Makita Air Compressor

i would just like to say that if anyone is looking at a new compressoor look no further than the makita stack 2.5 hp 4 gal. for $235 its is awesome . keeps up with 2 framers or 2 roofers. quietest compressor on the market has to be. ive only had mine for a couple weeks but for now this thing is the cats meowsure beats the hell out of my craftsman. the only problem is that you almost need a forklift to carry it.it is the heaviest portable ive seen.im just giving props to makita for finally having a descent tool

Congrats on the nice compressor, - - but has Makita ever had a tool that wasn't at least 'close' to TOP OF THE LINE??

Glad they got quieter.I had one some time ago and not only was it heavy,it was the noisiest thing I ever plugged in.

Glad you like it,hope it serves you well.
