I finally upgraded my compressor. I got this for $380 on sale from $559 and could not resist. I would of preferred a 120 volt unit but this thing will be awesome for my plasma cutter.

The successor (DXCM602) is $1100 at Home Depot as of October 2022, and sadly as others have pointed out, the USA sticker doesn’t always mean much these days.
I have old car audio equipment from 2001 that shows ( Engineered in USA, Made in China). Now we see made in USA with imported materials. Quality is not the same on many products. I still cant believe how this unit went from 380 to 899.
@@cutweldngrind - If you think _that's_ bad, I just saw today (I think it was Eastwood air compressors) where it said "Made in U.S.A.... with *Global* Materials". 😆😂🤣
your cat likes DeWalt 🐈 he was admiring it
I saw this compressor during black Friday and it was like $500+. Cats are really curious and probably thought compressor was a huge banana.
Great video sir. Just got the craftsman look alike. Was looking for info on the valve size I needed. Appreciate you
I think any 60 gallon compressor would be a nice addition to any garage. I'm hooking up a 60 gallon Husky with a Eastwood sand blaster right now. Thanks for stopping by.
*This does exactly what I was wanting **MyBest.Tools** Price was fantastic, lower than Harbor Freight-and it included hose and attachments, and IT IS MADE IN AMERICA, unlike Harbor Freight*
I bought the same compressor from TSC and I love it.
Mine has worked great. I had one small issue which was the bolt on the large pulley came undone and the belt slipped off. I also added an extended drain kit to make draining the tank easier.
Texas State Center?
@@ZR1Terror Tractor Supply Company
I got the same compressor. I love it
Things getting expensive lately, $900 today so that's $520 more than what I paid. $380 was a bargain now that I see todays prices. Great compressor for sure.
I turned my pressure down to 130 psi,, it cut my tank fill time down almost 2 minutes,, will extend pump life and I will never need more then 130 psi,,,and I put a 1/2 roll of copper tubing between the compressor pump and tank drops my temperature by 70 degrees and eliminated the water forming in tank that comes the 200 degrees air entering the cooler tank causing condensation. I've found it the best setup I've seen..l have drops with drains but hardly ever get any water in them since doing the tubing..
I never thought about dropping the pressure down. I only run my plasma cutter on my compressor and one works at 40 psi and the other at 80 psi. I bought a cooler for my older 30 gallon unit and would be a good addition to any compressor. I currently run a 50' hose to a water separator to let the air cool down but the way you mentioned is more efficient. I may try dropping the pressure this week and checking into adding a coil of copper,. What length is the coil you used 20', 50'. Thanks for the tips.
@@cutweldngrind 25 foot,, 1/2 inch and put a water separator just before it enters the tank,, really makes a difference,,as with lowering the amount of pressure your pump has to pump,, 20 psi can save to years of wear on your motor and compressor.
Thanks for the video!
Glad you liked the video.
Good review
Thanks!
anyone who doesnt think theres inflation i just bought a dewalt 30gal 175psi 120v compressor and it cost $725.
This inflation is no joke. I remember debating if I should buy at 380 and glad I did.
@@cutweldngrind you made out like a bandit
nice hope it's still goin strong for ya.
It's been working great and mostly used for plasma cutter. I went to Tractorsupply and it cost $699 now. The only issue I had was the pulley coming loose due to a loose bolt. Works great and my first compressor over 30Gal.
Man ! That is Loud, sounds Iike my old Campbell H
It did not sound loud at first but then I heard a compressor 4x the price and was way quiter. The compressor in the Shed so the sound is minimal at my work area. Thanks for watching.
It 80 decibels
My old man just got one from Tractor Supply for 300 brand new out the door. He hasn't hooked it up yet thou. He is hoping it makes a great one. He doesn't buy allot of DeWalt n has heard only a few stories on the air compressor. But you can get bad ones n for only 300 n a 2yr warranty on the pump n a 1 yr on the rest isn't bad at all.
Please subscribe to enter upcoming giveaways. I think the compressor will work fine for him. Mine is still sitting outside but will be putting into my shed soon. I own lots of dewalt tools because they have served me well over the years and this compressor is replacing my old Husky compressor of 20 or 30 gallons. I mostly use a compressor for a plasma cutter but want to paint some stuff later and might sand blast. Thanks
TRS now asking 749!
