An Overview Of The Husky Air CompressorHome use air compressors are manufactured by Campbell Hausfeld under the Husky brand name. The Husky air compressor enables you to use many different air tools at home or in workshops. The tools comprise spray guns, air powered sanders, grinders, hammers, wrenches, and tire inflators. The Husky air compressor comes in both horizontal and vertical model versions. Vertical models have a smaller footprint, but are larger than horizontal models. Verticals are essentially stationary units, except for the 26 gallon Husky vertical model. The horizontal models occupy more floor space, but are easily portable. The essential difference between the vertical models and the horizontal ones lies in the amount of power delivered to the air tools. Verticals deliver significantly more air per minute than horizontal units. The 80 gallon vertical model delivers a staggering 72.2/25.5 SCFM (standard cubic feet per minute) at 40/90 psi (pounds per square inch) of air pressure. In contrast the 8 gallon horizontal model delivers only 0/2.6 SCFM at 40/90 psi air pressure. Although most people agree that going in for a large-capacity air compressor is much better than a smaller sized one, this actually depends on certain factors. The kind of air tools used and the frequency of use are major considerations in this decision. A smaller capacity compressor would make much more sense when you would be using the compressor infrequently with small air tools. The popular Husky air compressor models are FP2019, FP 2020, FP2021, FP2045, FP2047, and FP2205. The first mentioned is an oilless handheld portable air compressor used in homes and workshops. FP2020 and FP2021 are known as pancake air compressors. The FP2045 and FP2047 are oilless tank mounted units. The HS7810 is a 2-stage stationary air compressor with a cast iron frame. The Husky model VT631502AJ is a 5HP 26 gallon vertical compressor unit. It provides more than 50 SCFM of air delivery. The used model is currently priced at $182.5 on eBay. It comes with a 25 foot hose. The Husky model H1506FWH is a portable air compressor with a power rating of 1.5 HP. It has a tank capacity of 6 gallons and delivers 2.5 SCFM (standard cubic feet per minute) at 90 psi. The compressor has a maximum pressure rating of 135 psi (pounds per square inch). The unit is fully enclosed under a hood and features a lightweight, oil and maintenance free universal motor driven compressor. Since the motor draws low current, circuit breakers are dispensed away with in this model. Its handle has a telescoping feature and dual wheels at the rear end for optimum portability. The compressor model can be used for DIY (do it yourself) projects. The current approximate cost on Home Depot of the unit with accessory kit is $139. Shipping is extra. The price and quality of a Husky air compressor compares well with those of equivalent air compressor manufacturers including Devilbiss. Used models of many of these Husky air compressor units are available at discounted prices on eBay, Home Depot, and other auctioning sites on the Web.
