I was being cheap and bought that compressor on sale for $60 a few months ago...what a waste of money. It only has like 1/8 hp so it takes forever just to fill up the 3 gallon tank. Like already mentioned if it's for the house, an air compressor is very handy to have. I'm definately going to pick up a Craftsman one very soon with at least 1hp and 10-25 gallon tank.
