Craftsman Professional 60 gal. vertical compressor

[Powerwrencher]

I am looking at buying a compressor and was waiting for the right deal. Has anyone had experience with this compressor. I like it for the price, and i need the capacity for air. I was looking at IR compressors also and I really liker them since they run continuously so there is no loss of cfm during use unless i'm running 3 grinders. I wanted to put my money into an Eaton since i know they are fantastic compressors but 499.99 for a 60 gal compressor that puts out 10 cfm at 90 psi seems like a deal. Is this too good to be true. Most of my pneumatics are rated around 8-12 cfm. Please any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I was also planning on buying one of those, but then came across a few (I think) better deals, including what I'll probably get:

After dealing with too many noisy oil-free compressors I am pretty set on getting an oil-lubed unit with a cast pump, which I don't believe the Craftsman unit has.

I have the craftsman pro oil-free compressor. Don't get an oil free one, they are loud and run hotter than oil bath compressors. I only have mine because previous owner of the house didn't want to unbolt and take it with him, truck was too full with his wife's shoes .

I think you are right, I may be making this purchase also. I am going to investigate shipping fees and other misc.. stuff. I will keep you updated. Thank you for the response

That looks like a nice compressor. I was once on their trailer at a NASCAR race and they had a lot of cool stuff. Does anyone know if they still produce their air tools in the states (Ohio I think??)
