Pan this air compressor is a beast. I've had mine for a little over a year with zero issues. For all viewers that are looking for a quality compressor to get the job done, this is it. They go on sale often at home depot.
You're definitely a handy guy: using car related cleaning stuff inside and outside the house; talking about connections for hoses and pressure washers; speakers and theaters sound setup and dampening inside garage; having a dream garage with shelfs and cabinets on the walls... list keeps going Pan. You're PanDaddy! Great video again. I liked the editing after you said home.. Home Depot. Not really trying to give them a shoutout but also had to tell your viewers the truth haha. All love man.
Thanks for watching! I’ll take the compliment of you thinking I’m handy. Perhaps I don’t give myself enough credit hehe. For me handy is being able to build a house from scratch somehow haha. Or do any form of construction work. Which I know nothing about.
I also laughed at the editing around home depot. I mean yeah, he got it from depot, but seeing as it's now in his garage.... he is technically getting it from home, right?
I may have missed it in the video, but a very important detail is the duty cycle of this unit. Rigid recommends 5 minutes of run time followed by 5 minutes off for a 50% duty cycle. It can obviously run much longer, but it will shorten the life if you ignore the duty cycle. I have a Tornador at home and this seems like an excellent unit to buy for my occasional use, as well as tire pressures, air gun, or in general compressed air through a nozzle to clean something out, but for the professionals they should keep duty cycle in mind. I'm guessing they have their Tornadors running for much more than 5 minutes at a time without giving the compressor a break.
Fantastic point I will make sure to do one section a seat or a seat a floor section then vacuum and rotate to keep the run time lower. Thanks for the head up
I have cooked all the other harbor freight pancake compressors in my van but got the most life out of the craftsman but the price jumped from $99 to $160 so I purchased the 6 gallon rigid pancake and honestly cooked it in a week or two in the back of my van. Preformed proper break in on all the units and release pressure. Going to try this unit buying tonight. Hope this one holds up.
This is an excellent point. This is one reason why I had to upgrade. Sadly I bought a quiet 20 gallon compressor with low PSI and SCFM rating. I will be buying a different one again because once you get addicted to the tornador, 5 mins of continuous use is not enough lol
100' hose : learn from my mistake. Bought a like-new 100' hose, thinking it was a good deal. Long hoses are difficult to manage and store, of not on a reel. Lesson learned! 50' is plenty for the average weekend warrior. Merci Pan!
After researching air compressors and owning several for welding and sandblasting. Here's the downlow. I call it the rule of 5. SCFM is a measure of how much air the compressor pulls from the atmosphere. To know how much air flow is going to your tool, devide by 5. Based on that, you quickly see that each true CFM being delivered to your tool costs $500. You need to run a 3cfm tool. Expect to pay $1500 for the compressor that claims to have 14-16 scfm. Most everything else ( PSI, horsepower, duty cycle, oil less, tank size ect. ) Only affects longevity of the compressor.
Ah thanks man! I appreciate the support. I spend four hours every day personally replying to UA-cam comments so it’s nice that you guys appreciate the efforts. It does get overwhelming as you can imagine with 800,000 subscribers sending me thousands of messages daily, but I try my best to stay close to my audience. And you’re right. No other big detailing channel does this. 😁👍🏻
Thanks Pan. I always thought Air compressor setting up and working with it is too cumbersome and all available videos were complicated it. This is simple and spot on.
Sir, According to the responses on the Home Depot page for this item, all compressors purchased after FEB 2022 of this model come with Free Parts and Service for Life with Registration. That is a huge advantage. I am replacing Ridgid batteries and tools purchased from 2004 because of their lifetime warranty coverage.

Thanks, @Pan The Organizer, for this helpful video. I like the way you covered all aspects of how to operate the air compressor. I would like to see videos where you demonstrate use of the air gun while detailing, where you discuss different options for putting the air compressor somewhere convenient (wall mount with hose reel, cart mount), where you talk about how long you can run the air gun and the impact of the compressor's refill cycle, and what tools other than the tornador you like to use (and where).
I had heard that a 30gal was the minimum size needed or you would run out of air all the time. I'm familiar with the rigid one because I use it at work. The rigid compressor is more in line with my budget and space. Thanks for the great content Pan.

