Hi Pan, im a year late for looking to buy a conpressor. Is this still relevant or are there anything better up to date? Im looking for a quiet one as the one i had before wakes everyone up includong the neighbours as i mostly can only do some work done at night inside my garage. 😅

[@stanleykachuik2589]

After researching air compressors and owning several for welding and sandblasting. Here's the downlow. I call it the rule of 5. SCFM is a measure of how much air the compressor pulls from the atmosphere. To know how much air flow is going to your tool, devide by 5. Based on that, you quickly see that each true CFM being delivered to your tool costs $500. You need to run a 3cfm tool. Expect to pay $1500 for the compressor that claims to have 14-16 scfm. Most everything else ( PSI, horsepower, duty cycle, oil less, tank size ect. ) Only affects longevity of the compressor.

@@PanTheOrganizer thanks bro I appreciate your efforts......just came across this channel today trying to find more information about air Compressor

[@abradic]

I may have missed it in the video, but a very important detail is the duty cycle of this unit. Rigid recommends 5 minutes of run time followed by 5 minutes off for a 50% duty cycle. It can obviously run much longer, but it will shorten the life if you ignore the duty cycle. I have a Tornador at home and this seems like an excellent unit to buy for my occasional use, as well as tire pressures, air gun, or in general compressed air through a nozzle to clean something out, but for the professionals they should keep duty cycle in mind. I'm guessing they have their Tornadors running for much more than 5 minutes at a time without giving the compressor a break.

[@Devast8r34]

Fantastic point I will make sure to do one section a seat or a seat a floor section then vacuum and rotate to keep the run time lower. Thanks for the head up

[@JacobSmith-yh1sz]

I have cooked all the other harbor freight pancake compressors in my van but got the most life out of the craftsman but the price jumped from $99 to $160 so I purchased the 6 gallon rigid pancake and honestly cooked it in a week or two in the back of my van. Preformed proper break in on all the units and release pressure. Going to try this unit buying tonight. Hope this one holds up.

[@Antonioforest]

@@JacobSmith-yh1sz Did you end up buying it? If so, how is it holding up?

[@Danny-xj5ts]

This is an excellent point. This is one reason why I had to upgrade. Sadly I bought a quiet 20 gallon compressor with low PSI and SCFM rating. I will be buying a different one again because once you get addicted to the tornador, 5 mins of continuous use is not enough lol

Detailer here out of California hoping to get some help! Currently have this air compressor and have an air hose reel and tornador and love how it performs! My question is, i am considering getting a another air hose reel and tornador so my employee can use one at the same time as me. Will they still both perform well or what do you guys think?!

[@acefire07]

Hey Pan, I got this compressor as a gift and plan to use it with detailing. I don't have a hose just yet. I noticed you use a ⅜" hose but Ridgid one in the description is ¼" will I still get optimal air flow for tools like the Tornador?

I hear great things about this. I'm currently using a Goodyear 8 gallon. Does this 4.5 gallon fill up quickly? I feel like in detailing we use alot of air sometimes. I have felt like I'd love to get a 20 gallon because of this. But I'm interested in a minimal set up.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It will turn on for sure while you are using power hungry tools continuously for sure. There are limits to what 4.5 GAL will do. It’s always a compromise of size vs performance.

What air compressor are you using? You should be able to lock in a certain pressure like 90 psi, and the compressor works to maintain that pressure.

Can u use it with a 2000 wat 13amp generator

[@griz_xi]

Been thinking about getting a small air compressor like this…can you use these to blow out excess water around headlights, taillights, mirrors, door handles etc…so it doesn’t drip afterwards vs buying one of these for normal uses and buying one of the blowers for drying cars? I would imagine it’s all the same right it’s just air so I don’t see the reason for both…

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes this has enough power to do everything you need for detailing. If you get an air blow out tool, you can use it to blow air out of intricate areas, door jams, sills, mirrors, trim, headlights, door handles, grilles, etc. But it's a more "focused" stream of air, so not really used for drying the entire vehicle, although technically you could. Car dryers (or leaf blowers) blow out a wider stream of air so they are more useful if you want to dry the entire vehicle. It will be quicker with a big blower like EGO leaf blower, or MetroVac Master Blaster blower for example.

