To be honest, I have found all of the Toolshed branded tools to be quite low in quality. In my opinion, you would be better off buying a pre-loved Marquip triple pot for a lot less $$$. They are a good compressor.

your simply not going to get a good hindin/marquip compressor for that sort of money. its still far cheaper to buy a cheap brand new.
however the debate is always how long will it last. a big part of that will come down to how much you use it and how much you abuse it.

Usually start with looking at the tools which you intend to use and see what their air volume and pressure requirements are. Need to use one of these to tell how thick the air tank is. https://youtu.be/J7HCRaS6ab8 Sulco equivalent spec to compressor spec above is over $800 more with cast pump. Make sure there is a valve to drain the water from any air tank.

thanks guys, went and had a look at it today (2nd hand, 3 months old with receipts so still under warrenty). all good, and ran nice. Only $500 so good value, Its got more air than I need, Ill only be doing occasional paint spraying, the rest of my work is mainly just air dusting, parts cleaning and die grinder. I know its no marquip, happy to accept that at this price. Will just look after it, and will get a good water trap/regulator later on.
