100x more helpful than the "operator's manual". Thank you so much!

[@VansWorld]

Your welcome

[@CSUFHousing]

Seriously. One of the worst manuals I've had. Thanks for the video

[@chrisblanco8923]

Just bought this. This was the video I needed after reading that vague as hell manual. Thanks!

[@the5stacys]

@@chrisblanco8923 have fun w your air compressor. you can do so many things with it.

[@ryanhook9807]

Thirded the operating manual is useless.

[@enriquedominguez5984]

Just bought this a few hours ago. Didn’t even bother with manual. Went straight to KZbin and saw your video . Can’t thank you enough. Now time to do as you instructed

[@fxxs8182]

Thank you so much for providing a short, to the point, no nonsense video. Too many guys out there eating my time. Thanks again!

[@thegamingsurgeon4794]

So real lol 😂😂

[@glmtennessee]

Awesome review of start up. I typically use things right out of the box without reading instructions. I’m so glad I checked here. Thank you!!!!

[@gregorysanders4121]

I appreciate the rundown on this compressor. Just bought one and I’m hoping it last. The instructions will really help. Thanks

[@evphex]

This was perfect. All necessary information without any fluff.

[@Ray-tg1sj]

Don't forget to register your compressor with Ridgid online. I just bought one of these at Home Depot for $129, 140 out the door (Alabama tax). I was really impressed with how easy Ridgid's registration is. This is my first tool from them (DeWalt guy) and I'm really impressed.

[@markymark9359]

Thank you for this video! This was a lot more helpful than the operator manual and other videos on this air compressor.

[@dfinma]

Good point about the extension cord. Also it's better to use no extension cord, or as short as possible. It's best to plug it in to a wall socket and use a longer air hose if needed. (I find it's preferrable to keep it away from you so the noise is less bothersome.)

[@hotrod6251]

Sir…I Thank God for People like you! You’re On Point…Just bought it 👍🏼

[@VansWorld]

I appreciate you! 😁👍

[@thunkuniversity]

Thanks, for helping me set this up, man! Bought my first compressor. My nephew laughed at me for going "old School" and thanks for the tip on the gauge extension cord. would have never thought of that.

[@Steve-nm9gg]

That was the BEST informative intro to a air compressor I’ve ever watched. Well Done Sir. Well Done.

[@jessicaboyden4828]

Just bought one and need to use it!!! Thanks I feel like my Dad just taught me all about it!!! Thanks so much!!! Super helpful!!!

[@famteamtv]

Great walkthrough and everything you said was valuable and right to the point!

[@jaebell2856]

Great information. I just purchased one today and this video helped me out a lot on how to set it up.

[@84cman]

Great video man thanks I’m new to compressors.

[@izmar]

Thanks for the video! I just picked one of these up, and this was very helpful.

[@DIYcedarhilltx]

Thank you for the video! Its my first compressor so i really appreciate it

[@armandofelipe3462]

My goodness what an enjoyable, great video Thank you so much for the instructions 🙏🏻 just got it at Home Depot and not having to open the booklet It’s a lifesaver. God bless.

[@redgt40]

Thank you, your video is way better than the Rigid owners manual that comes with this compressor you cleared up all my questions great job. And I liked and subscribed. Like your accent also.

[@sade62397]

You are awesome!! Thank you for the straight forward common sense information!! 👍🏼

[@mpe777]

Great video brother. Perfect timing for me I just bought one and am getting ready to break it in. Thank you for sharing its crystal clear instructions. 👍🏼

[@hezmydaddyo2722]

Thank you so much for this. I bought this today so I could manage a bit more independently. I’m a bit nervous but this video is easing my jitters!

[@garygoodwin3461]

Perfect video for me. I just bought one! Thanks!

[@EllwoodofBoulderfist]

Great rundown, thanks for making!

[@tyquanwashington.8510]

Thanks for the simple yet thorough video.

[@xrpo.g6855]

Great Vid.. Just bought mine today.. Will be following your break in guide before actually using it to work with.

[@TheGreg0307]

Wish you had a video for all products I bought! Great job

[@tamariwatkins4454]

Great video!!! Thanks for keeping it simple and to the point!

[@robertoa26]

Thank you very much. You have no idea how much you have helped me out.

[@MrsBargon]

Thank you so much! Just purchased this and was so intimidated to get started (am I going to blow myself up?) After fumbling through a less-than-helpful manual I thought “there must be something better on KZbin”. This was just what I needed to shake off the nerves and get started! Appreciate you!

