Hey guys, I've been looking for a regulator for my co2 tank for some time now that will allow me to : fill tires, run air tools, and other various projects and air tools.
So far, most people that have a co2 setup, are running either a beverage regulator or a fixed 150psi balloon regulator or the such. The problem I see with both of these options is that, most beverage regs. have blow off valves set at around 50-60psi. That is too low psi to run air tools. The fixed regulator obviously cant be adjusted and 150 psi is arguably too high psi to run air tools (especially maybe a die grinder?) I know there are people that run air tools at this psi with no problems, but Id rather have options to run the air tools recommended psi.
Basically I found a good regulator from beveragefactory.com that I think will work perfect for me, so I wanted to relay this info to you guys. Here is the link:

The difference in this beverage regulator is the high blow off valve setting. You can adjust psi from 10 to 110 psi. and I think this would be perfect for our applications. One thing it doesn't list is it's CFM output. ? I think I'm going to purchase this regulator and see how it works out.

Make sure that the regulator stem matches the tank because there are more than one type of CGA fitting for CO2. Most are CGA 320, which uses a fiber or plastic washer as a gasket.
