Harbor Freight 5 Gallon 225 PSI Fortress Air Compressor 

They just dropped the price to $300. I’m not sure if that’s a bad sign or a good deal 😊

@@FunkFPV 🤔

I had the small one used it daily it broke after year than I bought this one , bought extended warentee and been going couple years . They’re nice and quiet but never last like a standard pump and motor compressor. Like you said we not using as much like when all out tools were pneumatic 😂 a

Actually I’m sorry I have the medium maybe 2 or 3 gallon , this is larger of the fortress I probably get this one next

Dam 300 not bad , I paid 2 something for one alot smaller

I appreciate that!

Same here and any extra information given about tools Even if it seems like it might be obvious information about how to use it or how it operates is always appreciated 👍

Agreed ❤

What plasma cutter. I just bought the yeswelder cut55ds pro and was considering this for a mobile weld/fab set up

I see them used a lot to run air nailers. You can also use them for air brushes. I know a dude who picked up a 1 gallon fortress a few years ago to paint his model planes with.

Handyman/carpenter here. I use a 3 gallon for running the occasional nailer. Only needed for nailing 2-3 boards. Might get a 1 gallon or switch to battery nailers. Definitely think alot of air tools are becoming obsolete with all the cordless stuff.

My 5 gallon is basically just for blowing stuff off in the machine shop. Especially getting the glitter out of my hair before the sweat drips it into my eyes and turns them magnetic. It also sees occasional use for inflating car tires and running finishing nailers.

​​@@xcal_99_industries32 the Cordless ones are a LOT bulkier and 5 times the price.

🤘🏻 😁 🤘🏻

Same here. I thought it would’ve emptied that tank a lot quicker.

I feel like I babble too much but I’m trying to review and educate at the same time 😁

@@FunkFPV Your doing great man I appreciate your content it’s always funny and informative 👍🏻

*124,594125l/min

*5,1510989bar at the regulator; 4,46428571bar at the impact gun; 9,525mm lines; regulator set to 6,18131868bar

Ya those 1-10 gal tanks are good for blowing stuff off, filling tires, and maybe a nail gun. Except maybe a roofing gun where you shooting nails almost constantly. Any constantly running/high flow type of air tool like a drilln grinder, impact, etc. I say minimum of a 30gal to have enough volume to efficiently and effectively run tools like that. If it requires 90psi to run for more than a quick blast, def min of 30. In this vid, that IR impact was probably only get 50-60psi. If it was gettin a constant 90psi it would blasted that lug off damn near instantly. But, most guys are running cordless for stuff like that these days. Especially mobile guys

That is incorrect. SCFM stands for standardized CFM. It's a MASS flow rate. It enables you to properly compare 2 different compressors from the same manufacturer or from any manufacturer that uses the same standards. CFM is a measurement of volume. However, the actual amount of air present in a given volume changes with temperature and atmospheric pressure. Basically, SCFM is CFM measured under standardized conditions, which actually allows an apples-to-apples comparison. The only problem is that the standard temperature and pressure used for this aren't exactly the same worldwide. They are, however, generally pretty close.

Doing these for money would be like a job. I already have one of those 😊 RU-vid pays enough to make it worth my while.

My favorite part. 😁😁

More so standardized, so you can’t fudge the rating by using funky air temperatures or static pressures.

And they don’t say what the “standard” conditions is 🤷🏻‍♂️

I worked on those back in the early 2000’s

Well, it’s either he bought that for me, or have an excuse not to blow off forklifts 😜

I was all most all pneumatic until a few years ago. You can’t beat the convenience of cordless on the road.

I'd argue if it's a workshop, stationary setup, pneumatic is great. Anything else, cordless is really nice. I'm working what is essentially a mobile mechanic setup, love cordless tools

It looks like that to me too! The bit should cut through aluminum better than that

Haha I think that was the frame rate of the camera that made it look like that

From my experience 3/8 pneumatic impacts are dogs. Check out The Torque Test Channel. He’s shown some budget friendly 1/2 battery powered impacts.

I keep the truck running when I’m using it. That pretty much goes for any inverter. There’s just not enough power in a automotive battery to do any real work.

It’s not bad for that. You got to let it catch up after a while if you’re really giving it.

I actually took it out of a van nobody was using. I can’t say much beyond it seems to work 😊

*9,463575 liters

After the regulator......full tank pressure is 200 psi. With the acetone fully saturated.

Think of it this way, 1/2 is actually 4/8, so a little bigger than 3/8.

😜👍🏻

My shop guy called dibs on it 😁

@@FunkFPV shit

Nah, Maybe some time in the future but I need a lot of computer upgrades.

It’s 3kw at 120 volts. That’s about 25 amps output on the AC side. That compressor probably pulls 10 amps
