Just yesterday I purchased the $69.95 HF compressor with the air regulator. I know this is cheap stuff and perhaps I wasted my money but I thought it might be a good way to start. If I become too frustrated with problems, I'll spring for the good stuff.
In any case, I unboxed it and hooked it up to the AB. Turning the regulator knob did nothing...wouldn't move. I kept messing with it and it started to move...seemed fine.
Here's the problem: I can adjust it to it's maximum of 58psi but when I pull the trigger, the pressure drops to 20-25 psi. No matter where I adjust the psi, it drops to the same 20-25 psi. The only place where I have control is from 10-20 psi.
I held the trigger back as I adjusted the psi and I never heard a difference in airflow until I got down to about 20psi.
I'm assuming a bad regulator. My intent is to call their tech line tomorrow and maybe go exchange it. Perhaps just get my money back if they tell me that's normal.
I'll appreciate any comments. Thanks!
