This was the most informative videos I've ever watched.. and the organization and functionality of that closet is a work of genius!!
I use it for construction & works great
Excellent review! All I need to make sure this air compressor performs well with the tornador
I bought mine 2 weeks ago, finally tried it out this past weekend. I let the tank fill up and set the output to 90 psi. When I used the gun and the tank would refill, the output psi was no longer at 90 but either higher or lower between 70-100 psi. Went to ask the “experts” at home depot and they said I need a bigger compressor for detailing (no help)
Great video I got one on facebook marketplace for $140 love it I installed wheels thanks for the info 😊
That’s a great idea!
I use this compressor for all my mobile detailing jobs. Honestly it works ok i find myself having to wait for the compressor to catch up with me working with my tornador
Excellent presentation. I live in Calgary; would this compressor function in my unheated attached garage in the cold winter months ?
Thank You! Generally the ideal operating temperature for air compressors is between 10C - 25C. If your environment is not within this temperature range I wouldn’t recommend using your air compressor.
I bought this compressor recently and finally used it with the tornador. I have the output psi set to 90, use the tornador gun, tank refills but then the output does not go back to the 90 psi, it is either higher or lower (70-100) even with the regulator knob locked in place. Not sure if it’s user error or not since it’s my first time using a compressor and tornador combo but I’m following the instructions on the manuals. Any of my fellow detailers using this combo that has experienced this?
@DetailProjects How loud is it in db? This really looks nice and compact. Also, where did you buy your cabinet?
The air compressor is 77db, and it’s much more quiet and most air compressors. The cabinets and the air compressor are from Home Depot. It’s the Husky storage system they sell.
@@DetailProjectswhy use a 3/8 air hose vs a 1/4 air hose?
More airflow, plus it was really hard to pass on their sale price.
@@DetailProjectsThanks. I was afraid my 1/4 hose wouldn’t do the job. Thanks for the response.
Great video, would you ever recommend buying a used version of this air compressor, I saw one local to me for half price but it’s used. Or would having the peace of mind of having the Home Depot Ridgid warranty by buying new?
Thanks! In my opinion it’s best to buy new for peace of mind and warranty, just like you mentioned.
@@DetailProjectsthanks for the input. I agree, new would just feel good and who knows how the previous owner took care of it and probably never drained. Do you empty and drain your unit each time?
I do, and it’s best to always keep your drains open at all times when you’re not using the air compressor. This prevents corrosion.
Now to wait for that great sale at Home Depot 😅😅😅
It's at $350 now
Definitely a nice piece. I’ve got a 20 gallon that is also 4 cfm @90 psi. 150 max psi & 1.5hp. But it’s much larger, it is nice and quiet though. I like your Rigdid because of its compact design & plenty of power. Great video.👍
How do i get this to italy? There is nothing compared to this here, the ones that compare are larger and way expensive
Hello. How long is your air hose? Do you find that the longer the air hose the more you lose power?
You don't lose power with longer hoses.
Sorry maybe I missed it but how long can you use the tornador for before it needs to be recharged?
Typically you can use the air gun for around 20 seconds before the air compressor kicks in, however with this air compressor you can still keep using your air gun while the air compressor is filling back up. You don’t necessarily need to wait.
Is it possible to expand the tanks with a larger external tank?
Yes
It is back to 448$ at home Depot in Canada which is crazy so if you're in the market then you're better off waiting for it to come down in price.
Just bought it 299 but it was late December with a promotion
Out of stock in Illinois
349 right now
Link for the air hose reel ?
To my knowledge they sell this reel in Home Depot stores only
How tall it's?
19” tall