@@PanTheOrganizer I have a French Canadian neighbor who saw me detailing my Chevrolet SS sedan and suggested I look at your videos. Hes a great friend so I took his advise and have enjoyed your channel every since.
Nice video Pan and I ran an air compressor for about 15 years of similar size. I am looking forward to watching you use the air compressor as you always have useful tips and tricks. Thank you for the video.
@@PanTheOrganizer Pan I used Hitachi when I bought it new. Back then I used it for installing hardwood floors and the compressor held up well. The regulator finally went out last year. I did realize to detail professionally an air compressor with a much larger tank is required because a tornador will quickly empty a four gallon tank.
Pan, thank you so much sir! I recently purchased that air compressor, but had no idea what hose/ quick connect I would need. I’m sure the answer was quite easy to find, but after searching a ton on UA-cam all I could find was reviews on the compressor / tornador, so to have the specs of what I actually need was awesome! Thanks again!

Yes Pan, what a cool review on this little compressor I love those awesome features you pointed out, it's makes detailing so much enjoying, struggling with hoses that are kinked or waiting a long time for the compressor to fill. Thanks Pan keep them coming💫👍🏻
Hey Pan, great video!! Can you do a video on chrome wheels polishing/maintenance? I have OEM chrome wheels on my 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn and I’m not sure what products to use to polish them.
For drying, when would you use compressed air versus a blower? Have you considered doing a comparison of handheld and wall mounted blower? When each is appropriate. Basic leaf blower to higher end. As always, appreciate your thorough, honest reviews.
Great video!! I was trying to find a video like this that included what other items that you needed to use the compressor. Do you have any recommendations on other pieces needed to inflate car tires and also air guns to blow things out. Thank you.
@@HalifaxTintPlus Yes the small 5 gallon one. It has pretty good pressure. It will run out of maximum pressure pretty quickly though if it's in constant use. One of the downsides of it only behind 5 gallons. It's a really nice small compact unit though.

Great content Pan, with water always accumulating in the tanks under pressure would you recommend a water and filter discharge adapter before it gets to your tools you use.
Hi Pan, even though, as a weekend warrior, I don’t need a big compressor, your video was still interesting to watch. Could you do a video on home water filtering systems, (If you haven’t done a video already!)? I don’t mean the all-singing and dancing systems which filter all the water as it comes into the house, I mean the stand-alone small tank systems where you buy the resin separately and which connect to your hose or pressure washer and is only used for the final rinse. Thanks
That’s the compressor I use. I got it because it was the only compressor near the scfm that Tornador recommends at the price point. Doesn’t have the longest run time but I can still run tools while it runs.
@@detailspots you should be able to get decent run time without waiting. You would have no problems doing a whole door or so at a time. Probably couldn’t go around the whole car at one time though.
Hey Pan, I got this compressor as a gift and plan to use it with detailing. I don't have a hose just yet. I noticed you use a ⅜" hose but Ridgid one in the description is ¼" will I still get optimal air flow for tools like the Tornador?
Hey Pan…. I love your content. But when are you going to come out with your own products? I know some company has tried to get your name on the products. I will be your first company if you do!!😎😎
Thank you so much Panjust barley subscribe to your channel keep it up!🔥🔥🫵I been looking at a lot of different ones as a detailer this will be my first time buying air compressors with a tornador and with all those attachments makes it a lot easier!🤙

