Tools, Sharpening and Power Machinery - info about Air Ace air compressors

I have searched long and hard to find what company makes and where to buy parts for Air Ace air compressors. Any info will be appreciated. Mike

Welcome to the forums!! Never heard of them. Do you own one and need parts, or are you thinking of buying one? If the latter, and you can't find parts, I would suggest purchasing a more known brand. Most air compressors today are made by a few manufacturers, the largest being Campbell Hausfield.

Exactly what is the compressor doing and what parts are you looking for?

i am considering buying one from the widow of a man that recently died--it looks like new--pancake style, about 3-4 gal, maybe 2-3 horse--she has no papers or booklet--just don't want to buy something i can't get parts for later on---she wants 125 for it--called several big parts houses, they never heard of it--she says about 3 years old-----mike

Not wanting to dissuade you from buying it, but you can get a PC compressor and 3 nail guns for $300, and I think the comparable compressor will go for about $199. With that difference in price, you get a new compressor, available parts, available warranty service, etc.
BUT, the one she has may give you years of use depending on what you do with it and how you take care of it.

I found a post here on DIY from 2007 they come from Big Lots.-

Heavens to Betsy ...
My Air Ace from Big Lots @ $160 (6 CFM @ 90 psi, 26 gal)) is powerful enough, but leaks as a sieve, and uses more oil than the old '48 Hudson ever thought of..
$160 down the drain !
I'd love to find an old American AirComp, after searching for 10 years, people keep them..

CU has never tested air compressors, may not even know what they are....