[@HeronCalaris]

I'm doing this right now. Thank you very much Sir. You are a life saver!!!

[@raywilliams1288]

Very good presentation! Thanks

[@wscsace]

Concise, informative and to the point...well done!

[@garyloveless3562]

Great video, thank you so much! Cleared up some questions I had being a first time user!

[@shawnpa]

Very thorough directions. Thank you.

[@VansWorld]

😁👍

[@andaril313]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Way more helpful the manual.

[@DivinionFaith]

Definitely helpful. Manual was making my head spin. My new truck doesn't have an auxiliary power outlet, so I had to upgrade from my mini compressor to fill tires.

[@pepman1044]

Great primer for first time user. Glad I came up on this. Thanks bud

[@VansWorld]

I appreciate you too! 😁👍

[@CanOfMinus]

Thank you! Simple and direct!

[@Hyperion509]

Thanks for the clear explanation!

[@DullCoffeeLG]

Thanks for this video, super helpful. Do I need to break in the air compressor again after not using it for a long time?

[@FunDuude]

Great video. I just bought one of these, and I was too lazy to read the manual. Also, I bet you explain it better than the manual. You da man.

[@jonnyjames3202]

Thank you for being concise and to the point! Saved me a lot of reading, sir! 😅

[@mikemoranty75]

Really good info, thanks for the Details.

[@100stars]

No one wants to read the manual anymore including me lols. Your video helped me braking-in the new compressor. Thank you so much!

[@giovannymedina3984]

Awesome tutorial, thank you so much!

[@joshuaweiss7644]

Great video thanks for walking us through !

[@VansWorld]

My pleasure.

[@cvz14]

Perfect video for a beginner Thank you

[@FF-xl7yw]

awesome SIMPLE video!! THANK YOU!!!

[@ashleynoneya3891]

Thank you so much ! How helpful and quick

[@christianconnors9649]

Outstanding info, thank you, Sir.

[@followhim6502]

I just picked this up as a kit with 3 nail guns at Home Depot for $199. I needed a nail gun that actually went through wood for a kitchen island project. I've used nail guns before but never had to prime one myself. Your video was a huge help! Thanks!

[@kidsschool2140]

Dang. I just paid $299 for the same package. 👎🏻

[@luismtz97]

​@Kids School me too!

[@SOUNDINTHECITY]

I’m going to buy that same package, but it’s now $299 at H.D. 😢

[@PANOPTIC-VIDS]

Danm, that's a great price. I got ripped off at my Home Depot. Just picked up the same kit for $299😢

[@PANOPTIC-VIDS]

​@kidsschool2140 I said the same thing $299 how on earth did he get his for $199, but whatever 😢

[@Topp-Dogg-AKA-A.C.E]

Great video, very informative Thank You

[@MaryK4242]

Thank you for sharing. I just got my Ridgid 6 today. I used the correct extension cord only by luck so goo to know, and I did the break in. But didn't understand the left gauge. Thanks for explaining. BTW Local distributor guy sells these for $80 out of his house. Good deal.

[@TonyLugo]

Great information. Are we supposed to lock in a pressure setting by pushing to the knob inwards and vice versa?

[@Br3Bre]

Great straight to the point video 💪🏾

[@VansWorld]

Thanks! 😁👍

[@OxCart78]

I am a year late to the " Rigid doesn't care owners manual" party. I've had some bad manuals but wow, this is right up there. Just wanted to say thanks for the video it was extremely useful and I learned quite a bit. Rigid should just pay you for this video and post it to thier website and add royalty fees to you.😂

[@RuPaulCharley]

Thank you sir! Beyond helpful! Great video

[@VansWorld]

Thanks. I appreciate you 😁👍

[@devildog8328]

Thank you, extremely helpful.

[@Rrusso92]

This is a great video! Thanks so much! Just bought a house in November and I’m now setting up my garage. Quick question, should I empty the tank after every use, or can I leave it plugged in and turned on for using it often?

[@joshuadavidlewis2089]

Very helpful! Thank you.

[@johnkennedy3453]

Hi sir. Thanks for the very detailed and helpful video. Question that I didn’t find covered in video though. Should the machine cut off at or around 150 psi or should I cut it off manually and then adjust it to the pressure I want to use? Also is there a recommended prouder for an air gun attachment? Thanks again sir 🫡

[@perrystone7112]

Great tips! Thanks .. got one today for $99 from Home Depot.

