Well, that's good to know. I'll keep that in mind for my next purchase.

Well, I had decided that I was going to buy a HF unit on sale for $19.99, including some sanding disks, but then I checked my e-mail this morning and found that I won a used CH unit for $12.50. So, that's what I'm getting. Cool. Thanks for that advice.

I understand that, and appreciate it. I guess my point is, I don't want to buy **** (HF), but I also don't want to spend $100+. I'm thinking that I'll probably buy the husky and hope for the best. Thanks for the replies.

I don't NEED high end composite - I won't use it enough for weight to be an issue, and with my light use a decent quality unit should last for quite a while, however, I prefer to support Made in the USA products... but I just can't seem to find US air tools. Thanks.

I don't believe Husky is still made in America, but neither is IR, nor CP, don't know about wiking or Snap On. I would prefer to get something good quality and made in America, but I just can't find pneumatic tools that are still made here.

I'm in the market for a right angle die grinder, and while trying to score a good deal on ebay, I did a little searching to make sure I knew what a good deal was... This looks like a pretty good deal: Husk@home_despot Anyone have any experience?

Wow, thanks for all the great responses. Steel? over brass, huh? Looks like I have some shopping around to do. Thanks for the advice on the i-guns too, great to get some specific models to look for. I'll look through the suggested links. Again, thanks for the great responses.

Noob here, got a coupla questions if you don't mind. I'm a fairly young guy, and I've been building my tool collection since I set out on my own 10 years ago... anyways, just got my first air compressor a few weeks ago. Didn't f around, got a used 5 hp/80 gal Ingersoll-Rand. It's bad a, but...