Do a comparison with the California air compressor or another compressor that’s kinda equal to the ridgid. My Ridgid just went out yesterday in the middle of a job. It lasted about a year 1/2.
I was searching for an affordable air compressor to run my Tornador. Your timing for this video was perfect for me. Could this compressor be mounted vertically on a wall or does it need to remain horizontal? Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thanks James! I don’t know if it can be mounted vertically though. Perhaps reach out to Ridgid directly and see what they say. If I had to guess, I would say no, as the drain valves are beneath the tanks and if you mount it vertically it might prevent correct access to those.
Great video Pan! Please do a video on the new Tornador MAX. That looks so interesting and love the swivel connection on it! Just curious if that connection will fit a Euro Flow connection that I bought from OG. Its a Prevost S1 Euro connection. Will industrial fit Euro? If not, can the swivel on the Tornador Max be made with a Euro connection? I bought into Matts philosophy from OG with more air flow with Euro and now it seems nothing fits Euro.
No it won’t fit the Euro high flow connections. It’s a standard 1/4 inch quick connect on the Tornador Max. You will see a video soon on Tornador tools on my channel. Stay tuned! I have the Euro high flow connectors on my FIAC WallAir air compressor which I reviewed here: ua-cam.com/video/ocwoIr5Ysrs/v-deo.html
Love your videos man! I’m about to start my detailing business very soon and I appreciate some helpful videos I find when I need some assurance on certain things, I wanted to ask what do you think about the 6 gallon rigid air compressor instead of the 4.5 since it’s $200 cheaper
The 6 gallon version wouldn't be a good choice for detailing in my opinion, as the Ridgid 6 gallon pancake version only outputs 2.6 SCFM at 90 psi, compared to the more expensive 4.5 gal unit which has an air delivery of 5.1 SCFM at 90 psi which is needed for higher requirements of tools like the Tornador. SCFM (not the regular CFM rating) is key when selecting an air compressor, and you want at least 5 SCFM at 90 psi.
Highly appreciate the feedback!!! Is that the only air compressor you’d recommend for the tornador? If so I trust your word for it and I’ll get the rigid 4.5
Hi Pan. A very nice and clear explanation of your recommended air compressor. I recently needed to get a new one and opted for a Husky 30 gal 175psi. My old 20 gallon lasted 25 years. If I may HIGHLY RECOMMEND something is that when shopping for a compressor get the quietest one you can find. This Rigid one that you have here is 77 db which is excellent. You might not think that it matters but believe me it really does. I chose 30 gallon over 20 (my old one) and am extremely glad I did. I also chose to have 2 hoses, one 25 footer and one 50 footer. It’s easier to maneuver a shorter hose. Most of the time I only use the 25 footer. I consider an air compressor a “must have” for detailers, especially if doing interiors. Again Pan, great video. 😀👏
Awesome video Pan that small air compressor is great for the pros and the DIY and the price tag I will pick up 2 off it lol 😂 Ridgid always make good entry level tools and it’s very easy too operate 2👍👍up to Ridgid Pan I really enjoyed that video much love ❤️ enjoy your evening buddy haha 🤣👍👍👍👌👌👌💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏
This compressor is amazing I use it daily for about a year now and not a single issue. It used to be $229 last year and is now $350 here in the states that’s the only down side to it.
Detailer here out of California hoping to get some help! Currently have this air compressor and have an air hose reel and tornador and love how it performs! My question is, i am considering getting a another air hose reel and tornador so my employee can use one at the same time as me. Will they still both perform well or what do you guys think?!
Hehehe I'm sorry but I wasn't aware of your channel. But I checked it out now that you mentioned this, and you seem to be doing some cool things so I highly encourage you to keep doing what you're doing, stay consistent, and spread the love for detailing man! :) How did you discover my channel by the way? And where are you from?
Bruh $599?! 😳 Wish you timed how long the run time is at 90 psi before the compressor turns back on to recharge( hold the trigger on the toronador tool and time it). Also what compressors are you referencing when you say that they take 5 to 10 min to charge?
I was looking into compressors and up comes this video! Nice timing. Pan question i watched your koch chemie video recently i was wonering it is safe to just spray and pray and agitate the soap on the engine bay? iI dont want to mess up cars from the soap doing damage to parts of car...

@@PanTheOrganizer btw I'm expecting to see that tornador in action. I bought one for my needs now this video abot this compressor came as strawberry on top of the cake 👍
I don’t blow dry my car using an air compressor, as I have car dryers for that task. But if you were to use a tool, set it to what ever max pressure it recommends.
I hear great things about this. I'm currently using a Goodyear 8 gallon. Does this 4.5 gallon fill up quickly? I feel like in detailing we use alot of air sometimes. I have felt like I'd love to get a 20 gallon because of this. But I'm interested in a minimal set up.
It will turn on for sure while you are using power hungry tools continuously for sure. There are limits to what 4.5 GAL will do. It’s always a compromise of size vs performance. If you have the budget and space for a bigger air compressor, by all means go for bigger. Welcome to my channel.

