Info Compressor life

After a few failures of compressors, it's the worst feeling, of not being able to shoot ones rig. Panic mode sets in . LOL.

Nah, this is why you never throw out the hand pump?
Just topped off both my pcps with mine last week, just to prove its existence lol.
I have high hopes for the middle class of compressors ($1000- $2500 range) they seem to keep getting better and better, as long as parts are available, as a mechanic that is a pet peeve of mine!
@Solo1 did you get a price on parts to rebuild the Omega? Or is it just no worth it?
My Hill Evo is 3 yrs next spring (time flies!!) and so far so good.....i have a 50hr service/repair kit standing by just in case lol.

Don’t know yet exactly whats wrong . Hill hand pump won't work either. Have a shoe box that won’t work. Tired of spending money on compressors that don’t last.

curious to see how well the Carette hold up I have heard good things but never spoke with anyone that had one.

Me too! I put the Hill up against the Carette when I was shopping... Hill was cheaper, and more avaliable so I went that route but the carette blows the doors off it for speed of filling.
