    Dear beamerstrumpet, mjv231, & Friends

    I have the same 21-gallon Harbor Freight compressor and it works fine with the Tornador Black.

    One of the Black's advantages over the classic Tornador is less substantial air requirements.

    Re: Air compressor

    Sorry to bump an old thread, but do you guys still like the 21gal Harbor Freight compressor still? When using the tornador black are you able to use it for a good while before it loses pressure?

    I've ordered the black already, but am still contemplating which compressor to buy. Thanks!

    I just purchased this compressor and the Tornador Black. I did a quick test with the regulated pressure set to 90 psi and held the Tornador wide open. The compressor was able to keep a continuous flow of about 75-80 psi after the compressor kicked in. Quick bursts and short runs were not an issue. If you hope to run the Tornador for extended periods of time you can expect the compressor to be running and maintain approximately 75 psi.

    My portable compressor is perfect for remote jobs where all I need is the ability to blow out microfiber pads to keep them clean, and even with that short blast of air the compressor motor will kick in.
