Quiet Compressor
After having a oil less compressor in my shop for 15 years I thought the oiled Husky upright I replaced it with in 05 was quiet. I fired up my new 80 gal, 2 stage Engersoll Rand the other day and man it is quiet. Way less sound than the Husky. Now I can take the Husky to my cemetery maintenance shop and kick the old oil less off the proverbial cliff.

Re: Quiet Compressor
John, IR is really good stuff! For the record that's what we had in the USN.
I need to upgrade from my tiny thing soon too, (motor is almost drawing LRA when it has to restart).

Re: Quiet Compressor
Good morning John,
I'm glad to hear it! That's a beautiful machine you have, and seems like a wise investment.
I bought this USA-made portable compressor two years ago and love it, but I'm sure yours is quieter, and obviously yours is a large capacity machine!
Here's my little USA-made machine:

Re: Quiet Compressor
Jeff that is right, USN, I.R. Thanks for bringing back a USN memory
Robroy, that is a great looking machine you have there. I love the USA made stuff. I thought I.R. was USA made, Tank maybe. The motor says Mexico, and the comp. says India.
At least it is not from China

Re: Quiet Compressor
IR makes great stuff. A few months ago I bought a new IR 1/2 drive impact. The thing is super quiet and very strong. My 'new' compressor at my house is already on it's last legs I think. Guess I will have to step up and get a good pump once and for all, one that does not smoke I hope.

Re: Quiet Compressor
Congrats on the new IR compressor. I had my eye on a two stage one, until Management (the wife) saw the price tag. I wound up with a Craftsman single stage 60 gal upright. It is soooo much faster and quieter than my old Campbell Hausfield oilless there is no comparison. I may not have gotten the "Lincoln" I wanted, but the "Ford" is still a wonderful upgrade from before.

Re: Quiet Compressor
Robroy, those Thomas compressors are pretty nice little guys.
Ingersol-Rand is a European based company. Today IR pnuematic stuff is profit driven to sell to the masses. The HPACS and LPACS on my ship were IR. IR was a US company back then to get contracts like that.
Curtis, Gardner-Denver, Quincy, Worthington are names to keep an eye out for.

Re: Quiet Compressor
I have found that, "proudly built in the USA", doesn't mean all the compomants it is built with are made in the USA. Bottom line is, it is a great compressor, and I have always wanted one. Now I have one. I am with the Big 1. As I have named it.
It doesn't have to be USA made to be good. I just like to buy USA. Like a lot of other people from around the world. A person such as me, likes to support their own country. Proudly served, and I love the USA.
Off my soap box
