Great compressor

Date:November 1, 2011

"I bought this compressor on sale for $169, which also included the Mastercraft 2.5" framing nailer. Has been a great investment and has allowed me to complete several large projects. Buy on sale or when packaged with a nailer"

Tried twice, both times the motor seized.

Date:July 27, 2011

"The motor on the first one of these I purchased seized after about 2 weeks. It was returned to Canadian Tire who gave me another one. It seized as well after 1 day and very little use. Canadian Tire gave me a credit for the value of of the compressor towards other purchases. Although the compressor was not great, Canadain Tire's return policy is impressive."

HOSE....

Date:July 11, 2011

"Great compressor for around the home jobs toss the hose tho. That hard PVC hose will leave you pulling out your hair. This is not a suitable compressor for a air gun so don't even think about it"

PORTABLE

Date:December 15, 2010

"PORTABLE AND NOT TO HEAVY TO MOVE AROUND , WORKS O.K , YOU MUST FOLLOW THE BREAK IN PROCEDURES AS THE MANUAL STATES , I DID CHANGE THE OIL EARLY AND PUT A MAGNET IN THE OIL AND FOUND BITS OF METAL AS I THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE , IT DOES DO THE JOB , JUST MAKE SURE YOU DONT TRY TO OVER POWER THE COMPRESSOR , IT,S NOT MEANT FOR BIG JOBS , AFTER A BIT OF USE I DID FIND THROUGH VIBRATION SOME OF THE CONNECTIONS WERE LOOSE , JUST NEEDED TIGHTENING , I ALSO RE WRAPPED ALL THE THREADS WITH TEFLON TAPE AND MADE THEM AIR TIGHT , THE AIR HOSE IS CHEAP AND FLIMSY GET A GOOD ONE BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE STORE . 3 STARS BECAUSE OF THE AIR HOSE QUALITY. IT,S A GOOD DEAL ON SALE"

Good unit, but needs a few improvements.

Date:August 18, 2010

"I purchased this unit 4 months ago primarily for household and automotive repairs.

Pros: Does medium sized jobs well; included accessory kits work well. CTC offers a 3 year 'repair' warranty.

Cons: Hose too stiff and hard to work with; a lot of water seeps through the lines when using the blower attachment {even after purging the tank}; wheels inadequate and wobbly making the unit hard to manoeuvre - it really requires larger, sturdier wheels; the handle bolt holes were misaligned and I had to drill new holes to secure the handle and new bolts were required; at full pressure it had to work hard to remove lug nuts from my wife's car; and its quite noisy in confined spaces. (Does anyone have any recommendations on an upgraded 'muffler'?)

Summary: Handy household and hobbyist unit with a few improvements could be a solid unit.

Good compressor for home and garage

Date:July 2, 2010

"I have had this compressor and the Mastercraft 71-piece Air Tool Kit for a while now and they have been extremely useful around the house for various projects. The compressor really delivers and provides ample pressure for all of my needs. My only complaint would be the noise factor; compared to some compact design compressors, it is pretty noisy. However, with the 8 gallon tank, the motor doesn't really come on that often unless I am using a tool that uses a lot of air and needs constant pressure like the grinder. When using a brad nailer, the motor hardly ever kicks in."

So far, so good.

Date:April 10, 2010

"Ive had this compressor for about 4 months now with no issues. Mainly used for brad nailer, inflating tires, and blowing sawdust out the garage. The noise isnt that bad and it recharges fairly quickly. I replaced the original hose with a coil hose as the original hose was stiff and ackward to manuever. Other than that, im very happy with this compressor."

Decent

Date:January 22, 2010

"This compressor is definately not a good one for cold weather. If it is too cold the motor will not start and the hose is very stiff and hard to use if it does start. Other than this problem, it works quite well when it is warm and works well as a general purpose compressor."

Answer:

Fill to the required operating amount by using the oil sight glass to determine the proper level. The correct level is somewhere within the red-circle. Make sure you don't overfill or underfill.

How big of an inverter would I need (how many watts)?

Question:

I have a 1500 watt inverter, and I am wondering if this is big enough to run the compressor, should I ever want to run it from my vehicle. And if the wattage is sufficient, I'm wondering if there's any concern about the "modified sine wave."

steiner359

3 months, 2 weeks ago

Answer:

It's not big enough to run the compressor. A 1800-2000 Watt generator is recommended.

Can I use a 100ft hose with this compressor?

Question:

I want to buy a new rubber hose for this compressor. Is it powerful enough for a 100 ft?

lucyloo1

4 months, 3 weeks ago

Answer:

It will take longer time to pump up the tank and fill the air in the whole 100ft long hose before the consumer can use the tools, but after running a while, the tools can still be used as normally if only there is no leakage on the fittings and the hose.
