hey guys it's Caleb here and today I'm going to show you the Lincoln L6V air
compressor. Now this is a super compact and lightweight air compressor.
It is oilless which means that it's basically no maintenance. It has a 1.8
kilowatt direct drive motor that is capable of producing 220 litres of air
per minute, along with putting out a max psi of 116. It has a six litre tank and a
built in handle for easy transportation. Weighing in at just over nine kilograms
it's small enough to take with you in the car to a job site or to use on or in
your work bench. It has four rubber suction feet which helps with stability
and reduces vibration. The adjustable pressure regulator is very easy to use
and it's centered right next to the pressure gauge and the easy to connect
to nitto coupling. Simply turn it clockwise to raise the pressure or anti-clockwise
to lower the pressure .
Now today's test I'm gonna see how many nails like in fire before the compressor
kicks back on to repressurize. I'll then time how long that takes to repressurize
along with then finishing off the rest of the clip. I have a 65 millimeter
brad's nailer and a 65 millimeter coil gun. Whether the air compressor can keep
up with the guns firing constantly, we'll see.
Okay so the air compressor is set to 116 psi which is its maximum. You'll watch
the pressure slowly dip down with every nail. Then I'll put a timer on the video
to see how long that takes to repressurize again back to full so let's do it.
So that was pretty quick. So now what I'm going to do is fire off the rest of this
rail just to see how it copes with it having to repressurize while I
continuously fire.
So there are 50 nails in that rail so take out the six that I fired initially
and that fired just then 44 nails non-stop and each one of them it sunk
into the same depth. There wasn't any loss in pressure. Obviously the engine in this
thing really kept up with it. But what I'm gonna do now is try the same test with a
coil gun just to see if that handles any differently.
So you can see there we've got six out and they are all exactly the same depth
so no difference whatsoever. All right now I want to do the same that I
did for the last one fire off 44 nails just one after each other let's see how
it keeps up with the tank pressurizing.
So as you can see there I actually lost count and ended up firing 54 instead of
44 more nails but these were all kept pretty much the same depth.
Obviously this is going to some soft wood so if you were using a thicker nail
longer nail into harder wood they probably wouldn't get the same results
but for this example this actually ran a lot better than I was expecting. For such
a small tank and a small engine that really kept up with how fast I was
firing these nails. So the last thing you want to do at the end of the day is
release the pressure release valve at the bottom here. This will help clear out
any condensation in the tank that'll just help prevent any rust build up and
prolong the life of the tank. Let's do it now. So as you can see there's a little
bit of condensation there and by releasing that out now this tank will be
kept fresh for next time. So there you go guys the Lincoln L6V air compressor.
I have to say as well the noise wasn't too bad when i had my earplugs in and was
firing these guns this kind of just disappeared into the background so it's
more than bearable. Look if you have any questions about the air compressor or
the guns that I use today leave them in the comment section. If you liked this
