    Looks like I can get the 8 gallon steel tank version with the 1hp motor for 180 + tax delivered.

    My older air compressor did get louder over the years (along with me, too!) :thumbs:

    Looks really good, nothing like a good man cave. Awesome way to repurpose the shack.

    Awesome ! Let me know how you like it ! Also
    ..been using these Milton High Flow fittings for a couple years. Noticeable differences...especially with the blast cabinet...and blow gun !

    Look forward to hearing what your thoughts are on it !
    I'm basically just using it to blow out air filters and inflate tires so far. It's doing great !

    I ended up ordering this as it came in at $135 vs $200. The ratings are 4.5 vs 4.6 so I'm hoping it's reputation will live up to it. I'm sure it's a California air compressor knock off......

    Amazingly quiet! It'll be used in the workshop for winter and then moved to the garage for summer months.

    Speaking of the workshop, I was puttering around in the workshop yesterday (basement) and heard what sounded like a vehicle outside. The dogs were upstairs and didn't go ballistic so I though nothing more of it. Later on, 99 lbs steps outside to get the mail and tells me "There is a package on the doorstep. The box says air compressor."

    Cripes, it was here in 2 days! Very unusual.

    Well............after looking at the compressor in your pics as compared to the size of the compressor I got, I measured the tank and it turns out to be a 6 gallon tank and not an 8 gallon tank as advertised. :headbang:

    I will be making a phone call today or tomorrow to see what will be done about that. :handshake:
