I own a senco for finish jobs, it holds up and definitely helps since it’s lightweight and quiet for quick jobs and doesn’t disturb clients. It’s all depends what you use it for.
@@ThomperBeThompin Yep, I got a small 2gal cheap compressor weighs about 15lbs and .7 cfm @90psi. That lil bugger works awesome for trim. If driving a bunch of 16ga in quick succession a guy can outrun it but still works pretty good at a normal pace. 18ga no problem. So easy to move around. I just set it in a closet or something and it's hardly bothersome. Don't even pull out the big 50lb beast anymore.
@@mrmotofy if you don't mind me picking your brain for a minute, what do you think of the battery powered nailers that are coming out? Think you would ever switch to something like that? I think they have one for a roofing application and some for brad nails
@@ThomperBeThompin They could work for trim...but I think I would just use a cordless at that point. But my lil $40 sale 2gal works awesome for trim. So small light and cheap drawing like 190w. So it runs anywhere even in my truck if I really needed to Roofing? I don't think they can keep up. Those guys I've heard use a LOT of air and are fast.
I just bought that same 8 gal. Husky. Haven't used it yet but now I'm reading bad reviews about I and having some regrets. What are your thoughts on the husk after you've had it for awhile? The issues I read about specifically are it doesn't refill and it trips breakers frequently
Mine refills just fine and has yet to trip a breaker. I've used this to fill up plenty of car tires, dirt bike tires, ATV tires, trailer tires and other small tasks. I have not used it heavy duty for grinding or with a nail gun or anything. So far so good but I'm just an average homeowner user not a tradesman using it everyday.
@jon mccarthy The only comparison here, which I mentioned in the video, is price. Obviously this video isn't intended for experts in the air compressor industry like yourself, rather, for people buying their first one and not wanting to spend a lot of money. Disappointing you has been my greatest regret, something I endeavor to never repeat again. Please deposit your thumbs down, and forgive my transgressions.
@jon mccarthy you make some valid points. That said, in my intro I definitely pointed out that these two do not directly compete on anything but price. In the future I'll try to be more clear about any potential product comparisons. Let's consider this hatchet buried. See internet? This is how it's supposed to work. Food for thought...
@jon mccarthy thank you! Ha I was about 1 minute into the video and read his responses .....I paused the video and I’m only taking the time to Thank you for stopping me from wasting my time with this review and search for another video that does a good comparison besides “price”.

I changed the coupler on my $99 Husky with a Milton V. Dewalt 3/8 rubber hose and an Iwata air gunsa for painting and it works well
Cut off wheels require a constant 100 psi the thing is look at your cfm when purchasing your compressor
Try out the Milton Type V high flow couplers and 3/8" hoses...they make a huge difference in cutting tools impacts etc
That's a really good point. Might be best to have both, one for mobility and finishing work and the other for the heavy lifting

@@ThomperBeThompin yeah me too. Thanks for answering and posting the video.
Where the heck did you guys find the husky for $90?..I’m looking for an air compressor
It was a holiday sale.
It's regular price is $129 now. Quite a bit more powerful than the pancake ones for the same price.
@@NickVetter where I Live it’s 289….
The Senco at .7 cfm will take FOREVER to fill a car tire. It all depends on your needs
Tried putting air on my bike and it doesn't want to release air
Nice video
Thanks!
Cool

why would you compare a 1 gallon to a 8 gallon?
You obviously didn't watch the video

Thanks for the comment!
Mine 8 gallon works but it doesn't throw air
This is really a test of the tank capacity, not necessarily the compressor
cool!
two different compressors for two different uses.
how do you add oil to that husky?
This one is oil-less
@@ThomperBeThompin lol..yes..found out after I dumped 1 qrt in there.. ;)
Got a husky sitting in my living room. My girlfriend said she paid $90. I'm not so share of it. I've never had less than 30gallons to work with.
