The HF pumps are certainly 100% Chinese...lol
You mean this one?Were you lucky and got one with the Baldor before they switched?
But even better7.4 cfm @100 psi beats 5.3 @90 any day. It won't matter for the impact wrenches but might for the die grinder. The tank size is just the buffer before the pump starts.
8.3 at 40 beats the pants off 6.2 at 40. That's comparing apples to apples.At any rate, Northern products has a 30 gal and it is rated at 5.3 recovery at 90 and 6.2 @40psi.
The Quincy at 24 gal, is rated at 7.4 @ 100 and 8.3 cfm at 40.
Thanks 2 bit.Since nobody has mentioned them I will throw out the made-in-usa Rol-Air compressors. They are the best.
Rolair Systems - Air Compressors

Buy a junk tank and a Harbor Freight 5 hp 2-stage compressor head. Put a whatever 5 hp motor on it and yo are good to go. Used 5 hp motors are cheap. I paid $25 for the one I used, and $15 for sealed bearings to replace the old oil cup bearings. I was able to use the PRV and switches from the junk compressor.
5 HP, 175 PSI V-Style Two-Stage Cast Iron Air Compressor Pump
Amazing deals on this 175Psi Twin Cylinder 5Hp Air Compressor Pump at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.www.harborfreight.com
The problem with big compressors is that they live in thn shop and nowhere else. I bought a little pancake compressor for portable air.
