Bought one of those about 6 months ago.
I considered the oil-lubed Porter Cable job boss before, my friend has one of those and I customary it many times before, but the IR compressor is grand quieter and a puny bit lighter (makes a dissimilarity when loading and unloading from the truck) .
On the other hand, the wheels on the PC unit design it better if you need to carry it to some distance (which I normally don't need to do) .
Used mine mainly with my nailers (framing, effect and brad) but also with some high hasten die grinders and polishers.
While it does a pleasing job with the nailers it obviously isn't made to generate enough CFM for continous grinding and does need to recover every 30 seconds or so for a few seconds.
Whenever I worn it with a grinder it would be running for lengths of time with no complaints at all.
It worked flawlessly until some bastard decided to consume it from my job space, I'm going to remove another one of those without a second thoght.
HTH!
Running several framing crews with larger units, we always have a need for smaller units for punchout work. Impulse units simply cost too grand to operate on status all day (do the math) .
Setting the unit up you can easily urge 2, even more nailers on this pump. The pump size and volume is what is necessary not objective the size of the tank. It does no proper to have a 60 gallon tank if it occupy an hour to recover (had this proplem with other smaller pumps like Bostage) .
All said and done spacious shrimp pump very actual unit. My oldest one is 8 years traditional.
Some retailers will claim this unit is made in the US...it is actually made in Italy. (And very poorly at that...)
First off, the compressor arrived with no fewer than three air leaks. The dual quick-connect fitting, and both drain cocks, were installed with NO tape or dope. Worse, once I re-installed them PROPERLY, one of the drain cocks was next to impossible to halt completely, and the other could not be turned tightly enough to completely cessation it off, including with a wrench.
So I called IR customer service (1-800-SERV-AIR) to order replacements. While on the phone, I asked the tech about the claimed 100% duty cycle. Turns out it's nowhere even arrive that! He said that if the compressor cycles more than 7 times an hour, it is considered abuse.
SEVEN TIMES AN HOUR?? That's roughly two pin nailers! Must be Ingersoll has a different definition for 'duty cycle' than the industry standard. Interestingly enough, it is only the marketing materials which say 100%...it is mentioned nowhere in the owners manual.
And finally, because the unit was intended for the European market, the regulators are primarily denominated in bars, not PSI. The PSI scale is the inner reading (mediate km/h on a US speedometer), and is very difficult to read snappy.
Bottom line...rep something else. You can regain a great better unit for mighty less money. Apparently Ingersoll has gone the 'value engineering' route, and that's a shame.
