I brought this air compressor home from a property we sold a few weeks ago. Finally got it off the trailer and into the shop door yesterday (skid steer). I need a couple young strong guys to move it about 3 feet to the left where it will stay. It is a lot more compressor than I will ever need but there certainly was no reason to leave it at the place we sold. I had to clean out and rearrange things. There was a bunch of hand tools where the welder now sits. One of the things I found when moving the tools was 4 sets of post hole diggers. I said to the wife, "who in their right mind has 4 sets of post hole diggers?" She said you just answered your own question.

Maybe you know already, but make sure you put some rubber under the feet when you bolt it down. We had bought a brand new compressor that about that size several years ago that we didn't put any rubber under it. It developed a crack in it, and manufacturer almost didn't warrantee it. We were lucky and they sent us a new tank.

You can also leave it on a pallet or at least enough of a pallet that's cut to size so it will cushion it.

The real question is who has 4 sets of post hole diggers and why?
I had more than that, tho admittedly, a couple had 1 broken handle. It got cheaper to buy a new pair of steel or poly handle diggers than to replace just the broken handle. One of my go to diggers was a pair of lineman split handle hole diggers that would dig 8' deep...inherited from my father. The handles would slip past each other allowing you to dig a straight hole without much difference in width top to bottom. They could be man makers or killers, even more so for teenage boys like my brother and I so many years ago.
You can still buy them new, they run around $250 from Oshkosh.