Hello Pan, when running a Tornador Max, should the air compressor have an air filter, an air dryer and an oil filter? Or are those more needed if someone wants to run pneumatic impact wrenches, air sanders, etc.? Thank you sir!
Hello Pan. Is this compressor still working fine running your Tornadors? Just hoped to het an update on how the Ridgid was working for your Tornadors. I was planning to get a 29 gallon McGraw but if this is working fine for you, probably will go with the Ridgid instead.
Would there be any harm using air compressor like this one be used to blow out excess water left on the grill, mirrors and wheels after towel drying? I am considering this over a handheld dryer to increase versatility.
For the exterior, a handheld dryer is a better option. Using the air compressor is more for the interior, where you'd combine it with tools from Tornador. See my video: ua-cam.com/video/UPjFPdaAEj0/v-deo.html
Hi Pan, thank you for this review!! I am looking for a compact air compressor ... this might be it ... one question though ... is it strong enough for an impact wrench? I need something that is for tornado and other tools as well as for the impact wrench ... thank you!
I don’t use impact wrenches but from my quick research it seems most impact wrenches require approximately 5 CFM @ 90 psi and this air compressor can handle that no problem. So my guess is you should be fine. But double check your impact wrenche’s requirements to make sure.
What about generator which one you recommend to pair with this compressor or is it best to just use extension cord . Do customers care much if you use their water or electric

Great video Pan, I bought the rigid last week and finally tried it out with a tornador this weekend. However I’m not sure if I’m using properly. When I regulate and lock in the output gauge and it refills it changes to a different number either higher or lower than what I set it to. Is this normal? Anyone that can help? I’m not sure if it’s user error as this is my first experience with a compressor and tornador gun.
Hard to say as I don’t see what you are doing. One thing I remember is follow the instructions in the manual to a T as it can be complex to operate an air compressor the first time with a new unit.
I followed the instructions on the manual.When I used it on the weekend, I let the tank fill up. I set the output regulator to 90 PSI and locked it in place, then began using the tornador. The compressor would then refill as normal, but once refilled, the output PSI went up to 100, or another time was at 75. @@PanTheOrganizer
thanks I was looking for which air compressor was better ridgid, California or from harbor F?? I have a small van and the 20-gallon van that I have takes up a lot of space.
For a deeper clean, Xpress. It also does leather. For a light clean, and especially on piano black gloss surfaces and also infotainment displays, Gyeon Interior Detailer is the one to get. Hence why I have many products in my arsenal. I pick what I prefer for a given surface or task.

