Just picked it up tonight. Was 699.00 and I talked them down to 622.00 out the door. Saved about 140.00!!!!! Actually said 600 OTD and we settled on 625.00

Manager WAS PISSED!!! As we were walking up to the register, he said "I don't get it, I don't walk into the Speedway and say come on, give me this pack of smokes for 3 bucks!"

I just said "Well, your dealing with 5 bucks, I'm dealing with 600. Cash at that"

So I walked out of Lowes with an 80 gallon compressor that had a 700 dollar sticker on it for 587 w/ tax 622 OTD!!!! Pretty proud of my self!

Nice job. Can I borrow it to paint my metro? I'm converting it to white. Maybe it will be a little cooler in the Texas heat. And I'll have to change my user name. Anyways, someday I'll save up for a real compressor. Just got a 6 gallon donut for now but it does the job for my nail guns.

Looks good. And good deal on it too. What's the max pressure and flow rating. 80 Gal is good storage capacity and when it's full you can probably run it for quite a while before the compressor has to run again. The flow rating is important if you plan to run things like sanders and other things that spin continuously for a long time.

Oh that things awesome. You sprung for the larger unit I see. You wont be disappointed. Congratulations. Don't forget the drain!

It's a max pressure of 155psi with 14.0 scfm @90psi. I think she's big enough to do almost everything I need.

Can't wait to get her up and running! Keep telling the wife I'll rotate her tires as soon as she's running. About the only thing of her's I'm allowed to touch anymore.

Cool!

Can I borrow it?

Nice! (Good Price on it too). Is She a Single or Dual Stage? You wont regret getting an 80 Gal either. I've been using a 80 Gal Ingersoll/Rand dual stage for approx the last 4 years....And wouldn't settle for any less now. Getting ready to move it into the new Garage were putting up as we speak (32'X32'). I'm running high pressure air line along both the L&R walls From the Compressor for a total of 4 air connections at different locations of the garage.

Yes, with those specs you should be able to run pretty much any air tool for a home shop.