[@erikschmude]

Thanks You for a great video, very helpful.

[@nicsea83]

For standard household stuff, like filling bicycle tires and a small nail gun and whatnot. Is there a generic setting to set the outlet pressure?

[@DoubleDeuce2500]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@memos415]

Thank you very much. Very helpful.

[@jrdj9938]

Very helpful. Great content!!’

[@dpu328]

Fantastic video. Thanks

[@LaRoseDetails]

Yo thanks bro!!! You helped me out way more than the manual. They should pay u to do these for them

[@greenguy1408]

Thanks man great video 👍

[@kimijonghighball9626]

Exactly what I wanted to know was to break the compressor in. Thanks and will be looking to get that 12g extension cord as soon as possible.

[@VansWorld]

Awesome. Thanks. Have a good one 😁👍

[@LUCASPELUCAS777]

Great video 👍

[@sarahsmith9766]

After filling the compressor with air, set psi for tool, attach hose… do you keep the compressor on to maintain pressure as you use your tool?

[@anatoliygolub5609]

don't know if the rules translate but I used to be a commercial diver (deal with bottles and compressors a lot) and the rule of thought was to always leave a little pressure in the tank. that helps prevent corrosion and prolong bottle life

[@steviehustlingnetwork3129]

Very Informative. Thanks...

[@IamtheActionman]

Thanks very much, super helpful 👍

[@VansWorld]

😁👍

[@shakenbake3196]

Great video

[@edcarbone241]

If I want to hook the air compressor to a hose reel, can I just connect hose reel to one outlets and the other outlet to my air gun?

[@tedwestall2269]

Thank you Sir!

[@jajtruck1]

Nice Job! 👍

[@jjjjjjjjjjjhjjjjjhjj]

Will it over heat if I use the cord that comes with it? Also can you show how to adjust the pressure wasn’t the best explanation

[@Rizzaman1285]

Thank you!

[@DeaconLucas1]

Great Video

[@williamfotiou7577]

I'm about to pull the trigger on this compressor. I'm down grading since my old 30 gallon took a cr-p. Is it ok to use a 3/8 hose on a 6 gal or go to a 1/4 inch. Thanks

[@bronzebra9770]

Better than the manual. Thanks

[@BirdDawg1]

Thank you sir!

[@joeyp4196]

I bought this only for air in my tires. What psi would you set it on the Outlet pressure?

[@chrismcknight3844]

Right on, I hate manuals this was helpful

[@perkins106]

Question what are the tools have you used with the 6 gallon air compressor?

[@hailien1]

Great job Boss

[@tonycapil1022]

Is there a reason why Dewalt's 6 gallon pancake version mentions nothing about a 30 min initial break in period? I'm going to do it anyways though. Thanks for your very helpful video!

[@1newstart01start4]

Well done.

[@darksideofthemoon7332]

Thank you so much for this! Just bought this at Home Depot tonight, but will run it later tomorrow morning for 30 mins to break it in. Your video was super helpful!

[@zackgriset7696]

Thank you!!

[@jasonneumann1678]

Does it automatically fill up the tank when drained or at a lower pressure than what it was set at?

[@DanMcKelvey]

Thank you for the helpful video. I’m new to using air compressors and this video gave me what I needed to set up my new ridgid compressor and blow out my sprinklers. Many thanks to you 🙏

[@VansWorld]

It’s very handy. Had to use mine quite a few time so far. Thanks for watching. And for commenting. Have a good one 😁👍

[@OxCart78]

@DanMcKelvey you recall the video you watched? I would love how to do this myself.

[@DrunkDrynasty]

Hi thanks for the video. I am having trouble with my new rigid 6gal compressor (same model) paired with the rigid nailers and hose kit. Sometimes it works perfectly then the next time it shoots blanks then a nail, blank nail, and so forth. I have the tank pressure gauge at 150psi and tried adjusting the Outlet pressure between 70-100psi with no improvement . One thing is I totally missed the part about break in and running it for 30 mins. I just released the air to try and reset it. Anything that you can think of that I might be doing wrong?

[@josepha4508]

Luckily watch watch this great teacher before plugging it in, Read the somewhat useless manual. Thank you Sir for a brief and though lesson.
