TrailMart is anti-toyota....they copy Marlins stuff and FabTechs and whoever else builds something cool and puts their name on it :rainbow:
I'd rather spend more than buy from there. Search on por and I bet you'll change your mind.

I hardly drive my truck anymore, only when it's wet or I need to pick something up. I think I've put close to 700 miles on the bike since I've had it, so that's 700 miles I've saved from my truck, and parking is a helluva lot better.

Anyone have any experiences with these crafstman compressors? I kind of bought it on a whim, like the bike, but I read a couple of good reviews about it. The tank is big enough that it should handle any kind of work I want to do, short of sanding, and I'm not sure how long it would be able to support a drill.

I dont keep my bikes super clean. The chain drives kinda suck cause the rear tires get oiled pretty well if you oil your chain right.

The compressors I have the same one. Its great. I run the hell outta mine. Its just noisy. Thats the only thing I dont like. Keep the tank drained and it will be fine.

6.4 scfm @ 90 psi

deffinitely not the quietest, but I have an outlet right outside around the corner, so when I'm going to be using it for extended periods of time in the garage, I can just wheel it outside and be golden

already played around with it and broke free 2 bolts that an 18" breaker couldnt touch

yea I had seen some posts about them on TTORA, so I dont know. I did want to build my own sliders anyway, and feller said he might bring some tools up for a while, so we'll see.

scfm means caca! Why didn't you go for an oil less compressor?

whats the difference?

it is oil-free

edit
Just looked up scfm vs cfm, so scfm is just at a standard temp/pressure? all teh units i looked at were measured in scfm, so, is there a conversion or something? not that i really care, as long at it can run the tools i want to run

hmm, apparently I read wrong in another forum according to this website. I read a couple weeks ago scfm was static cfm. Glad I looked it up again. I also googled it and said the same thing.

Sorry I meant why didn't you look at cast iron, oil lubricated compressors. I'd return that one and get a cast iron one unless you got a good deal. I can actually carry on a conversation with mine running. They also last longer and are rebuildable.

It is not the oil-less feature that makes that thing loud. It is the direct drive. In general, the cast iron, lubricated, belt drive are the longest lasting compressors. That being said for normal every day use what you bought will work just fine.

The oil-less has a diaphram in it that can wear out faster than a cast iron cylinder/piston combo. As for breaking bolts loose, get a good impact gun, mine sucks, I need one with some balls. Even with my 19 CFM @ 90psi super compressor, if you have a crap impact it sucks!

you can use it to convert to cfm i think...

looks similar to my air compressor before I started the "upgrades"

It'll only get louder then stop building pressure over 60psi

Its no good for anything more than impact and sockets.

Paint gun and sander are way out of the question

scfm means standard cublic feet per min

cfm is cubic feet per min

same ****

go back to your chem class Standard temp and pressure bull**** same ****.

you are wrong about the oil less compressor part too. Your compressor has valves this compressor has a diafram valve thats what makes the noise. Both can be oiless.

Mine will run a right angle sander just fine. Same compressor

Yes, I said I was wrong about the scfm and posted a website about it.

I was just generalizing oiless compressors to be noisy, I wasn't getting anal about it.

All I was saying is if he didn't get a good deal on it, to think about returning it and getting a cast iron, belt driven compressor. On the sears site, it seems like the compressor he got was $298. I'd much rather have this one for another $80

Home depot has an upright similar to that one for the same price.

Hell for $430 this one seems pretty damn good.

**** Trailcrap. All it is that ***** Chris Gieger jumping ship from one toyota vendor to another, stealing thier ideas and claiming they're his before moving on. Now he's taken it to trailgear, who business practices and customer service are so bad that it makes all-pro seem like model citizens. And the only reason TG can sell so cheap is because alot of thier crap is made in china.
