This is the new one of the one I have and mine is 10 years old. It is 125psi max 2 gallon but has dual tanks.

Don -

That HF compressor you linked to in your initial post is exactly the same one I have in my baggage bay.

I've used it to fill the coach air system from the rear, adjusted tire pressures (both coach and toad), run a couple of air-powered tools, and some other miscellaneous chores.

So far it's done what I wanted it to, and, as a bonus, it's also very quiet, far more so than the one that was in the MCI.

FWIW & HTH. . .

I tried to follow that link and it took me to a page with about a dozen compressors on it. Not really helpful.

10 days??? Ok, lets get into it.

luvrbus · April 14, 2019, 10:44:10 AM

LOL 10 days is a long time for HF, I took back a electric pole saw 4 times in 1 week I finally gave up and paid 20 bucks more for 1 at HD.I will give HF credit they honor their warranty with no BS, how they do that selling junk is beyond me

Dave5Cs · April 14, 2019, 11:16:59 AM

There is a lot of good things at HF too. I like if it breaks we just take it back and most tools they replace. If I use their cheap spray guns I just toss them and get another one instead of wasting the thinner to clean them, LOL

Uh, Oonrahnjay said it on page 1.

Or 10 days ... I am SO done with HF ...

Cliff, the electric work best if you plug them in. The battery ones have to be charged. Oh, and they arent designed to trim sequoias.lol
You seem to have more trouble than most with Harbor Freight stuff.

Lol I believe they send all the stuff they warranty to Bullhead City to be sold again ,I don't really buy anything from HF.I have 2 sets of combo wrenches hanging on the wall for people to use none have walked off like my good stuff

.The free AA batteries won't even turn my camera on fresh out of the package

You guys are TOO funny... When I was running heavy industrial work I'd buy tons of HF tools for the crew, especially electric tools because when one went overboard & hit the ground - Wala! trash it & pull a brand new one out of the tool room. Could buy 10 HF to 1 Name brand so it all worked out well... Personally my total personal purchases from HF tallies at about less than 3 percent.

luvrbus · April 14, 2019, 06:36:18 PM

The HF drill master 4 amp grinder is junk my cutting wheels I buy from a local welding supply 1 blade will out last the grinder

chessie4905 · April 14, 2019, 07:08:58 PM

Yeah, hf free batteries, I won't touch. I'll take the free with any purchase moving blanket, flashlights, tarps, magnets, though. They many times have two or three levels of quality on their electric tools. Lately, they have been offering new improved items for many of their catgories. I'm just tired of spending the crazy money Snap On gets any more, and I don't use stuff as constantly as I used to.

Dave5Cs · April 14, 2019, 08:01:03 PM

Clifford do mean the 4inch grinder? I went through 3 of those in a year doing a lot of tile work. I don't like the pushup switch on those.

yep they are a PITA ,my Dwalt I bought in the 80's all I have ever done is replaced the cord once

Jim Blackwood · April 15, 2019, 08:42:59 AM

Now don't y'all be badmouthing those grinders. I keep about a half dozen of them on the bench with various wheels, brushes, whatever. Where else can you pick up an angle grinder for $20, turn around and trade in the one that just went belly up for free, get a pair of replacement brushes with each one and walk out of the store with 2 new grinders for $10 each? THEY ARE DISPOSABLE! I use them about like nitrile gloves. And if you manage your receipts every new grinder purchase is worth at least 2 grinders if you're honorable, much more if you aren't especially concerned about your business partners. While they last they are just as good as the name brands, can often be brought back to life by simply swapping in a new brush or two.

I've found it to be a much better deal than the Milwaulkee I used to use. Just not having to change wheels is a major advantage.

Dave5Cs · April 15, 2019, 09:35:13 AM

Milwaulkee, now that is another story. I got one of the fuel 18 drills and like it with the brush-less motor except for the sound. Worked well for 6 months and then it started not working. took it back and got another one and it started doing the same thing. I took it apart and found that the switch forward and reverse has a piece of metal that has a bend in it and thats what changes the F & R settings. It stopped sliding. Tried super gluing it and 1 month later it was doing it again. It works if i pound it on my hand in forward but reverse 1/2 the time. I got one of their sawzalls that was not the fuel one and its a pice of junk too. Going back to dewalt.
