I vote, skip this one. My compressor just like this just died after its second year of operation and I don't use it all that much. Mostly for tire inflation a brad nailer and a blow gun at low PSI. It's very noisy and the tank is way too small!charlese wrote:If you will be shopping for an air compressor for light duty, tires, blowing dust, brad nailer, etc. - don't forget to look at Sears. Here's one that will do those jobs and won't take up valuable room in a small shop. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1260 ... icked=true
You'll have to buy a blowing nozzle. OH! Too much info! I forgot you're a Seebee

I vote, skip Sears. I purchased a small tank type a while back for about the same $. Took the first one back(noticed machining debris in bottom of filler port when I went to add oil). Examined the second in the store before 'accepting' it and it did not have a cap for the oil fill hole! Checked the third one and currently am, using it(so far so good). It does not get much use! I have seen 'look alikes' since then at much lower prices.

I agree RE: Sears. They used to be my go-to place, but not anymore. If I'm going to buy something made in China (which is rare), I'll spend half the price elsewhere.

Not only is it no longer my 'go to place', but it is about to be no longer here.joshh wrote:I agree RE: Sears. They used to be my go-to place, but not anymore. If I'm going to buy something made in China (which is rare), I'll spend half the price elsewhere.
Yup! Closing up! Too many other places to purchase Craftsman tools(Ace, Kmart,Amazon?)

Go Figure
Two places to get a compressor were shown above. One from Harbor Freight, the other at Sears. What does that tell us?????
