And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
One problem. "Craftsman". They don't support their product any longer.Bought a weedeater. Ran like crap. They said that's the way they run, wouldn't let me return it. No more Craftsman products for me.
Couple of Craftsman riding mowers put me off their power machinery. Still using tools I bought back in 68. replaced a couple of sockets. I haven't tried the warranty at the current resellers, though.
My 1977 ⅜ drive ratchet died 2 weeks back, "Lifetime Warranty" no longer valid. Will never purchase a CCP or Taiwanese "Craftsman" product. The Taiwanese are our noncommunist allies in the far east. Have been there and they are good, freedom loving industrious people. I will buy other products from them but not Craftsman, on principle.
I have an older model, not sure what it's good for. Aired up my Craftsman riding mower tire with it and it took 5 mins. My big compressor would have taken 30 seconds. Basically, the tank is too small for anything useful, and a larger tank would require more cfm's, so frustration is built in to the recipe.
Craftsman. Once legendary, now laughable. As far as this thing goes: -standard air tools need 90 psi. The 155 claim is a typical Craftsman horsepower ploy- "peak horsepower" games to make underpowered equipment seem good. -what's the CFM at pressure and free air? That's what determines utility, unless all you're doing is filling a tire once in a while. -how loud? Another key issue for users. -wow, it's got controls! On/off! Gauges! A connector! De-luxe, I tell ya! Buy a Cal-Aire for a third the money and twice the quality.

My mistake. It's actually priced well for it's capabilities. I'd still spend 50% more for a Cal Aire.
