Right you are about the HB being pretty loud, but I used it on construction sites for years and noise was about the last thing I or anyone else on site cared about. Still I've used it around the...

I believe the HF 8 gallon compressors from a decade or so back were 115 psi max vs 125 today. In general there is nothing wrong with the HF 8 gallon compressor. For a long time it was a very easy...

Well first off, they have two different 8 gallon compressors available with the same specs at the same price but a different design and item #. This is quite common at HF, but in this case it's...

When you compress air, the water vapor contained in it turns to a small amount of water that can eventually lead to rust in the tank. There is a drain valve at the bottom of the tank to get rid of...

Someone might be foolish, but it ain't me, Nancy
First off, PROVE to me the 8 Gallon 2HP HF compressor from 15 years ago is different than the one selling today. It looks identical to me. PROVE ...

Zero rust comes out of my parents' Craftsman tank, despite years of heavy use in semi-humid Oregon. You know why? Because enough oil passes the rings that the entire tank is coated in a film of...

Comparing a 15 year old HF product to a current one is foolish. They change designs, manufacturers, and quality so frequently that they likely share nothing in common.
And the entire purpose of...

I'd never consider, or recommend, buying a 30 year old compressor unless I planned on replacing the tank. It's very likely the tank is nearly rusted out, and if you've never seen the aftermath of a...

People pay a premium for CAT compressors because they are quiet. If you don't care about noise, of course you can do better.
