Tire Pressure

[terry and jo]

Cummins is right. We have had two different air compressors capable of 150 pounds pressure. The first was a Craftsman unit from about 10 years or so ago, and for it to fill a tire to 125 psi, I had to make sure that the last few pounds had the compressor actually running. I even had an additional 5 gallon tank hooked to it to get more volume, but even that wasn't enough.

Then, a few years ago, I went to purchase a small compressor for a place we worked as volunteers. I purchased the $100 Porter-Cable compressor with 6 gallon capacity and 150 pound psi max. It did a LOT better job than the Craftsman, so I gave the Craftsman to a friend who had nothing at all and bought a Porter-Cable for us. Haven't regretted doing that.
