I needed a compressor to use in my van to blow out computers (yeah I know you are not supposed to use compressed air due to moisture in the air) but honestly i have never had any issues with compressed air. I have had issues with can of compressed air like freezing and such. So I was walking at Lowe's and noticed they had their front isle almost blocked off...man it was a good strategy or their part. I saw the compressor, and by the way it was an impulse buy, so I got it. I had looked at small compressors before and that were about the same cost ($79) and this one had a tank and a staple/nail gun to boot. So I was sold. Purchased it and it works pretty good as you can see.
