Didn’t bother with Eastwood as I could see the switch is a pile and didn’t want to waste my time getting another shitty switch. 3 years so far. All day everyday 6-7 days a week. Sanders, grinders, impacts, my mills. Other than the failed switch it hasn’t had a single issue. Which is significantly better than any piston driven compressor. In my home shop I have a piston driven 80 gallon and it’s just been ran into the ground and mostly just sits. I’ve yet to have a name brand or cheap piston driven get me through a year except this one I have in my home shop. And that’s because I just gave up on it. It’s not worth fixing but i only have my lathes in this shop and have been using a shop vac to clean up with instead of dealing with that shit. If anything I’d actually buy another one of these units since the piston driven sit is just so awfully unreliable trying to use it all day every day. I started on this journey buying my first compressor to replace my dad’s dead compressor when I was 17. I’ve been through one or two 60-80 gallon units a year until I bought the Eastwood unit.
Good for you. I've had mine for 10 months and it has pretty much died. Pressure relief valve never stops releasing air and unit gets very hot. It took Eastwood a week to get back with me and they still not have resolved the issue. This will be going in the trash soon. I will never buy another product from Eastwood.
This is is your pressure switch sticking open. The entire reason I replaced the switch with a beefier D-squared. Now I’m 3 years deep daily use no issues. These pressure switches were a problem on all the 60-80 gallon units before hand. But between, pressure switches, motors, belts, and dieing heads I’m done with that shit. I’ve yet to get a whole season out of a piston compressor.
I had to replace the pressure switch because the original was sticking which has also been an issue on all of my piston driven units I’ve bought new. After that this unit has ran day in day out in my shop for 3 years now. No issues. Best compressor I’ve owned so far actually.
12cfm so blasting is a yes but only small stuff. Any of your small cabinets it should be ok with. But if you start trying to up your nozzle sizes and get real coverage your not gonna have what you need. Air tools, sanders, smaller blast cabinets does great. I run my whole shop with this and run various sanders and other air tools all day everyday.
Gotta be able to get the parts to. The first failure was a short pinion that the yoke backed off and the pinion gear started to eat the diff. Pretty common on the older sterlings. This took 500,000 miles to accomplish. The second rear end i had the same short pinion problem and it was beat to shit and free99. This third rear end got thrown in with the disc brakes when I bought them and it had a posi and was new enough to be a long pinion. So I ran it. But the wheel bearing threads were trashed and the wheel bearing failed doing burnouts and when the spindle crashed with the hub the axle shaft split the spindle down the key way and snapped the shaft where it contacted the spindle. So I’m in the process of building housing #4 but for the first time with all brand new shit done right. Ha.
Ima put more content out on it. I got it and it’s just ran. So I started to daily this car. And I just love it dude. Anytime I don’t need to be in the work truck I drive the imperial haha.
Lets take a tour of Dennis Child's Top Shop. This is the coolest gearhead spot you've ever scene ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QLdsPkS9riM.html
@@scrapahaulik5893 I bought my first lathe at 17, then my first mill at 18. Been through a few since. I was always pretty dead set on owning a Machine/fab shop though. Now I’m collecting a lot of sheet metal tools and general fab stuff. Ha.
Just keep watching. We got more madmaxesque projects on the way. And a whole other channel that will be dedicated purely to wild mad max like vehicles.
Dennis likes to do all new and custom. I like to do a lot of custom but restoration comes with the game of dealing with old things. I got more videos coming on this build. I haven’t had much time to edit though ha.
Dude I’ve always had really good luck with euros. I heard some dumbass try to tell me some shit like “the Japanese over engineer everything, and the Germans will only engineer to minimum requirements and call it the owners fault”. Well I’ve got 16 years of studying lean manufacturing and trying to use all of these parts in extreme use cases. And I can tell you it’s the exact opposite. Tear down any honda or Toyota motor next to any BMW or VW engine and tell me which is engineered to last and which isn’t. My mountain bike has beefier timing chains than any of the Japanese Motors.
I love the euro stuff so much dude. Early Domestic I’m into. The fox body was the last of the mustangs, Chevy G-body’s were the last of the Chevy cars to care about much anything newer my opinion is it’s just junk. Use it, toss it, move on.
