Will try one next as soon as mine go bad. My biggest problem with Air Compressors is draining them. So hard to get to the drain valves. Anyone have an easy way of doing that.

I re read your post and Although 7 months is not a long time its nice to know so far they are reliable.  But when i think of gas engines I got Hondas 10 years old and older.  Thats reliability.  And although I love Harbor Freight for a lot of things.  Thier not famous for daily use gas and power tool equipment in my book. Most thier stuff is made for occasional use or for homeowers. MId to low grade quality.  Chicago Tools are OK but to me would not hold up to professional every day use.  Just my opinion. Because some tools I bought there just plain fell apart.  They do honor and replace.  But I don't know how far I would get with  a compressor that is simply fine but a pain in the ass to keep running.

      My only trepidation is I have honestly become so accostomed to the reliability of Honda engines on all my pressure washers and sprayers I have literally vowed to not buy anything else.  In fact I have some that sit for almost a year and still start on the 1st or second pull.  And if the do get gunked up in the carb its the easiest carb to pull clean and reinstall out there. 

     I may have to for a compressor though. I don't see many with Hondas that don't cost an arm and a leg.  I don't use compressors for anything. Other than small ones to air up tires.  It sure seems like the options are limited for gas units compared to other power equipment though.  what brand motor is usually on the Rigid. I try to steer clear of most B and S engines. I don't care for thier carbs at all in the past.

I'm actually buying the 212cc wheelbarrow one today Chris. I'll post back on my opinion of it out of the box later.
