I really need to get me an air compressor, my shop vac just isn't as effective.
Make sure you get a decent sized compressor. We got a little 1 gallon in the shed and you get about 5sec of compressed air per recharge. Quite annoying when you are waiting to build more pressure to finish blowing out a case. Forget about running any impact tools with that small of a compressor as well. Electric impact to the rescue!
 
I had to buy a whole set of 8, got them at Ace... Most hardware stores should have them. I don't know if anybody sells just one, you'll probably have to buy a complete set...

Ok good, I was hoping it wasn't in like a 100 piece set, 8 I can do lol

That's something that I've been thinking about, my uncle has a small one and I talked to him about it and said I would be spending half of my time waiting for it to fill up.
 
An air compressor is only as good as the how much air and how quick. Two words, rotary screw

Oh I don't know... I have an old school twin cylinder monster that
Keeps up quite well with a 120 gallon tank... sometimes it's about how much you can store...

Our air compressor room at work has 3 huge rotary screw compressors and a storage tank that if my math is correct should be in the ball park of 2000 to 2500 gallons
 
You all have to remember I'm not familiar with a lot of mechanic terms, what is a rotary screw?
Its a type of air compressor. Instead of relying on a traditional piston to pump air up, it works like a supercharger. It displaces air rather than pumps it. In other words it creates air volume and pressure like right now, no waiting
 
Proud to be called a poulan guy--David--back from the swamp
Ive always poked at the Poulan guys. Usually David but he hasn't been around enough so I haven't had my arch nemesis lol. It's all out of love. Can't let everyone get by with life easy. And I don't think I've ever poked the person just their saws. I've had jokes but I try to keep it non personal :)
