Title: RUN AWAY FROM THIS ONE
Review: Unless you like to fix brand new things, buy this locally or from someone that will send you repalcement parts without a hassle. I can't even say how it works yet, it arrived damaged so that's a one star rating. why so harsh? Because peple have complained about this very issue I am dealing with for numerous months. I thought since no one had complained recently about parts breaking off in shipping that maybe the folks at Makita had corrected the packing /shipping problem. WRONG. I got this and fired up only to find the small elbow on the release valve is made of cheap brass, and was installed with no tape. It snapped right off at some point in transit. The box looked fine, so there is no way to tell when it happened. The cheap brass and poor assembly is making repair almost impossible, already spent an hour on it and it's not even running yet. That is UNACCEPATBLE. I am betting it's a real hassle to contact Makita for new aprts. Will let you know...
