    2 Yong Hengs are better than one?

    I think a regular machine shop would charge you enough to buy another compressor. If you could find a retired guy with a small mill, that might be affordable. Setting a bearing with race is some very precise work.

    Hand Pumping With Sciatica

    Hand pumped my Avenger for a couple weeks, only to about 3000 psi. My back is not bad, but 70 year old knees and hips are pretty worn out. Amazon put the GX-CS2 on Prime day for $279, bingo. So far it is a great little compressor for direct gun fills. 2000 to 4000 in about 5 minutes and the...

    Battery size?

    GX makes a battery operated version of the CS2. It comes with a 18 volt 7.8 amp hour battery. Guessing the motors are in the same size range, a small motorcycle/lawn tractor battery of about 10-15 amp hours should do it. CCI is a rating of how much current a battery can put out over a short...

    Compressor to get for "lightweight" use

    Honestly I think you just got a bum one, going to happen at this price point once and a while, How many guys have you read about returning brand new guns because they leak, only to get them back and have no further problem. This forum is full of guys with CS2's & 3's doing exactly what you...

    Compressor to get for "lightweight" use

    I got my CS2 on Prime Day sale, today they are listed as in stock for $315 and then a $20 off coupon netting a $295 final price. Delivery is early next week and it is returnable at no charge, so if you get a pumpkin just rotate it out. The free return thing let’s me buy from Amazon and not worry...

    Compressor to get for "lightweight" use

    I just bought a CS2 on Amazon for $279 and it fills my Avenger to about 4000 psi and then the relief valve on the compressor opens. These budget import machines have a mediocre level of factory quality control. If you need to have it work without tinkering on your part you at least need to buy...

    Gauntlet.30 fill valve

    Imported digital calipers are very good and affordable, something every trinkerer should have in the shop. I just bought a 6” Nieko for $26 on Amazon and have been really impressed with it.

    Large diameter fairly accurate digital pressure gauge

    I certainly did not mean to criticize Geezerhood's gauge, the manufacture states good accuracy (1/2 a percent), plenty good enough for our purposes I would think. I just wanted to point out that digital does not necessarily mean better or more accurate. I did a bit of looking and the prices for...

    Large diameter fairly accurate digital pressure gauge

    Just a caution, digital does not necessarily mean more accurate. A digital readout just makes the determination for you rather than you interpreting the dial and pointer on an analog gauge. Accuracy and repeatability come from quality and design, and can only be really trusted if a "known good"...
