      <content:encoded><![CDATA[RE: 21 gallon, 2.5 HP 125 PSIl compressor:<br />
Motor would not start.  Unit has two motor start  cpacitors: one 50 micro farad and one 70 micro farad.  Both are not shorted but both measure zero on the cpacitance test.  Used two different meters.  Is this unusual?  I looked at the HF parts on line and it only lists one capacitor. Part # 12384.  This is an older unit.  Is it worthwihle to buy new cpacitors or is it likely they failed because of some other reason?<br />
Thanks]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I suppose this was innevitable.  Looks pretty good.  200psi, two ports, and a somewhat quieted motor.  Would make a good shop compressor if you don&#039;t need 240v driven air flow.<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Been waiting for them to come out with this lineup:  They&#039;re calling them &quot;Fortress&quot; brand, and they use the same, low RPM, dual piston pumps that a lot of the recent air compressor products have been brought to market with: All very quiet. <br />
<br />
The new HF compressors look great, too.<br />
<br />
Problem is, they&#039;ve priced them too high.  $149 for the 1/2 HP 1 gallon model, and $189 for the 1.2 HP 2 gallon model.  20% deals are not valid for these.  I suspect we&#039;ll see some coupons, eventually, but there...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I’m going to go out on a limb and state up front: The <a href="https://www.harborfreight.com/23-gauge-pin-air-nailer-60241.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink" rel="nofollow">23 Gauge Pin Nailer</a>, HF item #60241, might be the single highest value-to-cost tool Harbor Freight sells. It’s an extremely reliable tool that works exceptionally well. At $20 after coupon, it’s an outrageous bargain.<br />
<br />
The nailer is perfect for delicate joinery work and small wood crafting projects. It handles pin nail sizes from 1/2″ to 7/8″. I’ve found it sets...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I needed a small compressor at my cabin for inflating tires, and occasionally running a brad nailer or stapler.  This particular 1/3hp unit was on sale for $39 with coupon at the time (2011), so I picked it up.  I want to like this compressor more, but it’s got a couple of flaws.  First, it’s noisy.  Wake-the-dead noisy.  Most small air compressors generate a fair amount of noise, but this model is particularly obnoxious.  And that brings us to the second issue:  The recovery time is very...<br />
