Hello,
I just bought a Craftsman 3 gallon 1 HP compressor from Sears for $89, to use for nail gun applications. I’ve never owned nor used a compressor or nail guns before, but I’m a pretty decent woodworker, so I‘m not a novice to woodworking, only to compressors and nail guns.
This compressor is oil-lubed and has a direct drive motor. Has anyone had experience with this compressor? According to the specs, it has 125 max psi and delivers 2.4 cfm at 90 psi. I haven’t bought my nail guns yet, but this seems to be enough capacity to drive nail guns.
I deliberately stayed away from oilless compressors, since most of you told me that an oil lubed compressor was the better choice.
I hope that you’ll tell me that I made a good buy. I’m sort of fishing for someone to tell me that this compressor was a good choice for nail guns. I don’t plan on using it for anything else.
Thanks,
Louis
