Ingersoll-Rand DD2T2

Where do I buy Ingersoll-Rand DD2T2 14.5 Amp 2-Horsepower 4-1/2-Gallon Oiled Twin Hot Dog Compressor

NOT 100% duty cycle as claimed, and very cheaply madeBy SawsAndPlanesSome retailers will claim this unit is made in the US...it is actually made in Italy. (And very poorly at that...)First off, the compressor arrived with no fewer than three air leaks. The dual quick-connect fitting, and both drain cocks, were installed with NO tape or dope. Worse, once I re-installed them PROPERLY, one of the drain cocks was next to impossible to close completely, and the other could not be turned tightly enough to completely close it off, including with a wrench. So I called IR customer service (1-800-SERV-AIR) to order replacements. While on the phone, I asked the tech about the claimed 100% duty cycle. Turns out it's nowhere even near that! He said that if the compressor cycles more than 7 times an hour, it is considered abuse.SEVEN TIMES AN HOUR?? That's roughly two pin nailers! Must be Ingersoll has a different definition for 'duty cycle' than the industry standard. Interestingly enough, it is only the marketing materials which say 100%...it is mentioned nowhere in the owners manual.And finally, because the unit was intended for the European market, the regulators are primarily denominated in bars, not PSI. The PSI scale is the inner reading (think km/h on a US speedometer), and is very difficult to read quickly. Bottom line...get something else. You can find a much better unit for much less money. Apparently Ingersoll has gone the 'value engineering' route, and that's a shame.See all 16 customer reviews... »» Read more about Ingersoll-Rand DD2T2 14.5 Amp 2-Horsepower 4-1/2-Gallon Oiled Twin Hot Dog Compressor.