@@PanTheOrganizer thanks bro I appreciate your efforts......just came across this channel today trying to find more information about air Compressor
Pan this air compressor is a beast. I've had mine for a little over a year with zero issues. For all viewers that are looking for a quality compressor to get the job done, this is it. They go on sale often at home depot.
Thanks for sharing your experience Nick!
I've been waiting for 8 months. No sale yet.
@@akiralee1192 black Friday usually, I think fathers day as well which is around the corner
You're definitely a handy guy: using car related cleaning stuff inside and outside the house; talking about connections for hoses and pressure washers; speakers and theaters sound setup and dampening inside garage; having a dream garage with shelfs and cabinets on the walls... list keeps going Pan. You're PanDaddy! Great video again. I liked the editing after you said home.. Home Depot. Not really trying to give them a shoutout but also had to tell your viewers the truth haha. All love man.
Thanks for watching! I’ll take the compliment of you thinking I’m handy. Perhaps I don’t give myself enough credit hehe. For me handy is being able to build a house from scratch somehow haha. Or do any form of construction work. Which I know nothing about.
I also laughed at the editing around home depot. I mean yeah, he got it from depot, but seeing as it's now in his garage.... he is technically getting it from home, right?
I may have missed it in the video, but a very important detail is the duty cycle of this unit. Rigid recommends 5 minutes of run time followed by 5 minutes off for a 50% duty cycle. It can obviously run much longer, but it will shorten the life if you ignore the duty cycle. I have a Tornador at home and this seems like an excellent unit to buy for my occasional use, as well as tire pressures, air gun, or in general compressed air through a nozzle to clean something out, but for the professionals they should keep duty cycle in mind. I'm guessing they have their Tornadors running for much more than 5 minutes at a time without giving the compressor a break.
Fantastic point I will make sure to do one section a seat or a seat a floor section then vacuum and rotate to keep the run time lower. Thanks for the head up
I have cooked all the other harbor freight pancake compressors in my van but got the most life out of the craftsman but the price jumped from $99 to $160 so I purchased the 6 gallon rigid pancake and honestly cooked it in a week or two in the back of my van. Preformed proper break in on all the units and release pressure. Going to try this unit buying tonight. Hope this one holds up.
@@JacobSmith-yh1sz Did you end up buying it? If so, how is it holding up?
This is an excellent point. This is one reason why I had to upgrade. Sadly I bought a quiet 20 gallon compressor with low PSI and SCFM rating. I will be buying a different one again because once you get addicted to the tornador, 5 mins of continuous use is not enough lol
what do you recommend then ?@@Danny-xj5ts
100' hose : learn from my mistake. Bought a like-new 100' hose, thinking it was a good deal. Long hoses are difficult to manage and store, of not on a reel. Lesson learned! 50' is plenty for the average weekend warrior. Merci Pan!
What ever length works for you 👍🏻
After researching air compressors and owning several for welding and sandblasting. Here's the downlow. I call it the rule of 5.
SCFM is a measure of how much air the compressor pulls from the atmosphere. To know how much air flow is going to your tool, devide by 5. Based on that, you quickly see that each true CFM being delivered to your tool costs $500. You need to run a 3cfm tool. Expect to pay $1500 for the compressor that claims to have 14-16 scfm. Most everything else ( PSI, horsepower, duty cycle, oil less, tank size ect. ) Only affects longevity of the compressor.
Pan, you keep outdoing yourself; excellent and timely review. You are a detailer’s best friend.
Thanks I really appreciate it!
Great demo pan... ive been looking at this unit but know nothing about them.. thanks for making it simple for me
😁👍🏻
Awesome video like always Sir Pan. BTW Pan is the only detail UA-camr that actually responds to comments. Your the best!! 🚘
Ah thanks man! I appreciate the support. I spend four hours every day personally replying to UA-cam comments so it’s nice that you guys appreciate the efforts.
It does get overwhelming as you can imagine with 800,000 subscribers sending me thousands of messages daily, but I try my best to stay close to my audience.
And you’re right. No other big detailing channel does this. 😁👍🏻
Thanks Pan. I always thought Air compressor setting up and working with it is too cumbersome and all available videos were complicated it. This is simple and spot on.
Great to hear!
We just purchased this for our mobile detailing / garage detailing setup! 🔥
Good choice!
Fantastic video. Tons of questions answered. Super valuable. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Sir, According to the responses on the Home Depot page for this item, all compressors purchased after FEB 2022 of this model come with Free Parts and Service for Life with Registration. That is a huge advantage. I am replacing Ridgid batteries and tools purchased from 2004 because of their lifetime warranty coverage.
If I turn on the Ridgid, then load it with air at home and take it with me for a mobile detail. Do I need electricity to run it?
Yes you need constant power.

Thanks, @Pan The Organizer, for this helpful video. I like the way you covered all aspects of how to operate the air compressor. I would like to see videos where you demonstrate use of the air gun while detailing, where you discuss different options for putting the air compressor somewhere convenient (wall mount with hose reel, cart mount), where you talk about how long you can run the air gun and the impact of the compressor's refill cycle, and what tools other than the tornador you like to use (and where).
Thanks!
I had heard that a 30gal was the minimum size needed or you would run out of air all the time. I'm familiar with the rigid one because I use it at work. The rigid compressor is more in line with my budget and space. Thanks for the great content Pan.

I have purchased one of these compressors this weekend . A bit of an upgrade from my small Craftsman unit. Thanks for the suggestion 👍
Great to hear!
great video pan! with this exact setup, how many minutes does the air last while using the tonador before the compressor needs to refill with air?
He should add it video !
I just bought the Kobal 26 gallon quiet compressor for my detail shop, it's working out great for us.
Nice video Pan and I ran an air compressor for about 15 years of similar size. I am looking forward to watching you use the air compressor as you always have useful tips and tricks. Thank you for the video.
Thanks Neil. What brand and model air compressor were you using?
@@PanTheOrganizer Pan I used Hitachi when I bought it new. Back then I used it for installing hardwood floors and the compressor held up well. The regulator finally went out last year. I did realize to detail professionally an air compressor with a much larger tank is required because a tornador will quickly empty a four gallon tank.
Pan, thank you so much sir!
I recently purchased that air compressor, but had no idea what hose/ quick connect I would need. I’m sure the answer was quite easy to find, but after searching a ton on UA-cam all I could find was reviews on the compressor / tornador, so to have the specs of what I actually need was awesome!
Thanks again!
👍🏻👍🏻
I've had good success with Ridgid products so far during my detailing career. Great review on a quality air compressor! These are full of value.

