Driven by a light but potent one horse power motor, the Craftsman 3 gallon horizontal air compressor is an asset to your garage workshop, shed and jobsite. Toss it in back of the truck, or wheel it around the yard, either way its tough steel build will hold up for years of trucking around wherever duty calls. Add this powerful portable piece of equipment to your arsenal and tackle all those jobs that need pneumatic power.

I've had my little 3 gallon 1.5 hp Craftsman air compressor for 5 years. It is easy to tote around, provides me with all the scfm that my 18, 16 and 15 gauge brad & finish nailers and staplers suck up and runs smoothly and quietly. I have about 50 hrs. run time on it and have never had a it fail me.
It's portability allows me to move it to each work site and gives me the freedom to finish projects away from my large shop floor standing compressor. No, it won't power air tools or large framing air nailers, but for what my on the go needs are, it works just fine!
I looked at several other small portable air compressors and found this one to offer the most features, highest air output and ease of operation, all at the best $$$ value. My Craftsman 33 gallon shop compressor has been with me for 15 years...this little brother was a no-brainer!

Great sale 40% off. Compact, easy to carry . Fairly quiet. Pumps up quickly. Plastic hose is cheap. Buy better hose.
Avon Lake, OH
MY 3 gallon 1hp Craftsman Air Compressor seized up after approximately 1 hour of run time. the sight glass showed it to be full of oil. Upon the failure i removed the crankcase cover to reveal the piston connecting rod seized onto the essentric. The word Maylasia was riht there glaring at me when i openned the cover! I made the mistake of only using th eunit to air up the occasional tire so the warranty period lapsed while it was still practically new. I have ordered the piston kit from sears for $30-$40 and will hopefully get some use out of my investment. Based on the countless similar reviews I have read, I am no holding my breath in anticipation that the replacement kit will hold up. The connecting rod is cheap allow with no bearing. We'll see.
Gassville, AR
Great compressor. Mine was delivered fully charged with air and the oil reservoir was overfilled. I noticed it and drained the oil and refilled it to the proper level. It is a quiet compressor the recovers very fast. I am happy with the purchase for the price.
Dillsburg, PA
I have had this for about 8 years. It spends more time as a loaner to others. I have had to replace the switch and regulator controls. Overall good compressor. I use it for blowing out water supply lines and inflating tires.

Lexington, KY

Happy Valley, OR
I got this to work on my Harley. Git it UPS, put it together added oil and turned it on. Worked great! Cool little unit...light weight so very portable.
Palestine, TX
Gets the job done.
Chillicothe, OH
This is the third compressor I've had and it's best one yet! I've had two of one other brand and it has outpreformed them both, hands down. It pumps up to pressure quickly and recovers just as well. Woudn't trade it for anything else.
Reading, PA
I have had one for over 10 years and have purchase two for gifts. a great little compressor but be careful it tips over easily. you need to mount it on a small furniture dolly or cart or mount an outrigger to the bottom to extend its life.One tip can render it inoperable.
