Air compressor

Directions need to be larger print

Just received it, and it looks nice. However, one wheel was somehow punctured; I'm unsure how that happened. Despite this, I can still use it, and it seems this issue occurred for another reviewer as well. I ran it without holding pressure to break it in and then used it on my blasting cabinet. It performed as expected. While it's a bit loud, it's not the worst – I've found oil compressors to be quieter. There was a moment when it stopped pumping for a few seconds; I'm uncertain if it was a thermal limit situation or if it was locking up. I'll make sure to use it further to assess its longevity and will report back if it fails. Nevertheless, it worked fine after that brief interruption. If you don't need a 10-gallon capacity and higher CFM, consider the $100 Bostitch 6-gallon option. Opt for this 10-gallon compressor if you require a larger size and higher CFM and want to save money. For tasks like using trim nail guns, smaller compressors may suffice. If you're seeking long-lasting quality, be prepared to invest a bit more. I have a belt-driven Dewalt in the garage, and it has proven to be excellent – built like a tank.

The air filter was damaged upon its delivery to me.

I found this compressor to be reasonably priced for its size. It remains to be seen if it is a high-quality product over time. I appreciate that it comes with two connectors, one for full pressure and the other regulated. It operates more quietly than my previous oilless compressor and retains pressure when turned off. Despite some oil leakage during shipping, there was enough left to fill the compressor. The plastic shroud had minor cracks on two sides, which is acceptable considering it was shipped all the way from China.
