I always thought the IR was a lot more expensive than what was mentioned in an earlier post. $450 ain't too shabby. Maybe I should quit looking in Harbor freight and using it as a price comparison. I would like to get rid of my devil air compressor, but can't till I can warrant the purchase of a new "better" one.
Try Northern Tool (www.northerntool.com). They have some decent deals on Ingersoll Rand compressors. Also have EZpay. Bills your credit card in 6 payments, plus no shipping charges. Personnaly I would look at something in the 7.5 HP 27.4 cfm @175 PSI.