Hey Pan, great video!!
Can you do a video on chrome wheels polishing/maintenance? I have OEM chrome wheels on my 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn and I’m not sure what products to use to polish them.
Thanks! If I get enough viewer requests for such a video, I'll look into it for sure.
For drying, when would you use compressed air versus a blower? Have you considered doing a comparison of handheld and wall mounted blower? When each is appropriate. Basic leaf blower to higher end. As always, appreciate your thorough, honest reviews.
For drying an entire car, I prefer a car dryer or leaf blower, like in my video about car dryers here: ua-cam.com/video/4up2Atg4ks0/v-deo.html
Great video!! I was trying to find a video like this that included what other items that you needed to use the compressor. Do you have any recommendations on other pieces needed to inflate car tires and also air guns to blow things out. Thank you.
Looks like a great unit. I like that it has dual inputs. I have a small California Air Tools compressor that is really quite!
Hi D&D , r u talking about 5 gallons one ? Isn’t enough pressure ?
@@HalifaxTintPlus Yes the small 5 gallon one. It has pretty good pressure. It will run out of maximum pressure pretty quickly though if it's in constant use. One of the downsides of it only behind 5 gallons. It's a really nice small compact unit though.

So sad. Theres no way to get these Ridgids here in Germany. Are there any other good options in europe?
Great content Pan, with water always accumulating in the tanks under pressure would you recommend a water and filter discharge adapter before it gets to your tools you use.
Hi Pan, even though, as a weekend warrior, I don’t need a big compressor, your video was still interesting to watch. Could you do a video on home water filtering systems, (If you haven’t done a video already!)? I don’t mean the all-singing and dancing systems which filter all the water as it comes into the house, I mean the stand-alone small tank systems where you buy the resin separately and which connect to your hose or pressure washer and is only used for the final rinse. Thanks
I already did here: ua-cam.com/video/IKNL1chAQXY/v-deo.html
That’s the compressor I use. I got it because it was the only compressor near the scfm that Tornador recommends at the price point. Doesn’t have the longest run time but I can still run tools while it runs.
Correct. Good bang for buck.
how long can u run this compressor with tornador tool and how long before it fully charged to be use again?
@@detailspots once you start going you really don’t have to stop for it to charge back up. Only takes maybe a minute or two to get fully pressurized.
@@ethanblan435 but can i use tornador max constantly, without waiting for tank to pressurized?
@@detailspots you should be able to get decent run time without waiting. You would have no problems doing a whole door or so at a time. Probably couldn’t go around the whole car at one time though.
Your follower from algeria 🛑
Thank you for all your benefic videos
Thanks!
what type of exension cord will be ok to handle it and outdoodrs? by the way, i really enjoy your Vids, they have helped me a lot!!
how long does the air last for at 90 psi with the tornador
What size of pressure washer hose and air hose would you recommend? Should it be 1/4” or 3/8”?
Hey Pan, I got this compressor as a gift and plan to use it with detailing. I don't have a hose just yet. I noticed you use a ⅜" hose but Ridgid one in the description is ¼" will I still get optimal air flow for tools like the Tornador?
Yes.
Hey Pan, awesome video as usual. Approximately how long before the air runs out and it turns on while using the tornador or air blower tip?
I don’t calculate that as it depends on your use and how trigger happy you are… but a few minutes. And it refills super fast.
Hey Pan…. I love your content. But when are you going to come out with your own products? I know some company has tried to get your name on the products. I will be your first company if you do!!😎😎
Perhaps one day! 😁
is there a belt? Im debating between this and Dewalt.
Hey Pan will you consider reviewing the Hyundai air compressors if you have a chance. Was wondering how they compare to models like the Rigid.
Thank you so much Panjust barley subscribe to your channel keep it up!🔥🔥🫵I been looking at a lot of different ones as a detailer this will be my first time buying air compressors with a tornador and with all those attachments makes it a lot easier!🤙

