    got one of these last year,been ok up to now apart from the two outlets leak and the airline ends are pants ,oh and the tyre gauge is well out.Can be fixed with better ends and tyre gauge ok if you have a flat just to get you on your way but the compressor itself it brilliant,i was suprised how powerful it is for the size and price

    they come on on the day,so sunday 13th they will be on the floor

    if you really want one id suggest you go wait at the door for when it opens , they only have so many and often sell out fast

    yeah - get there early. Specials like that normally sell within the first hour of sale

    Had one for about a year, no major issues with it - air filter has shaken itself off but it seems to be fine other than that.

    ive used this quite alot for painting, air gun, tyre inflating etc and all seems well, its a good little machine, as lard says the air filter rattles loose lol but its only a wing nut.

    I got one of these last year too and have been pretty pleased with it. The air regulator sold seperately blew up spewing oil around the garage though.

    Thanks for the heads up on this Pigbladder :thumbup:

    Bargain! Got there early and joined the que. Compressors were gone in 20mins. But they had a 2nd pallet on standby.

    Also, anyone want a cheap trackday helmet? They motorcycle helmets up for 25 inc spare visor and liner.

    Got mine, unfortunately it failed to work.
    When I switched it on, there was a big spark under the black cover at the top.
    I hope the 36 month warranty is good...
