Title: a tale of 2 compressors
Review: Seeking advice as a first time user of light air tools,my brother , who part times a motorcycle shop, suggested a huge noisy Campbell Hausfield, with piping and couplings everywhere.Not an option for a small pottery shop.My choice was a small ,quiet compressor, but the concern was it would need replacement or repair.Makita is inexpensive considering the extremely long life-if you pay attention to the service schedule.It is unbelievably quiet and takes up almost no space.I thought I might break off fins or filters but it is a protected robust design. For brad nailers, tire inflating , a series of airbrushes and HVLP guns-this compressor does not even break a sweat.At 70 #its rather heavy to hop up and down stairs so it sits on a small dolly and takes an extra length of hose every so often. No matter.It has done great service in the year I have used it.Update to Jan. 2013: everything I have said before in spades!
