Don't know myself, but it seems like Sears and HF get a lot of their power
stuff from the same places overseas. The unbranded import stuff my supplier
carries often is identical in castings to Sears.
With Sears, if you have to plug it in, it generally sucks.
But, at least you can get parts from Sears, even tho they might be priced
10x that of the equivalent hardware item--which of course you can't use, cuz
Sears changes a tooth or sumpn.
Engineered and designed in America, tho.

I currently use a Harbor Freight powder coating gun, but am considering
replacing it with the Sears Craftsman model. I'm thinking of replacing
it because my HF gun occassional surges, putting extra powder on the
pieces I'm spraying; and I get a lot of powder build-up in the barrel,
which gets messy when its time to blow it out. I also seem to get more
overspray with it than I would expect on small-diameter tubing. I find
the Craftsman gun appealing because I wouldn't have to run a noisy air
compressor. Has anyone tried using it, and if so, could they share its
strengths and weaknesses? Thanks.
