i have one liek that i think mines a 33 gallon though i would go for a bigger tank mine turns on alot when u working on a car other than that it gives you enough psi for me to break axle nuts off with my ir titainum and nice air tools make the diffrence to my gun is light powerful and very quiet but if u on a budget a compressor like that can get ya by and that gun u get with it has like no power could barely take a lug nut off

check out home depot.. they have a husky 50 some odd gallon OILED (much better) compressor.. a little more then what your looking to spend but in the long run.. itll be better... also that compressor doesnt come up on the link.. you gotta put in the part/item numer

I have a Craftsman compressor. It works really good, but because it's oiless I think it's loud as hell for a rowhome. I can't really use it at night because I'm afraid I'll wake up the neighbors.

Hey ... maybe I can sell it to you and I'll get myself an oiled compressor.

I used the same one a few weeks ago, it's the neighbors. It worked ok, but you can't use a die grinder or anything for more then a few seconds. It can't keep up, it powered an impact gun enough it seemed though.

i would stay away from the oil free. spend another 125.00 and get a husky 60 gal from home depot. they are the identicle comp as the craftsman 60 gal but cheaper (they are all made by campbell hausfeld). i bought the husky a few years ago and it always worked good..

I have a 33 gal Craftsman and I like it. It is pretty darn loud though. I had a problem with it flipping the breaker so wired it up to a new 20 amp one for just it and it still did it everytime it turned on. I'd have to flip it sometimes 10-15 times to get it to come on. I then changed it out for a 30amp one and it works fine now. I have a Craftsman impact gun that came with my compressor as a promotion and it works okay for taking off wheels and stuff like that but it isn't too powerful. I'd reccomend the Ingersol Rand Ti 2135. It's the best gun I've used and I've used several.
