Thank you! I picked up the same compressor and had a low car tire ..Took nothing to bring it up to pressure...Thanks for sharing the use of the Nail Gun. My old Compressor out of the early 70s still runs ..Pumped up kids inner tubes and bicycle tires through the years ... So to the top of the hill my old Compressor compressor goes w a free sign on it. Thanks again ..Strait forward video..
I have the same one. It's great for a small shop and DIY'er like myself. I use it for bike tires, car and truck tires around the house brad nailing stuff. No issues with it for a few years now.
Yes, it does work great for those things. I did just try to use it on a metal cutoff tool, and it didn't have the capacity for that, but I am happy with it overall.
Brake rotors? I'm not sure what air tool you would need for brake rotors. If it is an impact wrench, it would probably be OK. It gets up to 150psi, the same as larger capacity compressors. The peak pressure just doesn't last as long. If you are trying to use something like a grinder or cut-off tool that use a high volume of air, they won't run very long before you have to stop and wait for the compressor to build pressure again. This little compressor is good at being portable for small jobs (nailer, tires...)
If you set the pressure regulator to the desired pressure (say 35 psi) for the tire, you will not over inflate the tire, but it will take a long time to reach 35 psi. I usually set it to 10 lbs or so over what I want the pressure to be. That way it starts slowing down as I reach the desire pressure, and I can be more accurate. The higher you set it, the faster the tire will inflate. Just make sure you are monitoring the pressure in the tire, so you don't over inflate.
You probably have tankless air compressors, typically used for inflating tires, basketballs, air mattresses, etc. Air compressors with tanks are used when you need a high volume of air flow (air tools, etc).
Thank you!

Will this work well on taking rotors off?? No issues?

I know the main tank is 150 PSI what do you set the pressure at to fill a low tire? Thanks.

Thank you so much for the info!@@TheFixitShed
Too bad mine did not come with any accessories
That is unfortunate
Why do my air compressors look nothing like yours? I don't think mine have a tank. Do they all have a tank that should be emptied?
