Craftsman 12 Gallon Portable Vertical Air Compressor with Hose and Accessory Kit —
I have a compressor that my Father bought WAYYYY back in 1965. It is a Craftsman with a 3/4 HP motor and a 15 gallon tank if I am not mistaken. I have used it to Paint cars, use air tools, Sandblast..a miriad of uses..and it never once gave out on me..still runs great. I bought this one due to the Quality of the old one. I figured I could use a new compressor in the Garage just in case the old one ever dies. I have used this new one for about 8 hours total time now and have no problems other than the pressure regulator went a bit crazy. It seemed to drop down in PSI with every use last week so I took it apart and found some rust in it. I figure the tank was sitting for a long time before I got the thing. Anyway, if you take the stuff apart, be SURE to use some nylon pipe tape on the fittings or they will leak and do it all over a white towel that the Old Lady won't miss so you don't lose anything..also replace the drain port on the tank's bottom as it will leak if any rust gets into it..other than that it is a fine unit..At least for my use. Don't expect to use it in a Professional Body Shop, buy a 220 volt 3 phase if you want something that can handle the work. You get what you pay for and for goodness sakes people..in China, Ki Hyung Tao spent at least a day assembling this stuff, give the kid a break..he's only 5 !
