My old Rockwell finally decided to give up the ghost and needs to be replaced.
I know you get what you pay for in most cases, but in this case it rarely gets used. It can sit on my shelf for a year or more without being used, so I'm hard pressed to pay Chicago Pneumatic prices (or more), and even then may only be used once or twice a year .......at best.
There is the ever present Harbor Freight Central Pneumatic for $19.
The Home Dept for $34
Sears Craftsman for $55 and one for $32
And finally the PowerMate at Home Depot for $26
For the amount of use I give it, I'm tempted to try the Harbor Freight Central Pneumatic.
Any one have any experience with any of these?
