Re: Rat repair.

To correct my last post my compressor isn't a 26 gal its a 33 gal.

This is my current setup, I normally have a 25' hose coiled up in place of the yellow retractable bench hose to allow the air to cool, but i needed to string it out outside for a while and it will be back in place soon, thru a moisture trap/filter then to my home made manifold water trap with drain valves on the bottom, thru another water trap/filter then to my hose reel.

Having used it this way i know i need to move my first moisture trap behind the other in front of the hose real as i over load it and still get a lot of moisture at the drain valves on the manifold.

I think if i had one more requirement besides keeping up with sanders and die grinders (this one runs constantly with a die grinder) it would be (hopefully) a little more quiet than the Craftsman 33 Gal, probably asking a lot......

EDIT: I have had the cover off this compressor and was shocked to find a piston of about (if i remember correctly) 1.25" diameter and it moved about a 1" stroke. Pretty skimpy..
