I've used this a lot for the last two years. Molding, tires, blowing out the shop a few times a week, and pneumatic tools. Today I took down a 25 year old bolted structure with an impact wrench and just thought I should give a shout out to the makers of this compressor. You can't go zip-zip-zip-zip with 8 gallons undoing corroded bolts, instead having to give it a minute break to build pressure back up after a zip or two or three depending, but plenty of a initial reservoir I thought. Even had a friend comment on how surprisingly quiet it is a number of months ago. Seems to work as good now as it did originally.
It did leak air around the pressure switch assembly in the beginning and I couldn't just tighten it a little because the assembly would hit the tank. Had to take all that apart, teflon tape it, and put it back together. It's been a couple years but I recall replacing a fitting.
Two things I thought about improving on it and one is the gauge. I have some wagon wheels that say 15 lbs and it's just a guess on the gauge included. Right now I set what appears to be about 15 lbs on that gauge... then tire gauge, add pressure, tire gauge, add pressure... etc until finally, close enough. The other, the drain cock. Thought about lifting the thing off the floor more with larger wheels and adding some to the front, then pointing the drain out the side with copper. Too many other things to do so I haven't got to it but I think about it every time I open that drain. As it is, I'm feeling around underneath the thing to find the drain and have my ears right near the 100+ psi exhausting after I open it.
I'd guess the weight empty is about 3-4 gallons of milk. Not that big of a deal. That's my experience. I'd buy it again for sure as it fits my needs fine.
