This review is from: Ingersoll Rand P1IU-A9 Hand Carry Twinstack 2-HP Compressor (Tools & Home Improvement) I'm one of those guys who over-analyzes EVERY purchase, and this compressor wasn't any different. The price from Amazon can't be beat, and the free shipping took only 2 days! It handles my Hitachi framing nailer and Hitachi sheathing stapler simultaneously with ease! I can not say enough about this compressor, though upon arrival I wanted to throw it off the bridge! Long story short, like several other reviewers, when the compressor arrived, BOTH gauges were crushed! Smashed not by UPS but by Ingersoll Rand when the compressor was assembled. Whoever the mule was who dropped in the motor/compressor unit hit the gauges from the top, bending both cases and gauge faces. Not immediately evident, I started adjusting the pressure switche before I got a flashlight and got down on my knees and saw the damage. I considered calling I-R to get new gauges but then realized that they'd just send the same $4 pieces of junk as originally installed. I decided to get a pair of "Ashcroft 200900...Read more 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Ingersoll Rand P1IU-A9 Hand Carry Twinstack 2-HP Compressor (Tools & Home Improvement) I purchased this from Northern Tool when they had free delivery for nearly all IR products. It was also much cheaper than the price listed on Amazon at the time of this review. I have used this mainly for minor automotive use such as: filling tires and removing some bolts with a cheapo (read: air hog) Campbell Hausfeld air wrench. I have also used it with a blower to clean out my garage. Doesn't necessarily keep up with the blower nozzle, as I expected, but with a short break (10-15 seconds) it gets back up to pressure and I can continue. No problems powering the air wrench, but the bolts I was removing weren't on too bad. It's a fairly quiet compressor, with the loudest noise coming from the connectors rattling, not the compressor itself. I would like to add one 3/8" connector but I'm wondering if I need to make the cover holes larger so it can fit. Overall it seems to be a high quality unit that can handle most DIY tasks without taking up too much space...Read more 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Ingersoll Rand P1IU-A9 Hand Carry Twinstack 2-HP Compressor (Tools & Home Improvement) I am no stranger to IR compressors as I have purchase many over the years used for large production facility applications. My experience using them and their reputation in the field solidifies in my mind that they are at the top of their game, the best of the best. When it came time to replace my portable compressor, I came upon this twin stack unit (model P1IU-A9), and decided to give it a try. Box arrived on promised date (thanks Amizon) but with a few war wounds, which translated into a few scratches on the tanks; not enough to return the unit. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality of all the hardware. Everything seems to be extra heavy duty which of course translates in to weight. She is quite heavy but not to the point that it is not portable. I will probably dedicate a dolly or cart to facilitate rolling it around. It came with an air filter that looks more like it was designed for dessert conditions (very well designed). Stainless steel braded line leading from...Read more |
