This Husky 20 Gallon Air Compressor failed during a morning masonry project. We were using the compressor to cut bricks for a fireplace hearth project. Today, we are working to repair this economically priced air compressor. Although these compressors may be considered disposable by some consumers, they are a solid option at an affordable price for the average DIYer.

We have used this compressor in our shop @2StallGarage for just under 2 years. This compressor works well for small to small/medium sized tasks. Some things we've done with this compressor are, paint autos, paint cast iron stoves, masonry projects, ATV restorations and more.

Although this compressor is great for a beginner and even the average DIY shop, we would not recommend using this compressor in larger unfiltered or filtered air supply systems due to the compressor not coming with the option of an air filter. The air intake is a conduit tube that would normally be used to shield automotive wiring.

I believe we paid around $215 for this compressor. You can now find them around $100 online, if they are in stock.

It appears they are no longer manufacturing this model, therefore if you are going this route, you will likely want to look for the next latest line or model of the Husky 20 gallon compressor.

Total cost of repair at project completion: $7.00 (approx.)
Total labor time of repair: 90 min (approx)
