Husky Compressor ??

[nsjuice]

As I stated in other posts, I am looking for 2 compressors for my shop.

One for Strictly painting in the booth.

the other for numerous tool use in the shop.

I am considering the Husky compressors from Home Depot. Does anyone have any experience with Huskys? Please do share any reviews/opinions you have.

This is the Tool use one:

80 Gallon.
A solid CAST IRON, oil-lubricated pump for extreme durability. Offers 175 PSI maximum pressure and air delivery 27.2/25.1 SCFM @ 90/175 PSI. The unit has a space saving vertical design and includes factory installed magnetic starter, efficient Solberg style intake filter, control panel with tank and outlet gauges, pre-plumbed globe valve, and pressure switch.

• Solid CAST IRON, oil-lubricated pump for extreme durability!
• Space saving vertical design
• Includes a factory installed magnetic starter and efficient Solberg style intake filter.
• Offers control panel with tank and outlet gauges, pre-plumbed globe valve, and pressure switch.

And this, in the paint booth:

A solid CAST IRON, oil-lubricated pump for extreme durability. Offers 175 PSI maximum pressure and air delivery 15.1/13.7 SCFM @ 90/175 PSI. The unit has an 80 gallon ASME code tank for more stored power and it also includes an efficient Solberg style intake filter, control panel with tank and outlet gauges, pre-plumbed globe valve, and pressure switch. This compressor is ideal for a small business or shop!

Info taken from the HomeDepot website.

Any info would be most useful.

Thanks.

I see no reason to buy two compressors for a non commerical shop. 15 - 22 cfm @160 psi with a two stage pump and an 80 gallon tank is all the compressor you'll ever need.
