   Mike went to their web cite and these all look to be industrial machines.All that were displayed were reciprocating and rotary screw models. I need something simple and practicable. Thanks, I may give them a call and find out if they have something cheaper. Anybody have an opionion on Home Depots Husky models?

   Merle, tried to find the same compressor I bought years ago, had as much luck as you did. Call them, probably save time .I have used a number of compressors thru the the years, never used the Husky though.

   Do you have a Sears service center near you?  If so, get there Quickly!

   The one down the street from me has a (typical) Duke's Mixture of Fantistic Bargains  on compressors right now.  I dunno why but they seem to keep hauling those big puppies in -- I mean those slobberin' St Bernards that hold 33 gals of air at 150 psi and promise 6.4 cfm at 90 psi.  (My oiler spits 6.9 @ 90 but it's only a 25 g tank.)

   Well... since those are made by the same now-former Pentair company that makes the Porter-Cable compressors (sorry, I just couldn't recall the name...) I recon that they'll do as well as any other OIL-less compressor will ever do -- actually prolly better.  For somewhat-portable and still Big-Time "poop-out" at 110vac, that's not a bad starting point.  (And yes, you can do better .. that remains a "starting" point as well as a finish point -- depending on your needs and budget.)

   forgot about old sears,makes me wonder why they keep having those big closeouts on their returned items. just so happens I'm looking at a Porter now,25 gal tank,6.8@90,oil lube,horz. Oh well, Sears,CH,Husky,Porter Cable is their really that big of a difference? I doubt that I'll outlive the unit I buy anyway/Thanks ladies and gents.
