I was looking for a small air tank with hose and I found this one on sale. It is well constructed and not very heavy. I just wish it had a little longer hose, but it works just fine!...

MBNash says "The Craftsman 5-gallon Horizontal Air Tank is a Great Value" about Craftsman 5 gal. Horizontal Air Tank, 135 psi

MBNash — Wed, 18 May 2011 14:29:24 GMT

This tank is exactly what I was looking for. I needed an air tank to fill up low tires on vehicles that I needed to either get home or to the tire store for slow leak repairs. The tank held enough air to fill 4 - 17" tires (starting pressure of 15 PSI, ending pressure 32 PSI). The tank was easy to fill, transport, and use. The instructions were simple and easy to understand. In addition, I was pleased with the flexibility of the air hose.

bobch says "Surprisingly solid!" about Craftsman 5 gal. Horizontal Air Tank, 135 psi

bobch — Fri, 13 May 2011 18:08:55 GMT

Similar to other reviewers, mine holds air just fine. Filled it up and left it for over a week with no loss in pressure. Yup, the integrated hose and air chuck is cheap. My gauge is off a bit also.

Wasn't impressed with Sear's offerings for replacement hoses and there's not much elsewhere either. Great stuff online but the shipping made it crazy to buy. So, settled for a 1/4" Ampro and HD's packet of air chuck, nozzle and connections. Now, it's a useful little item. I wish it was 7 gal. also. A little bit bigger would be nice.

Mine came with a lot of slag and solder bits inside. Because of a lip on the inside of tank's port, you can't just shake stuff out. I took the valve off and taped a magnet to the end of along screwdriver and pulled out a LOT of junk! Solder splatter, MIG wire and tons of little metal bits that would plug the valve if the tank was upside down so that they could fall into the valve.

Parabellum says "Tank is solid, Everything else is cheap" about Craftsman 5 gal. Horizontal Air Tank, 135 psi

Parabellum — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 22:18:40 GMT

Everything attached to this tank works, but is cheap. The "valve" is plastic. The gauge is not very accurate, and the hose is short and poorly made.

That said, its convenient to have this around and mine holds air just fine. All I did was remove the hose and install a quick connect so I can use my regular air hoses with it. I don't have to touch the valve and the tank works great. It hold air for long periods of time, I've had mine full for 3 weeks now without so much as a psi lost.

FYI: you fill this tank as you would a tire, so it can be easily filled at the gas station. If you plan to fill it with your own compressor, make sure your tire filler doesn't have a simple regulator built into it, as some do. Mine stopped filling around 50psi, and it took me a minute to figure out why.

JoeyJingles says "Nice home air supply for bikes and wheelbarrows" about Craftsman 5 gal. Horizontal Air Tank, 135 psi

JoeyJingles — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 17:53:42 GMT

I bought one of these Craftsman 5 gallon air tanks before I got into a full blown compressor. During those days I was suffering from multiple flat tires and often would be in remote places when they were discovered. I would swing into the gas station and fill the tank and keep it in the truck for need.

Today the tank has been relegated to a garage life. With the 135 psi capacity the tank can air car tires but is mostly used for the wheelbarrow tire and neighborhood bicycle fixes. Ocassionally I need to blow something off which is mostly "me" after cutting on the table saw.

This tank is handy and will do many things for you and for the price is hard to argue.

twoWheelsOnly — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 01:28:07 GMT

I bought one about 15 years ago and it still leaks no air. The included hose is worthless but I wanted to replace it with the quick disconnect coupler anyway. The guage is relatively accurate. Overall, I am very happy with the tank and would recommend it.

Wow!! What a geat compressor for such a low price. The CRAFTSMAN 5 gallon horizontal air tank, 135 psi, provided a great service to my family the first day it arrived. We filled the tank and then fixed the tire on my rototiller and filled the tires of every bike that had been in storage for the winter.

I have trusted craftsman and for years and they have never disappointed and this little compressor is no exception. If you have small jobs about the house that need to be done, the Craftsman 5 gallon horizontal air tank, 135 psi, is the one for you!

ArtZ says "Don't buy. It leaks and the shut-off valve jammed." about Craftsman 5 gal. Horizontal Air Tank, 135 psi

ArtZ — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 01:52:08 GMT

I bought this for home use. It has always had a slow leak and won't hold a charge. I got it out today to use it and the shut-off valve is jammed, though I never did more than tighten it by hand (no wrench). Sears says that this has a 1 year warranty and is not eligible for replacement.

I bought a no-name tank at the local auto parts store and it works much better. It actually holds air for months at a time.

pdale says "Handy but has limited use" about Craftsman 5 gal. Horizontal Air Tank, 135 psi

pdale — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 05:43:26 GMT

First of all, the first one I purchased in the store had a leaking valve. Sears replaced it no questions asked. So I already own a Craftsman air compressor that i love. I'm just tired of dragging it out every time i need a little air so I thought this would be perfect. While its great for topping off tires and filling balls, it does not have the capacity to fill up larger items like inflatables. I suppose the first clue should be that it comes with a tire chuck already installed. I immediately replaced it with a quick release so I could attach other items to it. I will probably use it for my nail gun when I need something portable and maybe for blowing out computers and stuff. So I think for the price it's worth it as long as you know it's limitations.
