Keene’s New Air Compressor

Keene’s New Air Compressor – This is a update for 2014 on the KAC1 air compressor. Since we made the last improvements. We have not had a single failure on the bottom end of the air compressor. We have had a few top ends fail just from high usage. About 200 to 400 hours the cup seals wear out and need to be replaced. We had a few reed valves fail however this is also due to high usage and simple wear and tear. Overall we are extremely pleased with the compressor. The only problem from a manufactures stand point is cost of the bearing went about 10 times.

These are some pictures of our New and improved KAC Air Compressor.