Do a comparison with the California air compressor or another compressor that’s kinda equal to the ridgid. My Ridgid just went out yesterday in the middle of a job. It lasted about a year 1/2.
I was searching for an affordable air compressor to run my Tornador. Your timing for this video was perfect for me. Could this compressor be mounted vertically on a wall or does it need to remain horizontal? Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thanks James! I don’t know if it can be mounted vertically though. Perhaps reach out to Ridgid directly and see what they say.
If I had to guess, I would say no, as the drain valves are beneath the tanks and if you mount it vertically it might prevent correct access to those.
Great video Pan! Please do a video on the new Tornador MAX. That looks so interesting and love the swivel connection on it! Just curious if that connection will fit a Euro Flow connection that I bought from OG. Its a Prevost S1 Euro connection. Will industrial fit Euro? If not, can the swivel on the Tornador Max be made with a Euro connection? I bought into Matts philosophy from OG with more air flow with Euro and now it seems nothing fits Euro.
No it won’t fit the Euro high flow connections. It’s a standard 1/4 inch quick connect on the Tornador Max.
You will see a video soon on Tornador tools on my channel. Stay tuned!
I have the Euro high flow connectors on my FIAC WallAir air compressor which I reviewed here: ua-cam.com/video/ocwoIr5Ysrs/v-deo.html
Love your videos man! I’m about to start my detailing business very soon and I appreciate some helpful videos I find when I need some assurance on certain things, I wanted to ask what do you think about the 6 gallon rigid air compressor instead of the 4.5 since it’s $200 cheaper
The 6 gallon version wouldn't be a good choice for detailing in my opinion, as the Ridgid 6 gallon pancake version only outputs 2.6 SCFM at 90 psi, compared to the more expensive 4.5 gal unit which has an air delivery of 5.1 SCFM at 90 psi which is needed for higher requirements of tools like the Tornador.
SCFM (not the regular CFM rating) is key when selecting an air compressor, and you want at least 5 SCFM at 90 psi.
Highly appreciate the feedback!!! Is that the only air compressor you’d recommend for the tornador? If so I trust your word for it and I’ll get the rigid 4.5
Super compresseur je valide Pan
;)
Hi Pan. A very nice and clear explanation of your recommended air compressor.
I recently needed to get a new one and opted for a Husky 30 gal 175psi. My old 20 gallon lasted 25 years. If I may HIGHLY RECOMMEND something is that when shopping for a compressor get the quietest one you can find. This Rigid one that you have here is 77 db which is excellent. You might not think that it matters but believe me it really does. I chose 30 gallon over 20 (my old one) and am extremely glad I did. I also chose to have 2 hoses, one 25 footer and one 50 footer. It’s easier to maneuver a shorter hose. Most of the time I only use the 25 footer.
I consider an air compressor a “must have” for detailers, especially if doing interiors.
Again Pan, great video. 😀👏
Thanks Chris!

This compressor is amazing I use it daily for about a year now and not a single issue. It used to be $229 last year and is now $350 here in the states that’s the only down side to it.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Detailer here out of California hoping to get some help! Currently have this air compressor and have an air hose reel and tornador and love how it performs! My question is, i am considering getting a another air hose reel and tornador so my employee can use one at the same time as me. Will they still both perform well or what do you guys think?!
Dang Pan! I can't even get a shout out for covering it first? Sheesh ;)
Hehehe I'm sorry but I wasn't aware of your channel. But I checked it out now that you mentioned this, and you seem to be doing some cool things so I highly encourage you to keep doing what you're doing, stay consistent, and spread the love for detailing man! :)
How did you discover my channel by the way? And where are you from?
Bruh $599?! 😳
Wish you timed how long the run time is at 90 psi before the compressor turns back on to recharge( hold the trigger on the toronador tool and time it). Also what compressors are you referencing when you say that they take 5 to 10 min to charge?
Hi!
He comprado este Ridgid pero tengo una duda ya que lo uso con tornador y el Ridgid se enciende constantemente ¿es normal?
Hi, is it the size of the hose matter? 3/8 or 1/4 is better? Thanks

Excellent video Pan!!! Quick question, what psi would you set for blowing out the car with a standard air gun?
I don’t blow dry my car using an air compressor, as I have car dryers for that task.
But if you were to use a tool, set it to what ever max pressure it recommends.
@@PanTheOrganizer I use a sidekick blaster for the exterior. I was talking about the interior carpets,seats, etc.
Another awesome episode of Pan the Organizer..lol
I hear great things about this. I'm currently using a Goodyear 8 gallon. Does this 4.5 gallon fill up quickly? I feel like in detailing we use alot of air sometimes. I have felt like I'd love to get a 20 gallon because of this. But I'm interested in a minimal set up.
It will turn on for sure while you are using power hungry tools continuously for sure. There are limits to what 4.5 GAL will do. It’s always a compromise of size vs performance. If you have the budget and space for a bigger air compressor, by all means go for bigger.

