Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Buying Air Compressor - NPC - NFC - NMC - OT

[Jeff Greenfield (coyote]

There are many tools where buying Snap On is worth the money.

However, there is a lot of stuff that they sell, which they buy from  
other MFR's, put their name on it, and mark it up accordingly. I  
suspect compressors are probably one of those items, although I could  
be wrong.

As for air compressors, if you want something that will last, avoid  
the 'hobby' brands (sears, Campbell hausfield, etc) and go for a  
commercial grade unit.

I have an 80 gallon 5 HP 2 stage compressor, that I bought in 1985.  
Other than minimal maintenance has needed nothing. It is made by  
Dayton Electric.
