Air compressor, want to hear your opinions.
My old belt driven 14 gal air compressor finally gave up. It put a hole on the tank and one of the valve is busted. I am in search of a compressor and have several ideas.
1- a used 5 gal to 20 gal compressor between $50-$100 bucks. I see some old 4.5 gal Rigid as low as $20-$30 bucks in working condition.
2- Either get a new 15-20 gals ultra quiet compressor from harborfreight or Vevor for around $200-$300 bucks.
3- get a new tank alone and transfer motor/compressor from my old air compressor to the new tank. Off course I will need some miscellaneous parts here and there.
I tend to lean to option (3). This way, I still have a belt driven compressor for the lowest cost and brand new tank. Does anyone have any idea how much a 20 gal tank cost and where to get it?
Thanks.
