What portable Air Compressor to buy?
I need Santa to bring me a new portable air compressor to maintain my Fiver tire pressures. Any suggestions. It must be a portable unit.

I couldn't remember if I posted....STAY AWAY from harbor freight. The pancake compressors that they sell aren't worth their weight in scrap. Go with the porter cable pancake and you will be fine
Is this experience or opinion? I buy tools from harbor freight all the time. I have bought one of their cheap compressors and used the dog out of it. Probably a lot more than the average person would in a life time. It did fail after about 5 years but I was very happy with it. I bought a DeWalt twin tank and it failed after about 6 months. Had to send it to an authorized repair facility in Florida to get repaired. Six weeks later, I got it back. Not trying to knock DeWalt but just saying I have had name brand products fail too.
I get a lot of peoples "opinions" from work but very few has ever tried their tools. In my experience, the rare times I have bought something that didn't perform to my liking they either replaced the item or refunded my money without any problems.
From my experience, harbor freight tools has performed as expected or better than name brand tools I have bought in the past. They just cost less.