Hello Pan, when running a Tornador Max, should the air compressor have an air filter, an air dryer and an oil filter? Or are those more needed if someone wants to run pneumatic impact wrenches, air sanders, etc.? Thank you sir!
Not needed for Tornador tools.
Hello so I may have bought the wrong air hose. I bought a 1/4 hose with 1/4 couplings. Is a 3/8 air hose better then????
You’re fine
Awesome video/product review good friend. Funny I have this 1 since 2012.still going strong. Great tool and price is good as well
Hello Pan. Is this compressor still working fine running your Tornadors? Just hoped to het an update on how the Ridgid was working for your Tornadors. I was planning to get a 29 gallon McGraw but if this is working fine for you, probably will go with the Ridgid instead.
Yup it works fine for me. I don’t use it on a daily basis, but it’s always there when I need it.
Dang I can't even get a shout out for first to market with this compressor from 2 years ago lol.
Would there be any harm using air compressor like this one be used to blow out excess water left on the grill, mirrors and wheels after towel drying? I am considering this over a handheld dryer to increase versatility.
For the exterior, a handheld dryer is a better option.
Using the air compressor is more for the interior, where you'd combine it with tools from Tornador. See my video: ua-cam.com/video/UPjFPdaAEj0/v-deo.html
Hi Pan, thank you for this review!! I am looking for a compact air compressor ... this might be it ... one question though ... is it strong enough for an impact wrench? I need something that is for tornado and other tools as well as for the impact wrench ... thank you!
I don’t use impact wrenches but from my quick research it seems most impact wrenches require approximately 5 CFM @ 90 psi and this air compressor can handle that no problem. So my guess is you should be fine.
But double check your impact wrenche’s requirements to make sure.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you, Pan! 🙂

Hello Pan, un compresseur de compétition pour un détailer au TOP, merci pour cette présentation 👍👍👌👌🙋♂🙋♂
How many decibles?
77 dB
Great video Pan, I bought the rigid last week and finally tried it out with a tornador this weekend. However I’m not sure if I’m using properly. When I regulate and lock in the output gauge and it refills it changes to a different number either higher or lower than what I set it to. Is this normal? Anyone that can help? I’m not sure if it’s user error as this is my first experience with a compressor and tornador gun.
Hard to say as I don’t see what you are doing. One thing I remember is follow the instructions in the manual to a T as it can be complex to operate an air compressor the first time with a new unit.
I followed the instructions on the manual.When I used it on the weekend, I let the tank fill up. I set the output regulator to 90 PSI and locked it in place, then began using the tornador. The compressor would then refill as normal, but once refilled, the output PSI went up to 100, or another time was at 75. @@PanTheOrganizer
My compressor cannot charge to 200psi and it does not turn off. Could you help me
Did you try reaching out to the brand's customer service?
thanks I was looking for which air compressor was better ridgid, California or from harbor F?? I have a small van and the 20-gallon van that I have takes up a lot of space.
I haven’t used the others. But if you do a UA-cam search for compressors that mobile detailers like, this Ridgid often comes up.
so nice.can it be use to spray paints like antirust
I don’t do spray painting so you would have to see if it meets the pressure requirements of your tool. Most likely yes.
Can you do a review on the Tornador Z-011 foam gun
If I get enough viewer requests for it, I'll look into it for sure.
Hey Pan what interior cleaner is better p and s express or gyeon interior cleaner the one with the blue liquid
For a deeper clean, Xpress. It also does leather. For a light clean, and especially on piano black gloss surfaces and also infotainment displays, Gyeon Interior Detailer is the one to get.
Hence why I have many products in my arsenal. I pick what I prefer for a given surface or task.
What is the duty cycle for this compressor ?
anyone know what compressor ridgid uses? looking to build a custom setup for unrelated uses but I need that high psi.
Teflon goes on Clockwise but in Canada, it might be the opposite?
I never get an official answer on that. Some say clockwise, some say counterclockwise.
