This is a great compressor that runs cool and it's quieter than a lot of maintenance free models.  I did the same modification with the moisture relief valve at the bottom as a previous reviewer did with 2- 90 degree street elbows, a 10 inch nipple and a 1/4 turn ball valveto avoid having to crawl on hands and knees to release moisture. .  I also drilled a hole in the plastic on/off switch cover so I could access the pressure adjustment screw without having to remove the plastic cap.  Additionally, I ran 2 couplers so I can run multiple hoses simultaneously.

Blown away

This unit may cost a little more but, it is well worth what you will spend, this thing has more options then my car, all that is missing is the side air bags. i have used this for two weeks almost non stop and i will never own a smaller unit after this one.

Great compressor

Very good compressor, hardly comes on with normal use. Plenty of pressure and air. A quiet unit for the size. Would highly recommend. Spend a little more and you will be happy you did.
