ETCG's New 80 Gallon Bendpak TS-5 Air Compressor & Air System -EricTheCarGuy

This compressor is BRAND New (2015). As soon as purchase information becomes available I'll post it here. For now, here's a link to the specs on the TS-5 compressor.

BendPak was able to hook me up with one of their prototype air compressors, the 80 gallon TS-5.

**Note** many of the issues I pointed out in the video have been addressed and corrected. As I mentioned the unit that I have was a prototype. BendPak took my feedback and used it to correct those issues.

The TS-5 has a 5hp electric motor and a cast iron 2 stage pump. It fills from empty in just over 6min. It's one bad mamajamma. My 25 gallon did well for a time, but now that I'm in the new shop, it was time to upgrade to a 'big boy' system. Between the new compressor, and the 3/4" black iron pipe and fittings my land lord gave me, I'll never want for compressed air again. Sure, the compressor kicks on when I use my air tools, but the pressure never drops and my air tools are working better than ever as a result. Strangely, it's also quieter than my old 25 gallon unit.

I didn't run a chiller/dryer on this system and I'm sure that some of you will have issue with that. However, I haven't had ANY issues with moisture in the lines. In fact, my moisture traps have never had any water in them. I drain the tank every evening and that seems to be sufficient.
