Hey folks, long time no see
Thought I would just share my experience today. Not a good one. Saw that SuperCheapAuto had a compressor deal, 2.5HP 120LPM, a tool set and 15 meter hose all for $200. I thought great, could use a compressor at the moment.
Get to the store, they have everything and I walk away happy. I get it home, spend ages setting it up, start it up and it was so loud. Didn't expect that, put it on some rubber mats and the noise dropped.
After the tank filled, it was time to connect the hose and test the thing out. That was when I heard the hiss of leaking air. I checked the entire tank and found nothing and worked out it was coming from the seal between the ball valve and regulator. All the glue type stuff on all the seals is ****.
Called the company up per the manual, told me to return it within the week. So I will hopefully return it on Wednesday.
So folks, be careful buying cheap compressors (I am sure you all know this already). This one had really good reviews though.
