Thanks! I need to air up a tire, my husband isn’t here, and I had no idea how to use the compressor in our garage! This was great.
Glad I could help! Here is our video for tires. czcams.com/video/sITnVKd8RaQ/video.html
Same. Hopefully I can do this!
Me too!! Thanks so much from 2022 🎉 great vid
You got this.
This is the only draw back of letting a man do things for you. Lol. I’ve been there, when they are gone it’s a more vulnerable feeling because you’ve never had to do something yourself lol
Functionally operates just as it should czcams.com/users/postUgkxiiMg_x4gIWeXMWfBnDdRnME4qJUAva4w holds pressure perfectly when not in use. Glad one of the other reviews pointed out that the bottom pressure release valve was open; thought it was defective at first.
THANK YOU! You just helped a single mom learn something new and inflate the kids’ pool! Thank you so much! ☺️

Great video thanks for the rundown I just bought my first air compressor. It’s a dewalt cordless 60v 2.5 gallon tank. Needs the portability 😊
You are welcome. Those small cordless air compressors look very handy. I have not had the chance to use one myself.
OMG! Just bought one last night, and the manual is horrible. This answered all of my questions in just a few minutes! Thank you!!!

Thank you. I just bought one like yours and was clueless. The manual is in tiny letters and letters are light gray, hard on my old eyes. Much appreciated!!
Glad I could help!
Great video and a good and quick explanation of how to use the compressor. the valve with the ring on it is a safety valve, it will open if the compressor does not shut off and puts in too much pressure in the tank. If you want to empty the tank, open the valve at the bottom of the tank.
Excellent walk thru. Answered questions I couldn't find in the manual.

Nice. Thanks!! I bought one of these a few months ago. For some reason it scares me :D
Perfect!!! Ty
No problem 😊
thanks for the video. It was a great tour of the parts. I still can't find the answer to my question though. I want to use the tank to fill balloons in the back yard, can I fill the tank to say 124psi, and then set the regulated hose to say 10psi, and use it to fill balloons but not have the unit plugged in? Nobody wants to tell me if I can use the air compressor when its not plugged in just to use the tank to blow air through the hose. thanks!
Good question! Of course you can use it unplugged. It just means the tank will not refill when it gets low. You will just use it until the compressed air runs out, and there is nothing wrong with that when you are not using tools that require a set pressure. And 10 psi or 15 psi sounds perfect for balloons. I said or 15 because it may be hard to get it right on 10, but you know you have the right idea.
Nice video Thanks

What part is the coupler called where you don’t need to move the sleeve back to attach the air hose? That looks much easier!! I want to buy it for my own compressor.
I believe they are called "Push Type". Here is an Amazon Link for that. www.amazon.com/Milton-S-765-V-Style-High-Flow-Coupler/dp/B000BVYSY2?crid=19L0GJ1WJIUSJ&keywords=air+compressor+coupler&qid=1640016401&sprefix=air+compressor+cou%2Caps%2C196&sr=8-19&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=372b9dd55aef71d6a15c6125f743d918&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
just got one in using a impact wrench to take a tire off a moped can i use either female port on this?
Well, if you got a brand new one then both female ports should be regulated. I moved mine on this so I could have one regulated and one not. So, making that assumption either port is fine. Just set the regulator to the proper psi for your tool. 👍 So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
Thanks!
No problem!
Just a few weeks ago a friend had one of those 6gal porta cable compressor I was just checking it out and noticed on the tank it said do not use after 2021do you know the reason why its dated I got cambelhausfeld 13gallon that's 27yrs old and a speedaire 20gallon that's older but still going strong
It's part of a mandated date program to basically guarantee the tank corrosion resistance so that even if the compressor is not taken care of it should be safe to use until then.

While inserting the tube and especially while disconnecting the tube, can the tank have compressed air or should it be released thru the safety valve?
It can have air, you just have to have a strong hand on the hose.

What is the pression for gun paiting for example in paiting a car.
You really need to see the instructions / specifications for the paint gun that you have.
Thank-you!
You're welcome!
Thank you! These come with really poor instructions, and this was great!
Glad it was helpful!
Have you come up with a solution to keep it from vibrating across the floor? I have the exact same compresser and been using it for over a decade. Great video!
Not really. When I'm in the garage it may be a little annoying, but it just happens. When I'm on a job, sometimes I just put it on the carpet or a rug and that normally stops it from walking away.
its because youre missing the rubber shoes on the bottom of the legs
Can you leave air in the tank when done or should you empty it out after use?
Now, you get people that argue about that, but I honestly always have and have seen no adverse effects of doing so.
Thanks man

