[supercharged turbo]

I rather buy them things new.If/When it does start to give trouble atleast I go know all de problems.I doh trust people to buy them things used.

[X_Factor]

make sure and get double piston
ask those tire shops what they use, some of them re-sell as well last i check was 700.00
low profile, double piston 3.5T

Pricesmart has a Ford twin piston jack. Can't remember price but saw it up to yesterday.

[Sanctifier]

I got this beast a couple weeks ago.

Damn nice compressor. How much are these going for these days?
I just missed the smaller QT5 as a "double deal" when I bought my Kellog 5 hp unit.

Are you using individual water separators... an aftercooler... or a refrigerated air dryer to get dry air?

I bought one about 7-9 months ago. Use it a couple times a week. Going Strong just wheels. Paid almost 1k. It's a low profile jack but not for slammed cars. Low cars like civic and thing is no scene. Slammed cars just roll up on two blocks. Usually 2 1x4 stacked sideways

Bought a portable band saw, dunno how I never bought one before
Cuts cleaner and faster than angle grinder without the noise and dust.

Allied had some cheap table saws for whoever interested

Looking to get an electric pressure washer very soon for home usage. Browsed through the thread and saw that persons had issues with Karcher and AR Blue.

Any recommendations on a reliable brand and model?

Thanks

[X_Factor]

have a karcher from hadden and that get real licks still going strong
its the highest psi available in electric...2200psi or around there i think

[cinco]

Tbh just buy gas. Forget electric

If you are going to buy a gas powered model , then try to get one that has a brass pump , as these stand up better than the cheaper aluminum pump , check by trintrac for one of their honda powered units or by ssl or farfan for the MitM models , trintrac have the better ones though.

allied had some 1600psi black and decker for just about 1k, and a roll behind model karcher for about 1k as well, has foam gun tip ect, but the cool part about this is that this pressure washer can use water from ponds, barrels ect. doesnt need to be forced fed if u understand what i ment.


but Currently im looking for a impact gun 3/8 drive, something pretty good, like IR

Besides SSL where can i purchase one of these? im liking the astro nano too

[jones81]

I think that edoo's in sando might have a line of pneumatic tools , or Tool house Duncan village , I have a friend who is a striaghtener, and he has one of the astro orbital sander, it made from plastic so it light, but dat ting does sip air and is powerful, he have a small 1.5 hp compressor dat does keep it happy , when he was using the other more expensive brands sander, those things needed plenty of scfm , I think he bought it from one of those paint shops in penal area, Toolsie maybe, if you get one let us know how it works.

This unit goes for 22K.
I am using an individual water seperator, no aftercooler or air dryer.
I did the plumbing using 3/4 schedule 40 galvanized pipe. I don`t get any moisture once it reaches the water seperator most of it goes back to the tank which I drain daily.

[Ted_v2]

What you doing with such a big unit?
sandblasting?

Re: the Karcher model... was that recently? That's actually not sounding like a bad deal

[pugboy]

that rolling karcher sounding too cheap, lol
I bought one from ramlagans and it was a little more
the karcher is pretty good and highly reviewed on amazon

those standup electric pressures washers are pretty much all the same junk.......

[shaneelal]

Leaning towards electric.
Will check out the Karcher in ramlagan.

[Ted_v2]

actually i think i made a mistake with the price, theres a washer for under 1k 1600psi but its a black and decker thats for sure, i think the karcher is almost 1500$ i might be going tomorrow or so, need to get a pry bar set, a 1/2" air hose 20ft long and a impact gun.

[neexis]

$1500 still not bad if it coming with those attachments and could use water from a bucket. I mostly considering it for car care and maybe small yard work. Nothing more intense than that

Finally!

[neexis]

Finally!

Nice. I seeing an auxiliary handle there so I guessing some good torque!

Ended up going with a Bosch
