Compressor Question

[49erRider]

Not sure where this goes so put it in general.

Well I picked myself up a 60 gallon compressor went to sears and got a regulator/filter.

Well when I set the regulator to 90 it drops when I use the tool then climbs back up. Anyone know why or how to fix this?

Sounds like the way you have it set up, the gauge is reading the tank pressure, not the regulator output.

I have Tank - Shut off Valve - Regulator - Hose. Now as soon as I use a tool it drops down and then makes it way back up, but if I set it at 120ish then it goes up to about 90.

What you are describing is 100% normal. No need to worry about it or try to change anything.
