I usually share the same idea when this post comes up, and I'm heavily into the cobalt line, but there's no reason to buy this over the ridgid version. The ridgid version is the exact same compressor, probably produced in the same exact factory, but the ridgid comes with the lifetime warranty (service agreement). Might as well get a lifetime warranty for the same price vs 1 year.

I only have loyalty to battery systems. DeWalt and Kobalt. The rest is a mishmash of quality for frequently used tools or great deals for tools I'm not sure how much I'll use it. I bought the Bostitch pancake combo years ago, before I knew about the Ridgid and CSA. Bostitch/DeWalt was good about replacing the bigger nail gun when it was faulty, but yes I'm on my own now if something breaks.

Help me understand a couple things, please.
The rigid isn't on sale right now, I'm seeing $129.99... so I'll assume you're recommending we wait until it matches this price, but
The rigid states : Manufacturer Warranty - 3-Year Limited Warranty. So what do you mean by "comes with the lifetime warranty (service agreement)"?

looks like they don't give lifetime warranty replacements for this based on the comments?
I'm curious as well. They all look like they come from the same factory. Rigid has the best warranty. All I want is something for car tires and bicycle tires to get to 150 psi. Menards has the Bostitch for $114 after rebate. Is that much better?
TIA

What battery system are you in? A pancake compressor is really over kill for car tires/bike. Are you going from flat to fill or just top off? I bought this when it was around $30 and I use it every couple weeks. I'm thinking of buying this from Lowe's. Any recommendations? https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-K...1002183680
caveat would be, this is not good to do a full fill. it'll burn out. it's really best for top offs.

Thanks, ToolsForDad, I agree with your observation. I did go ahead and buy the Pancake. I'm sure it is overkill, but I am about to find out. I was shocked that just a decent hose, and simple accessories set me back another $40. :o)
