So I bought a CL air compressor last night. It's a 14 gallon, 3/4 hp motor, belt drive, old school unit. It takes about 3 minutes to pump up to 100 psi. It's so old that there's no manual for it and the company (Sanborn) has long been bought out by Coleman. Coleman doesn't even make air compressors anymore, so they have no tech support for this unit.
When I was looking, one of the criteria was >4.5cfm @ 90psi so it would run my 1/2" impact gun. This one runs the gun, but I'm still curious as to what its output is. This thing is so quiet compared to the old direct drive relic that I had before.
