The 3/8 line I refer to is just the hose I'm using to supply the tools I use. I have mine set up with a pressure gause on top of my tank, 3/8 pipe fittings to a valve, then a Filter/ regulator, then 2 Quick connects for hoses.
My Compressor is old, I can't remember the brand. I bought it cheap on a yard sale, the guy had a 1/2 horse 1750 RPM motor on it, and it wouldn't even pump up to 120 psi. I put a 2 horse 3450? rpm motor on it, and that runs the compressor adequately. It's not much, but better than what I had, The previous compressor would barely pump up tires it was so tired. It's not a DeVilbiss, but the brand (if you'd say it I'd Know it, now I'll have to look at it tomorrow) is on the same level of quality, in my opinion. I want to say Johnson Controls, but don't hold me to it. I have only about a 30 gallon tank. I know it's not enough to continually supply most tools, I'm ok with that for the time being. I just do what I can with it until the air pressure is low, then walk away for a couple minutes until it pumps up again and I can continue.
Some day when I have money I don't know what to do with (maybe next year's tax refund?) I'll get around and buy an 80-120 Gallon unit with a 5HP 220V motor. I'll pick a good one later when the money is there.
My frustration or confusion lies in the fact that I feel the impact guns don't put out the power they should while the air pressure is above 80-90 psi. I have the pressure switch set for 120 psi cut out, 80 cut in.
Hope I explained myself well enough! -Andy
