when to pull the plug??

I just went through this. I had a vertical sears crapsman , and just couldn't take it anymore. when you plugged it in, it was so loud the neighbors would even come outside wondering what the hell was going on. I wheeled it out to the curb and left it for the garbage truck. My friend also had one and his needed the cylinder rebuild kit, he found one real cheap and had it repaired in no time. It ran for a week before something else failed and its now a reserve air tank on wheels. :violent1: I went to all the home depots and lowes and everything they offer is 3450 rpm, and that =loud! I found a local compressor shop and found this. Jenny, K2A-60 American made, dual 110/230V motor 1750 rpm 13.1 cfm so its not a screamer. Its not the end of all compressors, but its an excellent home model.
