    Hell, I may get another at that price!!

    Same model I have now, kicked ass for 7 years.

    Yeah....I saw that but it's 30% more money, 20% less HP and only 135 PSI vs. 155 PSI........although I agree that IR is a good name. The breaker for me is that the IR is white and it will probably always show the dust in my garage

    I'm not a real fan of the Sears Local shop here in Havasu.......never really liked these guys and Lowes has been awesome......I think I'd rather deal with them on warranty issues......especially with 3 years vs. 1 year on the Craftsman......but that's just me

    Good points, I paid more 8 years ago than what it is going for on sale.
    It wasn't my first choice either, but it's been damn good to me!

    Our sears is a good one though, happy shopping!!

    Sooooooooooooooooo............It looks like you need to buy a separate regulator for pressure out with these larger units.......does that sound right to you guys??

    I was going to put in a water trap anyhow but just wondering??

    I think my vertical Husky has the same cylinder config as the kobalt you are looking at. Mine leaks oil a little and is louder than I would have liked. Mine is wired and plugged into 110 and I need to change that. They run like crap that way.

    I have a Sears professional horizontal 26gal in HB. It is awesome. Quiet and other than replacing a belt / oil changes has ran really well. I have had for 12 years. If you guys get any of the models let me know the feedback. I wish you could here them run at the store. That would effect my buying decsion.
