Craftsman Air Tools, 2 Gallon Portable Air Compressor 1/3 HP Oil-Free Max 125 PSI Pressure, Hot Dog, Model: CMXECXA0200243

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Husband says this is a great product & good value.

I've never owned a compressor before and i needed one to keep around the house for small projects. I bought this to use with my nail gun and it's been great! One complaint I do have is the instruction is TERRIBLE. Tiny fonts, terrible steps, who can learn from it? I ended up searching on youtube for tutorials after pulling the hose attachment off of the plug without knowing i needed to lock the pressure cap, and BOP it went, super loud, scaring everyone around.My advice is, definitely learn how to use it first on Youtube. Using a compressor is not as intuitive as you'd think. Once you get the basics, it's great. I can use this to pump anything from huge pool toys to car tires.

Works great for around the house small jobs and inflating tires unsure if it would be good on a job site

The media could not be loaded. Great for airing up tires. It’s like the little engine that could! lol it’s pretty noisy.

It sounds like it's going to blow up. Super loud. Probably good for pumping up a tire but there are smaller solutions for that. Not good for using any attachment. Ran a blow gun on it to clean parts and it doesn't have enough volume for that. The motor ran until it shut down due to overheating. Not sure it could run a nail gun either. It's a sturdy tank and all but I'm just not sure where this fits into the market as a solution to anything,. There are smaller devices to pump up a tire, and it doesn't have enough volume to do anything else.

Don't let the size throw you off. When I first opened the box and took mine out the size kinda took me for a surprise. In fact I almost immediately started to re-box it to send it back. (Is re-box a word or something I just made up? Oh well today it is.) But then I thought what the h*#$ I might as well try it out since it's unpacked. (That's the word I needed a minute ago. Repackage. I'm still going with re-box.) It works extremely well. The folks that say it's really loud aren't exaggerating. In a closed garage or shop it is loud. But no louder than a bigger one. It says it can operate a brad nailer and a nail gun. With the capacity to shoot 16 gauge, shiny bright,16d whatever you want to call them. It runs my brad nailer no problem. I haven't bought a nail gun yet but it's on the top of the list. Will update after I get one and see if this thing can really run it. Pleased and pleasantly surprised with it so far. And I like that I don't have to keep an eye on the oil as it doesn't use it.

What I needed for my mower tires

It airs up my tires...so it does what i needed it for.
