Anybody have any experience with the Craftsman 19541 compressor.
25 gal, 2HP, oil lube.
I plan on using it for basic nailing and some HVLP spraying.
It is comparable with a Campbell Hausfeld unit but is about $160 less than the CH unit.
Any info on real-life expericned with the Craftsman unit would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

I don't own and haven't used this Craftsman compressor, but I have experience with their other compressors. They are the only brand I've owned, and I've owned 3 different models. I currently own a 6 HP 30 gallon that is my general purpose shop compressor. I also own a 1.5 HP 3 gallon that I use when not in the shop. Both have worked flawlessly.

I was a District Manager for Sears for 10 years (Set up / ran Sears Hardware Stores all over the east coast and Ohio). The Craftsman compressors were made by a Devilbiss. They make quality rigs. You should have no problems with it.

I've had one for about 3 years and have had great success with it. Anything from driving nails to staining 600lft of 6' cedar fence. For the small shop, homeowner, it's a workhorse.

Others agree: http://www.hgtvpro.com/hpro/np_editorpicks/article/0,2623,HPRO_26596_5151298,00.html

Enjoy.
