*Construction seemed sturdier than other units I considered **MyBest.Tools** Noise level was reasonable. Good pressure and cfm capacity for a small reasonably light compressor.*
I reshingled my whole roof with it, never missed a great
*After years of hauling around a large,💫 **allabout.wiki/PORTER** heavy, loud dewalt air compressor (that ironically was advertised as quiet, supposedly 78dB), I bought this. Facepalm. While it is not ‘silent’, I find myself chuckling every time I use it, sparing all my neighbors the terror of my former compressor. I use for inflating tires, impact wrench, finish nailers. Absolutely love it. And I store it under the garage sink in a 24” cabinet. I paired with a coil 1/2”, instead of a my former 50’ 5/8” hose that I had to lug across the yard from the shed, unpleasantly uncoil.... this little guy is light and portable; just a joy. Impact wrench is still capable of easing lug bolts, flywheel bolts, crank pulleys... just allow for a tiny bit of recovery now and then.*
Have the same compressor. Bypass valve failed almost right away. After removing, disassembling, cleaning, and lubing the valve, the compressor works great (it would not restart with air in the tank).
I have the six gallon for a year now. Excellent,,!
I have this compressor. For $175.00 you can't beat it for a home garage compressor. It's not a full blown automotive shop compressor. If that's what you are looking for then go by an Ingersoll Rand for a couple grand. I mean seriously, oh my, it lost pressure when running a tool continuously, seriously??? It's a good compressor.
I agree. It’s been great and I will run a shop tool intermittently. For the money it’s well worth it
I just bought mines to air tires , maybe the occasional for car work or house repairs.
It seems like a okay. Deal for the price they sell at i actually am planning to put one either in its own enclosure or purposely built closet in the garage for occasional maintenance and minor repairs I might use it to paint or do a small sandblast job who knows I’m looking kind of foward to what type of upgrades or improvements peopl come u for this compressor as it appears to be a very well priced unit which i think will sell pretty well for Harbor Freight and i knew they had sold many of their older units they sold for years at the lower price range or entry level
If you're going to build an enclosure for it. Just remember compressors need good airflow. They can get very hot without it. And it will shorten the compressor's life.
Don't worry about the haters this is a nice compressor, I have one Thanks🙏✌
Glad i cecked this things jot worth it for me deffenitly gonna go with the kobalt 20 gal
Nice truck!
Abdullah Al-Shimri thanks 🙏
It wont blow out a small zone sprinkler system. Bought a husky 30. Much quieter and does the job.
Probably because it's 10 gallons larger....
Is it enough pressure to clean out air filters for mowers etc?
I just bought one, it came with one wheel!!
Paid $125 for mine (display unit) have had it jusr over a year Plenty of pressure and when teamed with a 7 gallon portable tank plenty of volume. Make sure you drill the water frequently I did the regulator delete (swapping the safety valve and the outlet fitting ) DON'T DELETE THE SAFETY VALVE!!!!! Increased flow considerably (if a regulator is needed use an inline)
I'm a width of a gnat's eyelash of getting this compressor. How has the compressor performed with intermittent use of an air impact and or an air ratchet rated for 5-6 cfms at 90 psi?
Intermittent will be fine. Mine still going strong. It’s loud but that’s not a big issue for me
iuploadvideoz thanks. Did you buy the extended warranty?
Good vid and tips👍🏽
Nice unit and good value, wheels look too small for uneven terrain.
How's it holding up?
wheels are a pain in the ass to put on..
Hey, I just got the same compressor but mine won’t build pressure to the full 135. I heard you say it stopped at about 130. You have that issue too? I’m wondering if that’s typical of compressors, being this is my first one, or should it build to 135 as advertised? And am I worrying too much about 5 psi?
Then it appears to leak a few psi soon after it’s done filling, but then stops.
I’ve noticed it vary from 125-135
It needs to break in. Give it a few months
Good reason to take it back like me, basically a free rental for a month then I bought an 80 gallon husky
Mine does the same brand new im gonna turn cut off switch up a little so it goes to 135 i think they set.it like that at the factory
how tall does it sit?
Are you still useing this compressor with no issues
Wow that thing would drive me crazy. Man if you want something you can talk while it’s running maybe try California air from Home Depot.
Not everyone wants to spend 400 to 500 dollars for one idiot
i just need a compressor to fill a semi tire or working on my car once in a wile
Vern Toad this one will get the job done
Dang, that thing is loud!
Just purchased and set up mine this evening, yes, it is loud at first during the initial run and break in and I thought OMG!!! wow is that loud and then it gets much more quiet. There is a pressure relief check valve on the very top that was creating all the noise, once it ran for a few minutes and the valve closed it quieted right down.
Is it okay paint with this
StayBlessed God'sGift if you are continually spraying you might need a bigger one. But it will get the job done
I just got one for 154 bucks out the door.
LS DEMON good deal
@@iuploadvideoz it was on sale for 169 and I have a friend that works there and I got another 20% off.
I need a friend like that. Lol
you think this thing is strong enough to paint a panel on a car? i want to spray as much as possible without that compressor having to kick in lol.
I was wondering the same
@@thinshadow6669 czcams.com/video/kYHltMMuTvs/video.html
problem is, that is a west coast set up, im in michigan, and they omit the inner sleeve you have...
I’ll buy the original 21 gal model
Dang as loud as their oil-less compressors.
WV591 it’s loud. I made a cover for it
Its been 2 years, my guess is you found out that compressor was junk. Let me know what you think now.
It's still good
Use a different blower example
they tout these on HF website but then dont carry them in stock so you'll buy the cheaper kinds and waste your money.
135 psi isn't good ,you only can run limited tools ,the 20 gall oil free Craftsman is the best for work on cars 150 psi
I’m sure anything craftsman is far superior. But this one is great for a budget and it can run an impact decently
Ok well the McGraw 21 oil less compressors are up to 175 psi
@@chromaticvisionstudio5489 Yea. But $60 more on sale.
@@iuploadvideoz Most tools works at 90 psi. Higher pressure only mean that you can run more than one tool at a time. It has nothing to do with performance.
Way, way too noisy.
BushPilot444 agree
too loud for me
Ur mic really realy sucks
Meeso Hunny I agree
"Real men don't need an instruction manual"
You just proved you know nothing.
Dave Theknave disagree
Disagree as well.
My dad couldn’t even put his together I had to put his together and I had to use the manual dumb asses who don’t use the manual fuck shit up
I can know nothing and still not need instructions
To weak for real power tools
