Its back up to $199. $\:$$ Buy a Ingersoll Rand 231C online for a wee bit over $100 in the US. 10 billion times better then any Crappy Tire brand and works really well on compressors that don't have super high CFM (Most of the 20-30gal units you'll find in peoples garages) I've got a Snap-On IM6100 and while it's an awesome gun, it needs a big compressor. I barely pick it up now that I've got the IR. He isn't talking about air tools. I've got a 60 Gallon husky compressor in my garage...the mastercraft electric impact still gets used on the regular $;$$ Shit, I assumed he was talking about an air impact, lol. If I had a 60 gal, there's no way I'd be using a electric impact. Look up the gun I mentioned above, it's killer and cheap. _________________________ -Bill The GN would OWN you, your children and your children's children. '09 E90 335d

What about for us ballers with 60 gals ;)? I do want a "big bertha" of some sort.

What about for us ballers with 60 gals ;)? I do want a "big bertha" of some sort. Well you could probably get better throughput with the smaller compressors using 1/2in hose for example, but the god damn compressor would be running all the time. For the price I'd still run that IR 231C on a big tank.. There are nicer guns around (better IR's, MAC, Snap-On) but you'll pay a pretty penny for them. And if you aren't using it much, no point in dropping $400 on a better impact you'll use a few times a year.

zaius zaius Post Master Sr Registered: 04/30/05 Posts: 8591 Loc: Toronto	150 psi max tank pressure stores more air in the tank for longer tool runtimes 2.6 SCFM 90 psi allows for quick compressor recovery time 6-gal. pancake style tank for stability, includes water drain valve and rubber feet bah ha ha. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Porter-Cable-6-Gal-150-psi-Oil-Free-Pancake-Compressor-C2002/203162815 _________________________ 2003 dc5 typeS. looks stock.

loudsubz loudsubz Post Master Supreme Registered: 08/16/01 Posts: 11333 Loc: Ontario, Canada	remember all these ratings of CFM are what the air pump puts out, not what the standby cfm from the tank is. With that said your pancake compressor could run the same tools that run on 60 gallon compressors, the only difference is for how long. You also don't need huge tanks to be able to have long tool run. Those gas powered wheel barrow compressors do like 11-12 cfm because they have such good pumps. You could run a tool all day long off that, the only drawback is the unit would be running non stop since it would be powered 100% from the pump and not the reserve.

I drove on kumho 712s in the snow once...it was like driving on rims. No grip to stop, no grip to turn, no grip to even move. The slightest incline/decline had a great effect on the car. It was very scary and I was very retarded XD _________________________ http://dreamingin302ci.blogspot.ca/ XD XD XD XD

Violent Spectre Violent Spectre Post Master Supreme Registered: 09/24/02 Posts: 12386 Loc: Niagara Falls, ON	Last year it snowed the day before I was gonna swap, ZR rated tires = Nope lol. 50km/h on the hwy was scary lol and a slight bend in the road at 20km/h = car going straight. That's why I Swapped a little early this year, not doing that again.
