3 gallon Compressor $29 at home depot YMMV

might be an overstock item in your store and marked down for stock leveling

oil-less= LOUD

$29 for me in stock in Chicago. Thanks OP. I'm gonna hold off this time though, the reviews aren't too good.

thanks OP showing 49 for me

I've never been a fan of anything less than 6 gallon compressors. Something this size would run all the time to just keep up with basic hand tools. It's a good price, but better off spending the money on something a little bigger so you don't have to stand around all day waiting for the pressure to build up.

out of stock for me.

On the size and sound - yep you guys are right -oil-less is loud, and only 3 gallons means constant on/off and waiting for pressure.

The big plus side is the low weight. Get the big one for the garage, and this one for around the house. I've even used a similar one for quick fencing jobs out on the farm (no need to bring a generator or a super long chain of extension cords).

wtf is this HDX crap they keep bringing into their stores? I wonder if this is on par with Harbor freight quality. At least there you know what you're getting.

is hearing protection included?

I'm pretty sure these are overstock leftovers from Black Friday. They have tons left at my local HDs
For $30 you get what you pay for (yes I bought one). It's loud, runs near constantly while you are using it, but it's very lightweight and portable and works well for me for driving a handful of brad nails on small projects rather than running 150ft of hose from my good workhorse compressor in the garage to an upstairs bedroom just to put up a small trim piece.

I picked up the last one at my home depot. Was wanting one of these cheap compressors for some simple things like blowing up sports equipment and tires, but didnt want to drop $50 with the bad reviews. For $29, i pulled the trigger. Hell I even bought the $6 2yr replacement plan. At least with this no longer being available, if it sucks and break then I can exchange it for the newer version.

I used this for the first time today. I bought it because I have had some trim I have needed to install for about two months and I had been putting it off. I bought a nail gun at the same time I bought the compressor. The nail gun was bad. I had to exchange it, but the once I had a good one, the compressor worked great. It made short work of the trim job. I always had plenty of air. Never had to wait for the compressor. It would turn on every 6 or 7 nails or so. As far as loudness, it doesn't seem that loud to me, but I have no point of reference. It certainly isn't as loud as say, a circular saw, while it is louder than say, a power drill. For $29, it certainly did what I needed it to do.

There was another one in the store in the clearance section that looked identical to this. I went back and forth between them multiple times trying to figure out what the difference was. Eventually I concluded the only difference was this one had an orange knob for adjusting the pressure and the other one had a grey knob. The other one was $79 marked down to $52 in the clearance section. I actually found the one I bought for $29 with the other compressors when I went looking for the nail gun. The other one did have a different sku number though, so make sure you look for the one with the sku # in this post, which has an orange knob. I think people are right, this was the one they had for black Friday for $50. When I bought mine earlier in the week I had taken the last one, but when I went back to exchange the nail gun today, they had a couple more on the shelf.

HDX is Home Depot's own brand. (Insignia = Best Buy, Kirkland = Costco, etc.)
