Hi Everyone,
Im trying to get a used compressor for my home just for working on my cars or if I ever do my fence.
Here are my choices
Central Pneumatic Upright Mdel 47065 3 HP 21 GL $125 comes with reel hose. Low Hours used
Husky Upright 1.5 HP 21 GL 150 PSI New $125 – oil free
Devillbiss Proo 4000 5 HP 20 GL $125 low hours Comes with hose, ratchet and impact wrench oil free
Thanks in advance

Looks like the best deal to me. The 5 HP will give you faster air recovery. The Central Pneumatic would be my 2nd choice. Husky compressors are rebranded Campbell Hausfield’s

In your opinion, how does Central pneumatic rank in compressors for you?

Just an Fyi these cheap oilless air compressors can be noisy as hell if your using it fairly often you might want to take that into consideration.

Ill probably use it 4 times a year. Should I get the Pneumatic instead?
All of them at this price are going to be noisy but only 4 times a year I wouldn’t bother with the extra cost. Sounds like the pro is the best deal of the bunch.
Central Pneumatic compressors aren’t to bad. They’re on of the 3 gems at HF.
DR99 is right about the oil less noise, but no more than your going to use it, it shouldn’t be an issue and the maintenance would be a bigger hassle than any benefit would be worth IMO.
How about a 30 gl crafstman 5hp 50 psi upright oiless for same price
Last count I had Craftsman was being made by Sanborn. Decent compressors. I believe they make the Kobalt compressors for Lowe’s too. I’m getting ready to buy a 5 hp 80 gallon Ingersoll Rand myself. I still haven’t completely ruled out the Kobalt yet though.

There are a bunch of Craftsman air compressors that are under a recall.

Thank you. I found another PRO 4000 with 3.5HP for $70. Comes with the hose, but seller cant tell me how old . I guess I’ll go with the 5HP
