OK, the compressor arrived this morning, so I'd like to get it set up ASAP.
After looking at the tiptools site, it appears that there are a couple of
ways to plumb the air.
My first question is- do I need to filter the air before it hits the
regulator? This seems to be the most common setup- but filters that can take
the 175psi output pressure seem to be more difficult to find than those that
are rated to only 150psi. Ideally, I'll tee after the filter and regulator,
and put a lubricator on one branch for the tools that need it, and leave the
other branch clean.
My second question is about tool options. It seems that the favorite 1/2"
impact is the I-R 2131. Has anyone tried the new 2131QT (the quiet version)?
If I remember right, it's supposed to be ~12dB quieter than the standard
2131.
What's the favorite choice in a 3/8" air ratchet?
Decisions, decisions...
Thanks for your help!