You will need an oil separator to paint some types of paints or you're going to get fisheye in the finish. That's what initiated the oilless compressor trend.
wish i could find it at that price.
I wish I could use it more but I am on hold financially due to this Covid19 pandemic. I cant even work on my truck due to all this rain we been getting lately. Thanks
@@cutweldngrind yeah I know the feeling... This outbreak has put a stop to alot ..
I have pretty much the same compressor, just different colour and mine was a triple piston cast iron pump. Do your self a favor and remove the drain screw and put in a high quality 90 degree Ball valve with a hose connected to it. Weather here goes from very dry to very humid and sometimes I get A Lot of water from the drain, hose to a bucket keeps your shop clean.
The first upgrade was a stainless steel drain extension as the original one is just trash. My previous compressor also used 3/8" ID stainless fittings. The compressor works great for my plasma cutters and these compressors are around $700 now. Thanks for the tips and for watching.
Now you can power up a big sandblaster.
I haven't sand blasted before or know what to look for, Specification wise. I want a small cabinet to do small parts so I may look into a made in China unit.
Was this compressor really only $380 bucks??? How? With a coupon or something? I can't believe it. I just found this model at TS today that's what prompted me to research it here on youtube. It is now $719.99 as of 02/06/2022...............
The prices have gone up like crazy. I went to TSC on a Friday and they had a neighbors sale going on think it was 15% off and Dewalt had a sale that same weekend and with both discounts it came out to the $380 price tag. I should of bought 2 compressors as I liked the smaller Dewalt that's on wheels.
@@cutweldngrind I got mine for $599 at TSC in January 2019.Had a $200 discount wit ha new credit card so it dropped to $399 which is almost as good as your deal. I luv the compressor only problem was the drain valve broke few days ago..
@@OutBoardTink62 Compressor price is around $700 now and first upgrade was the drain valve extended kit. The Compressor has worked great on my plasma cutters. Drive belt did come loose after screw came off the wheel so verified all bolts and nuts. I got my TSC credit card 2 days ago which means more tools.
Drain is Up is open Down is closed. It’s got a rubber washer that stops the air from exiting hence down is closed.
Thanks, please subscribe to be entered into upcoming giveaways. I still get confused on the valve but I'm about to install a ball valve and extend it to the edge of tank. I have not really used it but I couldn't resist the price of compressor. Thanks again.
Jorge Serna You got it bro, looking forward to upcoming content.
What kind of Oil did you use to break that DeWalt in? I used air tool oil drained 2 times at 17min mark flush, fill, and repeated then I flushed the reservoir on our air compressor until it was clean of oil. Then I filled it up with 5W30 Full synthetic motor oil and 150 hour+ later it's still looking clean and running smoothly. Thanks for sharing.
It actually ran fine through the break in process on the oil that was placed into it. It's a synthetic oil just cant recall which one it was but I will order more to swap break in oil out. I just ordered a pressure regulator today and waiting on some fittings so I can use it again. I have so many projects but so little free time.
How many SCFM at 90psi? Where did you purchase it, at that price?
awesome video thank you, would you recommend this for mechanic shop for air tools
Its a great compressor but some may think its loud but should work on some tools fine. I also noticed its gone up in price lately.
You out to put an 90° with a ball valve at the bottom to bleed the water so you don't have to mess with that brass bleeder screw.
I ended up buying an extended Dewalt drain kits at Tractor Supply for under $15. MY old Husky I added all Stainless steel hardware. Having the extended drain is way better than the small bolt used as a drain. Thanks for watching and sharing that information with us.
Nice.
Thanks. No matter what I do I can not start on my dozer build but keep watching your video and just day dream about my dozer lol.
I hardly ever mess with it these days. I have to many other hobbies to mess with.
Wow would love to buy that for 400.00 or less every where I check is about 1000.00 nice price you got that for a steal
Thanks. I have only used it twice but it's an awesome unit. I wanted to build me a shop but the economy messed my plans up.
Here in canada i paid 1300 on sale
ball valve handle is reversible
I just picked one up at Tractor Supply, but guess what they cost now...$680!
I managed to get mine for $630 but sounds like the price has gone way up. Most likely due to Covid.
I cant believe the prices I have seen on everything lately. I went to eat yesterday and the menu stated prices have increased due to inflation. Things are getting expensive even lumber is still up there in price. Well the compressor works great and one of my best purchases.
