Compressor issues

[sandyut]

Getting two busted up reels took the wind out of my sail on that idea. This is what I went with. Works plenty good enough for me. I made the coil holders so they are out of sight and wont get all janky from being stretched out like my old one.

Thanks brother!

Nice setup . Put in a switched recepticle for the compressor , and keep the hose on the right connected .
Flip the switch to start the compressor and pull the hose off the holder .

Dave , it's so nice now to walk out and use the air without having to get a hose out and put it away .
Put a switched outlet in the base cabinet , and leave the one hose hooked . Flip the switch and open the door and your're ready to go . Be even nicer to have a air chuck stubbed above the bench .
I'm just talkin . Should work great as is .

All good ideas. Feels like it took me far too long to get to this point. Im gonna take a little break from it for a bit. I do like your ideas for having it more at the ready tho.

At least monthly I power up my home shop air compressor for a 30psi car tire or a 85psi bike tire, or an impact wrench. But I was pretty impressed with how my son's battery-based torque wrench recently removed a 40yo stuck crankshaft bolt. I might re-think the need of a home shop air compressor. Mine's still working, but not sure I'd replace should it fail.

Our MTB's are tubeless, there is no way to get a tubeless tire to seal without a compressor (IMO).

That's how they seat beads on large floater tractor tires. Takes a couple cans of starter fluid

Blow one of those big tires with 8 ton of dry lime on, going around a terrace, with that tire on the downhill side! Deflates instantly and requires a shorts cleaning!