Can I replace the 1/4 coupler for a 3/8 coupler ?
I really think so, but not 100% sure. I have swapped out the connectors that I have, but not for a 3/8.
I needed help to actually fill up a tire. I was told to plug it in, let I fill then use it to fill tire. I’m lost and really needed help with that. It’s is not doing anything at all even after it stopped to fill the tank but there is not pressure to fill tire and I’m stuck. 😢
Here is my video for filling up tires czcams.com/video/sITnVKd8RaQ/video.html
Hi I just got one. Do I need to keep it on the whole time and plugged in? I used it with the nail gun and then it shut down and I felt like the pressure wasn’t there. Almost like I had to fill it up to 150psi to use. Am I doing something wrong
I am almost following what you are asking. You say you used it with a nail gun. What kind of nail gun? What did you have the regulated pressure set at? What were you nailing together?
@@AroundTheHome1 hi I bought the combo with the nail stample gun and the 16 gauge and 18 gauge. I fill the tank to 150 and I use it while running and then mi the it shuts off. I feel like I lose power. The only way I can really make the nails flush is with it turned on. 150 is what I have the tank at and it’s craftsman branded tools
Ok, that helps. First unless you are just needing to shoot like 2 or 3 nails, yes keep it plugged in and on while you are using a nail gun. Second, the tank does fill up to 150lbs, but you should have the regulator set lower then that. Each gun should list a max psi on it, normally very close to the air coupler. Those guns probably have a max of 110 psi and running it higher then that will damage the diaphragms. Also you might not even need the max psi. I normally find that using 16 or 18 gauge nailers I normally run the psi around 80 to 90. That all depends on what you are nailing together. These are trim nailers, so installing pine or mdf trim should be easy for that nailer. If you are installing oak or some extra thick trim then you will be maxing out the listed psi for that gun. I am not sure on those guns specifically, but many do have a depth adjustment on them as well. If you are having trouble with the proper depth, then check that as well. Hope that helps.
Thanks for not using 'annoying '🙂 music in background
Hey, no problem!
do you leave the pressure on when not using, or even nightly?
That's is a good question. First I would tell you to double check what the manufacturer says about your specific model. Now this is what I personally do, you can do what you want. I just turn it off and leave the remaining pressure in the tank. This is just the way that I grew up around shops, both mechanical and wood shops that would do the same thing with their compressors. Depending on how humid it is and how much we used them would determine how often we would open the drain plugs. ( video for that czcams.com/video/wHhwxTIojag/video.html ) After getting used to your compressor you will know how often to drain it. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the video!! Great job

One question- Do you want to "empty" the main tank after each use before you put it away? Any other special "start up" or "wrap up" tips - order of switch, unplug, empty tank, etc?
Mine is an old Coleman Powermate but much in common. I had to test switch and valves to figure out but this helped confirm.
Thanks for making! I watched a bunch of trial and error repair vids (which were helpful in their own way) before I found this simple intro, which was what what I was looking for! ("Why don't I know how to do anything practical?") Some of those have a lot of views, and their just screwing around, so I bet this kind of intro tour is what many are seeking.
I prob don't need most other vids but I'll hit "subscribe" as way of saying thanks again!
You don't have to do it every time. It really depends on how long you use it and how humid it is. Maybe start by doing after 10 times and see if it has any moisture in it. Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org/
@Love Always Catherine first, thank you for your question. Second, please start a new thread for your question because it is very hard to find when on an older comment. But back to your question. As long as you are regularly emptying it like in this video you are fine. And it all depends on how often you use it. If you use it a few times a month, then just empty it every month. Now, if you don't hardly use it but maybe a couple times a year and you are in a very humid climate, then I might suggest empty it every time you use it. Hope this helps.
Thank you bro! it was nice and very easy way explained everything.. I wish you could of add the maintenance part too.
I will put that on the list. Here is our video for draining the water on the compressor. czcams.com/video/wHhwxTIojag/video.html
Hi, can an air compressor break if paint dust gets into it?
Are we talking about a lot of paint dust? Like sanded paint dust, or paint overspray?

my mom wants me to air up her tire dw mom I got u
thank you for the video!
should I always fill the air compressor first before attaching the hose?
Should the air compressor always be off/not running after it's been filled before trying to transfer the air pressure to a pressure pot? Is it safe to run the air compressor while it is attached to a pressure pot?
Thanks for the questions. Let me see what I can do here. Ok, it is ok to attach the hose first and it is easier to attach a hose when the compressor is low on pressure. But you can do it after as well. As for the pressure pot.. Honestly I have never used one so I would first say do what the manufacturer says. But if it works the same as a portable air tank, which I would imagine it does, then it doesn't matter if your compressor is on or not when you hook it up to fill it. Hopefully that helps. Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
@@AroundTheHome1 Thank you so much for such a quick reply! I believe that this answers my questions :)
do you hook the hose after or before the tank is full?
Either, but it is easier to attach when there is no / low pressure.
How do we refill air back into the compressor ?
Turn it on?
