Re: Rigid 5gal Mini Wheel Barrow


I have one and really think it's a nice compressor. I would put it in the same noise/weight class as the twin stack dewalts. the wheel idea works really well. Why hasn't anyone else done the same? The cast cylinder and aluminum head look semi small but I can run a hopper gun for small texture jobs with this thing and although it gets hot it's never to the point where I'm worried about it. It does draw quite a bit of juice to get started. it can be hit or miss on a 15 amp circuit. The only trouble I've had was when it had been sitting in a below freezing garage overnight. I had to warm it up for a while before it would turn over. I doubt any oil lubed would start under the same conditions though. overall I think it's a great deal and it saves your leg in transport.
