Hey, kids, this has a 300-gallon capacity, I misheard him initially. Its eight feet long! The motor is less than a year old, and the compressor is in great shape. Still tossing this around! That grand would finish the heat and air on the Imperial, for certain; plus leave enough for new shocks. I might just press ahead and get the compressor. It'll be the last one I will ever need, guaranteed!
Might paint this up to resemble a large bomb, complete with fins. Screw with people's minds and all!

I still say get it. It will make your life way easier for years to come. I have had mine for over 20 years and still going strong.
I left my 5 HP 220 single phase 60 gallon behind because I had attached it to the pole barn with 60' of 1/2" galvanized pipe and ah 50' hose real above attached and the buyer noticed that it waz attached even before he bought the place. Got down here to N.C. and after we bought I started thinking about a replacement Compressor and decided to go small 'cuz I figgered airing tirez and an occasional zip-zip with ah 3/8' air rachet waz about the most I'd need so I cheaped out and went with a Campbell Hausfeld 1 horse 20 gallon tank 110 unit. 1st time I used it I thought OH S***, I'VE SCREWED UP BAD. My lungz ain't great anymore but this thing iz ah PITA and I'm out $200. BUY THE BIG UNIT WITH THE BIG HORSE ALREADY. You don't even have to compare it to your little unit. First time you use it it will put a smile on your face. Trust me on that, Jer

I'm bringing a buddy over to have him look it over, just to have a second set of eyeballs on it. I'm 99% there on the purchase. I like to have an unbiased person look at something like that with me first. If yes, I will have that magnificent beast in my shop tomorrow!

I'm still on the fence but I hope it suits your needs Patrick.

Not getting it for now, anyway. I want to get the Imperial as finished as possible. He's in no hurry to sell the compressor, so that's good. If he sells it in the meantime, then it wasn't to be.
I'm glad the Imperial won

I hate it when I have to make those decisions. I'd rather someone else bought it and make the decision for me
