Got here an hour ago.
I also bought the Harbor Freight compressor accessory kit. Has a coiled hose, a couple of quick connects, blow gun, different nozzles, etc. 14 bucks at any store. Sometimes the cheap stuff is worth it. This is one of those rare occasions.
Anyway, I've been playing. Had the compressor running for almost an hour, off and on. Blew up the tires on a bike, played with my steam engines, blew the dust off the workbench, etc. Just giving it a workout. It is not silent by any means, but after an hour I was not left with a headache nor ringing ears. While it was running downstairs, I ran up into the kitchen which is right above it. I could hear it, but barely. When the refrigerator cut in, I could no longer hear it running.
Has to cut in fairly quickly and often, as the small (1.6 gallon) tank isn't much reserve. But it is not obnoxious, so it doesn't bother me at all. If it holds up, I will be very happy with it for down in the workshop. Well worth the extra cost for the lack of noise, in my opinion.

Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts
