I currently own 2 compressors. One is a 1 gallon Dewalt (D55140). It works fine but it's small and has it's obvious limitations. I bought it for doing trim work and other "light-duty" jobs. The other is a Coleman 11 gallon vertical tank unit. My wife bought it for me from Menards a few years back. The pressure switch is bad or going bad (depending on the day). I see a new pressure switch is abour $60+shipping and there's a question on it's availability.
Anyway, I'm considering getting a new one as I was never happy with the Coleman. It's loud as heck and I've had issues with the pressure switch on and off for awhile. Basically it's for remodeling projects (air nailers, etc) and to run an air wrench fom time to time.
I like the little Dewalt unit. It's very quiet and has given me zero issues. I'd like to stay away from the HF stuff and get a name brand. Problem is, In looking at reviews, some of those don't fair well either.
What do you guys like? Any brands to stay away from?
Thanks
