Compressors

I have had good luck with Porter Cable but recently they just don't last. I had a dual tank, it bit the dust ,had a pancake as a back up it went to. Spend the money go back to Rol -Air . Just wondering if anybody had similar problems?

Rol-air or Emglo (both Fini based pumps) or any compressor with a "Fini" (MFG of the pump)oil based pump will get you the long life you expect from a compressor.
