Actually, Lloyd, Stormy said that the unit was fine for
airing up tires, or inflating basketballs. Just that it
didn't have enough output for air wrench. And maybe with a
bigger expansion tank the duty cycle could be adjusted a
bit.

Pete, did you miss the part where Stormy was complaining
that it _didn't_
meet his "occasional home use" needs?

C'mon. I've been given a few burnt-out chinese compressors.
Their "5-
hp" motors are barely 1/2HP, equipped with motors the size
of my fist,
designed to last a few weeks past warrantee, then blow up.

If not for anything else, the repairability of the
better-named units is
what I'd go after. If I have to buy a new compressor every
two years,
what's the diff if I just spring for the 5-year replacement
price, and it
lasts 15?
