Compressor sale

I just got an e mail from Harbor Freight, letting me know about a huge compressor sale!
The 3 gal 100 psi pancake is on sale for 50.00.
I carry this one in my Greyhawk, and it's great
Happy New Year, fellow campers, from Buffalo, NY

    Watch the "super coupons" and the 3-gal compressors are $40. I'm on my second one. They're fine for occasional use, but the piston "ring" is a little ring made of some kind of fabric. It's a "100-PSI" compressor, but I'm glad I only inflate our rear duals to 75 and the fronts less. Compressor does well on car and small trailer tires, up to around 50-PSI. I like having a compressor available, great for toad, for bikes, OK for a few PSI to the RV tires. I get it out at home to run my HF air nailer. Then I found the RV spare was at 50-PSI. Compressor must've run 15 minutes to get the tire to 80 and next time I used it, could produce about 30-PSI max. Looks like new, just shot. But for the price I went and got another one. It's a limited-homeowner-use item. Don't give that old cast-iron twin-cylinder Craftsman in the corner of the garage away.

    This compressor REQUIRES a 30 minute break-in run to properly seat the seals per page 7 of the owners manual. Read the manual and break it in before putting it to work.

    It's a handy, little light weight compressor for the $$.

    Mine is forty years old and still going strong. I can inflate my RV tires to what ever I want in a couple of minutes. I don't think that think will ever wear out. Every now and then you see that at a garage or yard sale. Buy it if you do.
