Works fine, but buy it on sale.

Would Recommend

This is a small air compressor so its not really capable of much more then filling tires up and using it for nailers. If you use this compressor with a blow gun it'll just run continuously because the compressors pump just cant keep up. I have the regulator set to 90 psi and even at that pressure the pump cant keep up. You'll get maybe a few minutes of air and then it'll kick on and take a while to fill back to 150 psi. It takes about 5 minutes to recover from say 60 psi to fill back up to 150 ...

Great price

Would Recommend

I am a commercial contractor but I am using thi s for personal use around the house. It has plenty of pressure and 2 outlets. Only thing I think that is a set back is it a but noisy for being such a small unit.

Failure After 14 Months

Would Not Recommend

Regulator began to fail shortly after purchase but it was negligible. I thought it was the bleeder valve responding to overpressure from filling. As time goes on, tank would not hold pressure. Disassembled the regulator for inspection and found that it was assembled from factory with debris inside, it was poorly greased and o-rings were pinched and deformed. Tried to find replacement o-rings to reassemble but sizes and or part numbers are unavailable. The model is not even shown on craftsman.com...