[@griz_xi]

@@PanTheOrganizer thanks Pan! I mainly just want to be able to blow out the excess that gets trapped in places like door handles and stuff so it doesn’t drip down later! I have some really good drying towels for now like the mammoth from the rag company that work really well for me. I just get annoyed with the drips from the places I can’t reach when they try to run out when I’m applying a wax or something!

[@Rica17ramirez]

Great video Pan, I bought the rigid last week and finally tried it out with a tornador this weekend. However I’m not sure if I’m using properly. When I regulate and lock in the output gauge and it refills it changes to a different number either higher or lower than what I set it to. Is this normal? Anyone that can help? I’m not sure if it’s user error as this is my first experience with a compressor and tornador gun.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Hard to say as I don’t see what you are doing. One thing I remember is follow the instructions in the manual to a T as it can be complex to operate an air compressor the first time with a new unit.

[@Rica17ramirez]

I followed the instructions on the manual.When I used it on the weekend, I let the tank fill up. I set the output regulator to 90 PSI and locked it in place, then began using the tornador. The compressor would then refill as normal, but once refilled, the output PSI went up to 100, or another time was at 75. @@PanTheOrganizer

[@gary9879]

Great video Pan! Please do a video on the new Tornador MAX. That looks so interesting and love the swivel connection on it! Just curious if that connection will fit a Euro Flow connection that I bought from OG. Its a Prevost S1 Euro connection. Will industrial fit Euro? If not, can the swivel on the Tornador Max be made with a Euro connection? I bought into Matts philosophy from OG with more air flow with Euro and now it seems nothing fits Euro.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

No it won’t fit the Euro high flow connections. It’s a standard 1/4 inch quick connect on the Tornador Max. You will see a video soon on Tornador tools on my channel. Stay tuned! I have the Euro high flow connectors on my FIAC WallAir air compressor which I reviewed here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZTaoHyoar6mqNU

[@PeterBecht535]

Great content Pan, with water always accumulating in the tanks under pressure would you recommend a water and filter discharge adapter before it gets to your tools you use.

[@AI_Joel]

@ Pan the Organizer Will the predator 3500 be able to handle this?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I am not a mobile detailer so I don’t play with generators unfortunately. You’d have to ask mobile guys like James from Top Class Detail.

[@seventiesandbeyond]

Would I be able to run the Rupes LHR75 off this compressor?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

No you need more power from a bigger compressor to run pneumatic polishers like that. Even Obsessed Garage’s high end 10K FIAC compressor is just barely “ok” for that.

[@paul6749]

Hi Pan, even though, as a weekend warrior, I don’t need a big compressor, your video was still interesting to watch. Could you do a video on home water filtering systems, (If you haven’t done a video already!)? I don’t mean the all-singing and dancing systems which filter all the water as it comes into the house, I mean the stand-alone small tank systems where you buy the resin separately and which connect to your hose or pressure washer and is only used for the final rinse. Thanks

Hey Pan what interior cleaner is better p and s express or gyeon interior cleaner the one with the blue liquid

[@PanTheOrganizer]

For a deeper clean, Xpress. It also does leather. For a light clean, and especially on piano black gloss surfaces and also infotainment displays, Gyeon Interior Detailer is the one to get. Hence why I have many products in my arsenal. I pick what I prefer for a given surface or task.

Hi Pan, would I be able to use ONR to clean carpets with the Tornador?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

ONR isn't really a carpet cleaner. For deep carpet cleaning, you would use a carpet cleaner and brush, and then an extractor. The Tornador could also be used with the enzyme cleaner, but it's not really meant for deep carpet & fiber cleaning.

Hi Pan, thank you for this review!! I am looking for a compact air compressor ... this might be it ... one question though ... is it strong enough for an impact wrench? I need something that is for tornado and other tools as well as for the impact wrench ... thank you!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I don’t use impact wrenches but from my quick research it seems most impact wrenches require approximately 5 CFM @ 90 psi and this air compressor can handle that no problem. So my guess is you should be fine. But double check your impact wrenche’s requirements to make sure.

For drying, when would you use compressed air versus a blower? Have you considered doing a comparison of handheld and wall mounted blower? When each is appropriate. Basic leaf blower to higher end. As always, appreciate your thorough, honest reviews.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

For drying an entire car, I prefer a car dryer or leaf blower, like in my video about car dryers here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqbTY3SqnJmeqZI