I just bought a smaller Kobalt on sale for $349. It was $209 two years ago when I started looking at it. But then we had gas under $2.00 for 4 years and now it is almost $4.00 and my groceries are already 30% more than all of last year...
$913 out the door now.
due to inflation from printing trillions for laundering through ukraine to go back into the politicians pockets in offshore accounts, not due to covid
Where can I get that deal !
It has the labels applied in the USA. Everything came from China. Good luck.
That reminds me of my old car audio gear. Engineered in the USA and made in China.
That's a nice beast right there... Do you ever sand blast?
Sand blasting is something I want to try. I may try looking into a small Harbor Freight unit to get started on small parts. I need the space and that is why I been thinking on building a shop but $$$ is a problem lol.
I hear you brotha👍👍
@@cutweldngrind I use a 2 HP/ 10 Gallon for sandblasting. I don't recommend it. I can do small parts, but something like a car fender, takes HOURS!
How long does it take to fill up all the way
@@marloflores8325 6 minutes from 0psi to 155psi .
I am still debating on changing my channel name because it will delete all my comments. There is so much info in these comments. I may change name these upcoming days.
On the large aluminum belt wheel there is no groove for the belt to ride in, have you had any issues with belt alignment,wobble? Thanks
I wish I knew how many hours it's been running but zero problems so far. I placed it in the shed to keep it out of the rain and sun and has been working great. I need to take a look when it runs to see if it wobbles.
@elroy elroy I had a husky with chinese made motor ,lasted 13 years under medium use.Copper windings finally came loose.Sold the tank for 60 dollars,a guy built a killer barbeque out of it.I ended up buying a Compressed Air Systems compressor ,based in Mansfield ,Texas. I love it. Heavy duty.They have some videos on you tube,but they do not advertise at all,its bizarre.they go to trade shows,thats it. I looked at northern tools house compressor,the husky, many of the compressors under 700 price use the same Marathon motor now.
Mine lasted 8.mo..sad..going with American iron..saylor- beall..best money spent..all cast iron pumps..will cost 3 thousand..but il never bye a nother...80 gal.tank..plug and play..220volts..come fully loaded..
I had a few small issues with mine but dont use it much beside plasma cutting. I had the pulley and belt come off before and the breaker opened up 2 times this month. I hope it last a long time other wise I have a new smoker project.
$380???? How the heck did you do that?
TractorSupply had dewalt products 20% off regular price and that day was neighbors night. Neighbors night gave an additional 15% discount from 5 to 9 PM, savings was 35% off of $560....About $196 saved off regular price. I was lucky because I had almost purchased it weeks before.
How long did it take to refill?
I cant remember the time it takes but to me it seems very reasonable. I will need to test it out and give an update on my next videos to have an accurate time.
What company did buy for 380..here in sc its about 549
This was a sale at Tractorsupply. They had neighbors night and think its 10 or 15 percent off plus Dewalt had a sale that same week. I just used it this weekend on my flat bed and it's nice compared to my smaller Husky compressor.
Where do I find this compressor
Edward Violet Tractor supply has these compressors. I just got one yesterday for $834.00 out the door. TSC was asking $899.99 for it but l saw 3 drops of oil under the compressor pump, l looked to see where it was comming from but l saw no oil leak on pump anywhere else. TSC had only that one and my 3 hp. Ingersol Rand comp. doesn't put out enough air for my use, l decided to chance it and l showed the mgr. the oil. She said Dewalt in putting oil had spilled drops on it. She said if l wanted it she would give me a $50.00 discount and if it leaked anymore to take it back and they would refund money or order me another one. When all the paper receipt was done the total was $834. incl. taxes. I was discounted more than $50! I think it was more than $100. So far l haven't seen any more oil leak. My Ingersol Rand , 13 yrs. Old still works great. But l should have gotten the 5 hp. as at the time they the 3 hp cost $499 and the 5 hp was only $100 more. The Dewalt should be an awsome compressor. Thank you Lord.
Hi. I have a compressor equal to that and I have a doubt about the electric connection has to be with that same colors that you used red with black white with black and green is that I have an extension 10/4 red, black, green and white
I cant really help you since I am not to familiar with 220v. I knew my compressor had 2 hot wires and a ground so I wired plug as it showed.
