Rebel Auto Detailing Carts - Rebel Detailing Cart Review by Mike Phillips at Autogeek

What model number Is the California air compressor

[ducksfan]

I have that compressor and a Tornador Black. It won't keep up with it. You'll just get irritated. I put my Black aside until I get a compressor that will hold 90lbs with a steady stream of air flowing out of it. I'll probably be looking for a compressor that runs between 105/110 to 135+. Or, maybe I'll go two stage.

Nice cart! Too bad I have so much stuff in my garage I have no room for it. That & the wife would think I went over the edge of sanity if I got it. I think I went over the edge of sanity when I found AG! I don't think I am alone in that thought.

What LSP are you using on the new cart?

Thank you for the feed back. I guess I will have a separate air compressor.

You're right but keep in mind.... most air tools and ESPECIALLY the Tornador Black - are AIR HOGS


NO SMALL AIR COMPRESSOR CAN COMPRESS ENOUGH AIR FAST TO KEEP UP WITH MOST HIGH VOLUME AIR TOOLS


That's just how air tools work and I know this disappoints the heck out of so many people because everyone wants to use air tools with small, inexpensive air compressors, but in order to use high volume air tools you typically need an air compressor that costs around $800.00 and stand as tall as you do assuming you're between 5' and 6' tall.

Smaller air compressors MAY run air tools like the Tornador Black BUT you will quickly drain the air tank and you'll run the motor full out the entire time you're using the tool as it tries to keep up with the rate at which the air tool drains the air tank.

Tornador recommends 5.2 to 6.5 CFM @ 90 psi = This means you need a 2-3 HORSEPOWER air compressor with a 60 gallon reserve air tank and these are about as TALL as a man. So anyone reading this that wonders if the small air compressors that are common and inexpensive, like the kind on wheels you can plug into 110v electrical outlet are going to handle a Tornador Black or any other air hog air tool, the answer is "no".

Air tools are cool. But do your research and then plan accordingly.
