I moved 2 of my cars to the back of my house to  work on them without having
the local code enforcement people shut me down, only to find that I could
not find anywhere to plug in my compressor. It would reach atbout 50 psi
then go hmmmmmmmmmm then it would trip the fuse. I tried a few outlets all
the same. Being a beautiful day and determined to work on the car I rented
one from Home Depot only to find it would not run at all, tripping the fuse
as soon as it started. Is this common with 110 compressors?, what do most of
you use? 110? 220? gas? I have a 4 hp 20 gal Coleman. I finally went back
and picked up a gas model (already 3 pm) got 2 hours of sandblasting done
and had to call it a day. Total for day, 1.5 hours pushing 2 cars around
(don't run), 4 hours trying to get compressor, 1 hours sandblasting,1 hour
unclogging sanblaster (HDepot compressor has no water trap), 1.5 hours
cleaning up mess.