@@cutweldngrind hello I have that same compressor I have a 10 30 amp cord and when I turn it on it takes about 1 minute to start voting for smoke and it gets hot which recommends that I take it to the store for change
I am thinking about getting one this weekend is it still holding up and have you used air tools with it ?
I have only used my plasma cutter, paint sprayer and a bedliner sprayer. I think it's a great deal especially when on sale. It's less noisy than my Husky 30 gallon but haven't compared to other more expensive units that claim to be very quiet.
You will need a regulator as they dont come with one but Ebay has some good deals on 1/2npt inlet/ outlet ones.
Issues I had was the belt and large pulley fell off. Easy fix apply thread lock and check over bolts.
If you have any other question let me know.
Issues
@@cutweldngrind Thank you very much for the information 👍
What weight oil do you use in the compressor motor?
30w non det, semi synthetic
It's not made in the usa.. All parts are manufactured in china. Then it is assembled in the u s a so they claim it's usa. I had it for 8 months worked perfect.. Then The belt kept coming off after two months. The motor stopped working after eight months. Belt replacement is extremely hard there is no part number. So you have to go out and find one. They did not honor any Warranty
Maybe the sticker is made in the USA lol. I had my belt come off due to loose bolt and been working fine since. I went to Tractor supply and was shocked with todays current price.
My husband has one like the video and the tank on his gets very hot to the touch. Do you have any idea why?
I would not be sure unless it's running for extremely long period. I use my compressor for the plasma cutter but my compressor dont run to long. The tank will get warm but not hot.
Those plugs are awful if you need to use them on occasion. Mine disintegrated after like 10 uses.
My compressor has been doing ok since purchased. I did replace the drain and had the pulley come off one day. I do use the compressor often and so far so good. I suggest checking bolts and screws often.
13.4 SCFM at 40 PSI and 11.5 SCFM at 90 PS is not CFM that tools are rated at. You are not getting even close to that flow rate at the tool it self. SCFM is the rate at witch the air is compressed into the tank. The CMF at the tool is massivley lower. Check this video out. th-cam.com/video/cfjSm_ieRkE/w-d-xo.html your ratings could actually be down to 4.5 to 6.5 area.
Thanks. I learned something new today.
@@cutweldngrind SCFM in my heyday work as auto body repairman was called Service Cubic Feet (air output per) Minute. It is the actual air output you are using as you work. It's the actual way of finding the correct compressor for your needs. Some air tools require more air than others to operate efficiently. One shouldn't go by just CFM only , cause it's allways higher than what you will actually get. Nowadays the S is sometimes called Standered.
tractor supply has it for 449 for this year black friday sale if anyone wants one
How do you get the discount?

NO WAY YOU CAN GET A BRAND NEW 60 GALLON DEWALT COMPRESSOR. THEY START AT $699 AND $899 AND WAY HIGHER AT Home Depot. BUT OF COURSE YOU WANT PEOPLE TO WATCH THIS VIDEO SO YOU CAN MAKE MONEY FROM TH-cam. SO A FULLY UNDERSTAND YOUR TRUE MOTIVE TO POSTING $380 DEWALT COMPRESSOR.
Are you ok? I am not here to clickbait or to trick people into watching my videos, look at the upload date. If you think I make a living off TH-cam you are incorrect.
@@cutweldngrind I just bought one of these. 5 hp 60 gallon. $899 at Tractor supply. the 3.7 HP is $699. there are no cheaper units. Home Depot is well over $2000 on both of these units.
What kinda Twilight Zone are YOU people in? I see in quite a few comments where they got this same air compressor for $630 bucks..... or the OP got his on sale for $380..... And @lindaferrell said they got their's from Tractor Supply for *$300 out the door* (3 years ago). (???) The current price for these (the equivalent new version of this one) is *$1,209* and Lowe's, though you can find one *"cheap"* for *$966* at Lowe's. Man!!.... That "inflation" thing I've been hearing about is a b%tch!
I got a second one used for about $80 at the same store about 1 or 2 months ago. Inflation is really affecting a lot of us and things have doubled or tripled in the past few years. The welder I bought was about $2500 or $2700 and today its about $4200. Spray paint in town ranges from $8.49 to $13.99 for what I use and saw some cans over $15. Well thanks for stopping by.
