Added a new tool to the aresnal
Rigid MobilAir Tri-Stak 5gal compressor
Breaks apart into two separate pieces to make it more mobile. So far so good, I`m liking its uses.

Anyone know of add-ons that`d be useful? How about an attachment that fans the air flat so I can "sweep" water off the car? Thanks in advance,
Dustin

Wow, I really like th eway that is layed out!
Re: Added a new tool to the aresnal
the top piece houses a smaller tank, little more than a gallon I think that can be taken alone for portability. If its going to be used more, I can attach the additional tanks underneath. I may have to upgrade my generator to handle it though
Re: Added a new tool to the aresnal
That looks pretty nice. What does it go for?

Nice compressor for those smaller jobs and they`ll add up quickly! :bigups
Re: Added a new tool to the aresnal
I just added a (much smaller) compressor, too - mostly for blowing out MF pads. Works but, after a couple of sessions, I`m beginning to think I should have bought a bigger unit like this one.
If I had, I might be looking at a Tornador.

Rigid makes awesome tools!
I suggest the Grip Rite rubber air hose made for roofing equipment. Stays flexible to -40 degrees.
Re: Added a new tool to the aresnal
Thankfully Florida doesn`t get too cold, although its 50* right now and I`m freezing lol, so I shouldn`t have too much problem with the hose. I received a 50` one with it, doesn`t seem to be the greatest quality but it`ll work. Everything has quick connects already which is convenient. It`s capable of 3 attachments simultaneously (3 outputs) so for those working with a crew it could be a pretty good setup
Re: Added a new tool to the aresnal
I really like the Tornador, particularly for interiors. It would work perfectly with your air compressor.
Re: Added a new tool to the aresnal
Looks very nice i just got a cheep HF one for christmas...I still need to get my attachement for it
Re: Added a new tool to the aresnal
Todd that Tornador looks like an awesome tool I`ll have to start saving again :)
Re: Added a new tool to the aresnal
I don`t know about an attachment that is fan shaped but you can make you own. Simply get a piece of straight 1/4 copper tubing and solder it into a air tool fitting then flatten the end to make it into a fan shape. Only problem is there is no shut off you have to disconnect it. Basically a poor mans blow gun but they do flow a lot more air then the OSHA blow guns out there. As far as air hose goes this style is the best I`ve ever used. They are light weight and extemely flexible for doing interior house work such as trim they won`t scratch wood work if you happen to drag it down a hallway. I use mine in the garage and don`t have to worry about one of the curls flipping over and hitting the side of the car when I`m pulling it past to do something on the other side of the garage.
