i have a 33 gal craftsman compressor, with a bunch of shitty air tools and they havent broken on me yet, and i left em in the rain, throw them on the ground, occaionaly use them as hammers.
the compressor is good, once the valve was stuck in it, so it wouldnt recharge unless i was down to like 40psi, if it was anything higher than 50 or 60 it would stop and blow a fuse.

A solid CAST IRON, twin cylinder compressor pump for extreme durability. Offers 135 PSI maximum pressure and air delivery 11.7/10.3 SCFM @ 40/90 PSI. It also has a space saving vertical design that is perfect for your home garage or work shop. The compressor also includes an efficient Solberg style intake filter, pre-plumbed globe valve, pressure switch, and tank pressure gauge.
• Up to 5,000 hours of extended life
• A CAST IRON oil-lubricated pump with traditional design that is quieter and longer lasting
• 60 Gallon vertical, space saving tank design
• Powerful, 7.0-peak horsepower motor provides significant air to multiple power tools
• Three-year limited warranty

I like the three year warranty. But that Harbor Freight one claims to flow 13CFM at 90psi, vs the Husky 10CFM at 90psi. Bullshit numbers?

This is the one I have.. pretty solid for the last 2 years Ive owned it.
