RE: Re: JPOR: Jeep tools



Yep, that is the type Mo.
	What kind of warranty do they have? Do you know if there the same 
as the belt type?

I've got one of those oilless Sears Craftsman jobbies.  Horizontal 
tank, 
28ish gallon tank, 5.5ish hp.  Pretty much what you're looking at.  I'd 
recommend the vertical style, as they take less floor space in the 
garage

For the money, I was most satisfied.  Consider getting one that has the 
'free' tools included.  The impact wrench sucks, but he air ratchet is 
pretty good.  Also, the 25ft of hose is nice.

This compressor is enough to keep up with my IR2131 (well, the sears 
rebadged one).  I haven't really ever had to stop and wait for the 
compressor to catch up with me, ever.  And that includes running the 
cut off 
wheel (actually a die grinder with a hummer wheel attachment).

Downside:  It's noisy.  But so are some of the two stage compressors.

Can't really comment on much else, but I've had good luck with my setup.
