Yea I don't think they are the "quiet" version, but the oiled version is much softer on the ears for some reason. Something with the oil less ones resonates louder.

That's normally the case with oil being quiet and having a longer life expectancy. Just remember to read the break in instructions. Couldn't believe how many metal particles came out with the compressor oil.
(My instructions on breakin was to run it with valve open for 20-30 minutes then drain the oil)
Congrats
on getting the compressors- I've hit at least 5 stores with no luckThey're a steal at $110
I think you are right. It seems like it's more of a deep chugging sound than an higher pitch annoying clapping.
Ive always attributed most of it to the fact that the motor and pump are "disconnected" from the top of the tank and not resonating directly into/onto it like an oil-less.

Yeah I have been seeing the 65qt coolers at stores around here for awhile now at the $299 tag. I will be watching them to see how they drop. The RTIC coolers and products are nice, I have a tumbler to replace my Yeti that I lost and for half the price it's the same exact thing! The coolers are copies of Yeti and don't carry the huge name so they sell for less.
I will be keeping an eye out for more coolers as I'm heading down to Key West this weekend, I'll check out the KW HD while I'm down there.
And how the hell does one store have 13 52" tool boxes? Not even on the floor trying to be sold. I would be super pissed if I was corporate and would lay the smack down on some of these managers. I guess this is all good for us though. I haven't seen 1 tool box, chest or compressor down here. Seems like nothing last's to .03 pricing and most of the time not even .06

Picked up another 30 gallon husky compressor earlier...showed 0 in stock but was sitting on the sales floor with the correct price on it. Surprised it was still there if they dropped earlier this week.
Also found one of the 16" Homelite saws last night. Again inventory showed zero but there it was hidden in the top stock.
I had taken a small break of not going in stores as much since the holiday season as a lot of the local deals dried up. Seems like the deals are picking up with the weather!!

HF = better than Husky. More sturdy / thicker gauge metal. Not sure about the Dewalt but I would think it's comparable to the Husky...HF being superior.
I have 2 of the HF bottom chests built into a workbench and the 41" Husky combo that went on clearance last fall. Both are great for the money I paid but if paying retail prices I would choose the HF.

I use a 27in Husky in the trailer and after a couple years of basic use it is beginning to fall apart. The top chest lock fell off within a couple weeks of ownership and the side table handle has been loose for sometime.

The regular huskies are okay, nothing special. The metal gauge is too thing to be considered good. The dewalt one is much nicer, I would say on par or slightly less than the us general boxes at HF. I mean, you get what you pay for usually. I personally really like the Kalamazoo boxes, which are a bargain, too right for my blood.
yep, the 3piece brushless case has that plastic drop in thing that sits on the tools... the 3piece brushed set lacks the drop in, instead it has a nice contraption that locks into the lid and folds down with the press of a button. it makes the case a lot more compact. i plan to keep that case and likely ditch the rest of the brushed stuff. the larger case from the brushed set is more suited for things other than drills imo. definitely a keeper though. may be good if you like hauling around an extremely comprehensive set of bits with your drills though.
my only concern with using the set as an extremely awesome backup set is the battery size/runtime. the compact '18-20v' brushless stuff nowadays makes more power than full size drills did just a couple yrs ago, so thats not a concern. definitely more power than i ever need.. plus its a hammer drill... cant go wrong at all. i will just be on the lookout for a deal on a larger dewalt battery. just in case i need more runtime.. brushless should be good on the batteries but who knows what will happen during use, since dewalt gives no meaningful specs.
i must have missed the sale on the cases... im impressed by them. they are about as nice and rugged as the husky technician's case from january-ish clearances

nice pickup. I have seen those floating around but didnt know they were pennies.
Was just unloading the recent 30 gallon I got earlier and it is actually the newer model C302H....wow.
Has model on the tank 'VIN' sticker and also is 155psi compared to 135psi. The hang tag with price sticker doesn't have the model number but indicates 150psi but same sku as the older C301H 135 psi.
These seem to be using the same sku and the only thing givng indication of price difference is the HD Barcode sticker the place on the hang tag. No barcode on the compressor at all.
Interesting...

Was this the pegboard that went clearance a little while ago? I see it on HD's website and it says $50.00 but not carried in stores. I checked the PCA and nothing comes up.

peg board is just mdf, a few sheets won't be heavy but that box will weigh probably 500 lbs. mdf is basically saw dust pressed so it's heavy as heck.
Who could be a ego fan boy? Aren't they like B&D ?
You don't need last price, there's always a way to get it out.
