New air compressor recomendations!

I am looking for a new air compressor that I will not complain about I have had two oil less crapsman compressors 120v would not run air tools and definately not sand blasting, I like Ingersoll rand, but what's a good 60 gallon 220v comprssor that won't break the bank and do the job while lasting a while!

3848 from Harbor Freight. 60 Gallon and ~$400. Legnend has it that its made in the same factory as the Kobalt compressors.

A compressor is one of those things you can never get to large. Get the absolute most SCFM you can afford. I absolutely love my 80 gal Eaton Compressor. Runs everything I throw at it.

I agree. I've got an 80 gallon rol air. It laughs at sandblasters...

Compressor should be a lifetime investment. Buy a low RPM 2 stage compressor. 900 -1200 rpms, 7.5 hp, 60-80 gal tank and you'll be happy forever!! The sears compressor at 4000 rpms is a joke. You'll be happy how quiet it is!!
