Anyone have this compressor or have an opinion on it?

I'd be using it for blowing out sprinklers and light air tool usage. |

No - but - answer probably here;

If you get one of the HB air compressors, make sure you change the oil several times during the break in process. Mine (different model) took about four oil changes before there were no more metal dust particles coming out the oil drain hole. It has worked great and I haven't had any issues with it.
BTW - This is the one I bought: http://www.harborfreight.com/21-gal-25-hp-125-psi-cast-iron-vertical-air-compressor-61454.html It has enough power to run my framing nailer while building a studio/greenhouse for my wife. |

I can't speak for that model, but I have one of their pumps I put on an old tank. It's run for 10yrs now no issues. Grinders, impacts, paint sprayers, etc. Not used daily but does the job when needed. If the price was right I wouldn't bat an eye at another. For what you said you'd use it for you should be fine. Keep up with maintenance (ie: oil changes, moisture drained, etc) and it should last well. |
