Sears Air Compressors For The Home



Sears has long been a name you trust for all kinds of hand and power tools for the home and Sears air compressors are no different. Craftsman belongs to Sears so you can relax knowing that you have one of the best warranties around. There are many choices but there is one compressor that's very popular choices for home use.

The Craftsman 1 Gallon � HP Compressor comes complete with a 2 in 1 Stapler or Nailer. It comes with quiet release that reduces the noise when disconnecting and it also makes it easier for the hose to be connected and disconnected.

The nailer stapler combination will drive 18 gauge � inch crown staples and 18 gauge brad nails. This portable compressor weighs no more than 20 pound and it's light weight makes it a breeze to move from the garage to the house to the yard.

It comes as a complete unit with compressor, nailer and stapler, 15 foot compressor coil hose, tank, regulator gauge, � inch coupler, and even the safety goggles are included. Now that's the Sears way!

The compressor is an oilless design with a direct drive. That makes for a very low maintenance compressor. It has a decibel level of 66 dbs, delivering 42 cfm @ 90 psi with a maximum 125 psi. This is a great package for the home user.

If you need a compressor that's just a little bigger with a little more horsepower check out Craftsman's Professional 80 gallon air compressor with a 5.5 horsepower vertical 2 stage pump with splash lubrication. It comes with the check valve, pressure gauge, shut off valves, and safety relief. This compressor is capable of 17.4 SCFM at 100 psi, 16.9 at 175 psi which is the maxium psi of the compressor.

It's important to know what size compressor you really need. There is no point in purchasing a compressor that's too small for the job at hand and purchasing one that's too big will just cost you money you don't need to spend and not just for the compressor but also for energy costs.

So start by making a list of what you plan to do and what air tools you plan to use to do those jobs. Then determine what the largest SCFM and PSI are so that you can ensure the compressor you are looking at is capable of meeting those demands.

It always pays to be a smart shopper and looking at Sears air compressors and knowing what you need are a great start to being a smart shopper.
