So every now and then I score a great deal at Tractor Supply store or LOWES. This time I was in the Williamsburg KY TSC store with the wife picking up cat & dog food on March 19th. The store clerks were wrestling a 60 gal DeWalt Air Compressor model DXCM603 near the front door, not a mark on it, tags (MSRP $999.99) still hanging. Store manager was there, said would you want this air compressor? You can have it for $100 to get it out of my way. He stated the customer returned it said motor shot sparks out when he hooked it up. Checkout kid said, quietly I think he just needed the money back. OK I'll take it, hoping it did work.
Just got around today to buying the plug and cord, screws inside switch box had not been touched to connect power line. Wired it up plugged it in, turned on the switch anticipating potential fireworks. Nope! Started right up and charged to 175 PSI just like it was supposed to. Major deal score!!!
I've been limping along last 8 years with a cheapo Craftsman 30 gal air compressor that overheats and shuts down every 2nd cycle if much air is needed. NOMO!!! 😁
Setup in place:
