What's the flow rating, motor, and tank size of your compressor?

The HF stuff is good for what it is, a little crude, but plenty good enough for guys who do not use them 8 hours a day.

HF air tools are hit and miss....especially when they are on sale for 9.99...lol. I am happy someone tried the husky I was gonna buy that one. I'm an x body guy
and my cut off is the only HF air tool I have and its junk! I can stall it easily....1 minute or 1 hour of use don't matter, it's no good at all!!

Hey Mike,

I gave mine a workout this weekend and it did pretty good, I did have it stall a few times but that was when it ran low on oil, just added oil and I was good to go...

You can even see it laying there on my trailer ramp in this pic...

i have to give this one piece of advice. If you use an air tool enough that you consider it "often" I suggest buying a quality unit. I cant give any advise on the ones you mentioned, but I use several Ingersol cutoff tools, impacts, and air ratchets at work and they are top notch. I own several of the same brand for home use. Doesn't the home depot stuff have a lifetime warranty? I cant remember. If they do, then seems like it was a nice choice.

Hello all, I did buy a husky unit which does work very well. Only stalled a few times. My hf is just junk. Thanks for all your help.

If you have a smallish compressor, buying a cheap electric cutoff tool will work better. Walmart has a $30 B&D electric that has worked great for trimming my firewall in my conversion project. They have griding and cutting wheels for it.

I've got Ingersoll Rand, Craftsman, Husky, and a few cheapie HF and eagle die grinders. I've actually used the HF more than any of them, and I've never had an issue. But I don't cut a heck of a lot with them, I'm usually sanding or polishing.
