I'll second that. I wished that I had realized just how annoying they
can be *before* I'd bought mine! I've got one of the Sears "6.5 hp"
models and while it puts out enough air for everything that I do,
I'd much rather have my old oil-type compressor again. Anyone close
to C'ville, Va want to take this thing off my hands so that I can justify
a new toy? <grin>
