{OT} Air Compressor reviews

So. I decided to stop wrenching everything (lug nuts, mounts, my BACK!)
and get some air tools. I'm looking at a Sears compressor on sale. Here's
a review someone wrote:


Pros: it can blow more air than a Democrat.

Cons: I didn't buy it sooner

Like most other guys, I have enough Craftsman hand tools to choke a horse.
You don't buy them,you rent them. When you can return a 30 year old
phillips head screwdriver and get a no-questions-asked replacement, for
free, on the spot, you can't ...

I'll give some helpful advice: turn the compressor switch off when you are
not using it or it will turn on and scare the daylights out of you when you
least expect it, like when you're standing next to it with your head under
the hood or when you're under the car, or trying to squeeze between the
compressor and the car's bumper. #2 and #3 sons have a nasty habit of not
turning it off when they're done using it, and it always kicks on when I
least expect it!

I'm reminded of the ancient story of the fellow in bib overalls who brought
a paper bag into Sears Roebuck and asked if it was true that Sears
guaranteed everything forever. He was told "yes" and asked what he wanted
to return for a replacement. He said it was a spare tire cover for his
Model A Ford that had given poor service.
"Yep" he said "I had a flat tire the other day and put on the spare
tire....and that tire cover didn't even last half a mile!"

Considering my garage is RIGHT NEXT to my BEDROOM, I don't think this will
be an issue!! ;)

Actually, since I started this thread, I should take the blame...

I just COULDN'T resist ;)

(NOTE: I would have posted it even if it had said, "...blows more air than
a Republican!" ) ;)

I'm betting you'll wake up suddenly in the middle of the night (as I
have on more than one occasion) and yell out, "WTF was that??!!?? Ha
ha. I can't imagine getting along without an air compressor. They are
really handy. Only one bit of advice: Realize its limitations. The kind
most of us buy are fine for filling tires, running an impact or other
wrench and so on but can't cut it when it comes to a DA sander, blaster
or heavy painting.

I used to have a 10 gallon Sears air compressor that just worked and
worked. No complaints at all. (That was when I was living in a house
with a larger garage. Now I just have a little dinky one like this:

It's ok, but the Sears one was much nicer.)
