Default Re: I need some feedback on an air compressor

If you have a Tractor Supply Company around check them. I bought a Campbell Hausfeld last year with roughly the same specs for less money from my local TSC.
I don't think I have a tractor supply around here. I'm also not fond of CH compressors. My last two were CH's and I wasn't thoroughly impressed, the current one has a tendency to overheat and it takes forever to build up air pressure. I don't plan on using a sand blaster, it's on my wish list, but I just don't have the room for it in my garage.

Tell me about it. I may have to get one until I get the compressor. Technically I have the funds for the compressor but that would seriously deplete the cart fund.
