" ... It does the job, but it's noisy. ... "
" ... Sent the first one back because it made a terrible knocking/pinging noise when running - second one sounded the same - didn't see it lasting too long - I'm ex-military (as in not too skittish around explody things) and I have to admit I edged away from it while it was running . ... but that's how bad it sounded - ... "
" ... and waiting for 2 weeks to hear from them . ... "
" ... It is a bit louder than it specified but it is a quality product. ... "

" ... Be sure to order you two hoses. ... "
" ... Still it was much cheaper to buy learn how to use this compressor (along with necessary tools, hoses, fitting and supplies) than it was to pay to have a professional do it. ... "
" ... All tools are top notch. ... "
" ... So Far it seams to be doing the job looks good the only thing i dont like about this product its the release valve at the bottom other than that great quality thanks ... "
" ... Weldment, materials, components and workmanship. ... Evidently it manages its power well enough to arrive and maintain its pressure rating, and seems sturdy and well made. ... "

" ... Motor is loud. ... "
" ... what surprised me was how loud this thing is. ... does get loud initially as the air rushes out. ... "
" ... It's also REALLY LOUD. ... "
" ... It lacks the power to maintain the pressure and volume I need for even the simplest job. ... It even occasionally makes a loud rattle and banging noise. ... "

" ... Has never held air. ... "
" ... and the larger staple gun did not come with any staples.feeling very disappointed. ... "
" ... Both only work one nail at a time before I have to open the slide and close it again for the spring to add more pressure to the row of nails. ... you can only imagine the difficulties that has in tight places. ... "
" ... After I got the knob screwed on correctly it still would not hold pressure. ... "
" ... It appears that a screw head countersink was not drilled deep enough resulting in the raised head impeding the smooth flow of nails in the magazine. ... "
" ... I topped off the tires of both my car and truck and then bled the pressure off. ... "
" ... It was in the open position, so it would not hold air. ... "
