new compressor! Unboxing, first start SGS 50v 50 litre 3hp 14.6cfm v-twin compressor initial review

It is always a wonderful day when you get new kit arriving for your workshop!

Back in the day I got a 2hp 25 litre small workshop compressor for nail guns and small spray jobs. I loved it, it was reliable and did the job al be it a bit noisy! I even used it when spraying my Sons car many years ago.

Sadly, after what must be around 15 years or so of good service, it died.

So I had to go looking for a new one I have a big project coming up – restoring our Subaru Impreza and for that I’ll be using air impact wrenches, air cut off saws and files and more, so I needed something more powerful and with more air storage. After a lot of research, looking at all the factors, I opted for an SGS 50 V, 14.6 cfm, 3hp direct drive v-twin compressor with a 50 litre receiver.

It is great! Has twin outlets, high air delivery and is easy to set up.

In this video I unbox it, set it up and run it for the first time.

I will return to do a full review at a later date when I’ve had the chance to put it through its paces more thoroughly, but so far, it is excellent… much quieter than I expected too!

I’m possibly going to install air lines round my garage too to make my life a little easier, so watch out for that video…

If you are like me and like getting new tools then you’ll have enjoyed this video! Do subscribe to follow more projects soon!
