Compressor recomendations
Posted by espins1 on Friday, February 25, 2005 10:05 PM
I'm looking to get a compressor to replace using these pain in the butt cans of compressed air. What would you all recommend for below $180?

I just bought my compressor for the same reason but the jury is still out on results. I spent about $100 for the compressor, connectors, and regulator filter(moisture trap) all from Harbor Freight tools. The kicker here, though, is I wanted the compressor to run a small nail gun as well which this one does. All parts use quick-disconnect style which is great. I'll report back after an actual airbrush test hopefully tomorrow.

Michael's has a 40% off coupon in Todays paper. It would be a good time to check out
thier compressors in the airbrush section. Maybe its time to buy this week.

Loki, the coupon sounds like a great deal, but it's not always the case. I bought a Badger AB from Micheal with the coupon, later found that I could have got it way cheaper from a host of online retailers.
