Title: makita MAC700
Review: Like many others my compressor arrived with the plastic shroud in seven pieces. It would not take much to correct the packaging to prevent this from hapening. One of those inflated plastic bubles taped to the front of the shroud would stop the leading edge of the shroud from hitting the cardboard insert and putting enough pressure on it to cause it to break. Putting large red arrows on the box and printing this end up in large letters would also help as the small red arrows are easily overlooked. My unit came with oil all over the cardboard insert and an imprint of where the leading edge of the shroud had pressed into the cardboard. This was a good indication that the box had been laid on its side. I also own the MAC2400 which is great but really heavy. As Amazon will not replace this unit I have returned it and have ordered another from Home Depot.Com for the same amount plus sales tax. I hope this one comes in one piece.
