Customer Review: Good
I too bought this compressor from Costco and it came with a finish nailer. I have used it extensively and am very happy with it. It isn't commerical quality, but it's perfect for anyone's home workshop/garage. Obviously it won't run tools that require huge volumes of air for extended periods of time. ie. you can't use a die grinder for minutes non-stop, but you can use a die grinder you just might need a little patience now and then. All compressors are loud, this one is no different. It does not run continuously, so get a longer hose and put it further away if it bothers you. The weight is exactly what you'd expect, for a 4g compressor like this. FWIW, I like the convenient handle to lift it with.
Customer Review: incomplete package
As someone who is new to the Air tool game, I didn't want to spend alot of money seeing how I do not use air tools regularly but wanted to try them out.To get longer service life than oil free units, This compressor is an oil lubricated unit and yet it does not come with oil! I guess thats one way they can cut costs... It also does not come with a quick connect fitting at the output end, but rather has female threads that you screw an air hose into. I saw this compressor for 139.99 and put it on my wish list. When my wife went to buy it it jumped to 149.99. Now, 2 days later its back to 139.99-VERY SNEAKY< AMAZON! I got the free shipping and it only took two days to get here, so I shouldn't complain i guess. The manual is not very well written at all, so take your time and read it over a couple of times! When you get this compressor, you will have to go out and buy; 1 bottle of mobile one synthetic motor oil(10w30)for abot 5 dollars, a 1/4 inch fitting and quick connect(about 12 dollars). Now you are ready to plug in a hose and air tools.I am extremely happy with this compressor-it really isn't any noisier than other compressors in this price range-lets face it-compressors are a power tool and thus are loud!I did not find the noise that bad at all. It produces 5cfm at 40 psi, 4 cfm at 90, so it will run alot of tools besides nailers on an intermittent basis. It produces 125 psi max, and rycles when the unit runs down to 100psi(about 21 shots on my brad nailer) and does not cycle long. My total investment to get this up and running was still less than 200 dollars which is not bad for an oil lubed compressor. This unit would have been 4 or 5 stars if it came with better directions, oil, and a quick conect fitting on the end.
