Good experience, October 31, 2007
By James01 from Swansea, SC

"In my business of framing houses I have to have an air compressor to run nail guns. I purchased this air compressor in January 2006 so I have been using it continuously and have not had any problems with it. I feel this is an excellent purchase for a portable air compressor which is capable of running several nail guns at one time. Also, the price is reasonable. Good quality item."
