Default Re: Air Compressor

Thanks again to Sean for giving me some pointers. When you are in the market for the accessories such as air lines and hose reels, I searched for some time to find what I thought would be the most beneficial and cost effective - not the cheapest route.

For the Rapid Air system - see the link for the price. Best around, even better than the company, Eastwood, Autobody Mart and Amazon. Plus free shipping.

Because I wanted 3 air stations around the garage, I went to the company and purchased the individual parts needed to complete the air stations in the manner I wanted.

Finally, I wanted a nice air hose reel, quality, rubber line, etc, etc. This is what I found.

I have to say that I am satisfied to this point with the all of the products, installation and quality of the pieces. The Rapid Air system went together faster than I imagined. It was only time consuming because I wanted it to have the custom look. The people at Rapid Air when I called about a couple of pieces couldn't have been nicer and more friendly. The hose reel is heavy-duty. You will have to buy a whip hose to connect from the air station to the hose reel or fab one up out of pipe. I took the easy route and bought the preassembled whip hose with a spring and swivel on the end for longevity.

FWIW
