I have one. Had it for two years now no issues. Great for small jobs.

Really happy with mine, for the price you can't beat it. It won't run an automotive shop but for just an air ratchet, impact etc it works good. I was using my die grinder pretty hard the other day and it couldn't keep up, I had to wait for a bit every few minutes.

I have one and had to replace the manifold in the first week. That is the weak spot on them. i bought Campbell Hausfield regulators from CT and a few pipe fitting and it was good to go. Other than that they are great. General framing and I no trouble with it keeping up. Ran two nailers for interior finish with 1x6 TG fir and it kept up.

Costco gets the stuff snap on dumps, but cheap snap on is 50 times better than high priced pricess auto. Should be a good unit for the price.

This is a knock-off Snap-on from China. It is not real Snap-on. The insignia is different.

I asked my Snap ON Guy in Calgary, and he said you can either buy Snap On tools new from the truck, or used from pawn shops or private sellers. Period. That Chinese garbage Costco sells is not Snap On. Plus, it doesn't even make sense that a 1/2 drive ratchet is $169, and an air compressor is $30 more? somethingnuw, an easy way to tell if it's genuine is if it seems crazy expensive, it's the real deal.

When I saw it in Costco I went home and looked in my snap on catalogue and it was not in there so thought something was up.

It's made by some Chinese tool manufacturer and just rebranded as Snap On because they licensed it. But it still comes with Costco warranty which is the best in the business. Any issues take it back for full refund. It's still $100-$200 cheaper than any comparable chinese compressor.

I must be the only guy here who has an actual snap on air compressor... 5hp, 7cfm and 30 gallons, fairly quiet too

And it's horizontal brother at home.
