Very nice compressor. If I get more into cannons which scoff air then I might save up for one :)

It's easy to set up quick disconnects, just put the female end on the air line and male ends on your air tools. That way you don't have to screw and unscrew the tools evey time you want to use a different tool. All though that size tank wont drive high speed tools for very long, my compressor has a 40 gallon tank, and sometimes i have to stop and wait for it to build back up.

3" cut off tool
drill
air hammer

All are high air comsumption tools. At least my 3 worst.

because everything in Aussie is usally way cheaper then NZ and this is the first thing i've noticed thats way cheaper over here in NZ.

Killa why didn't you get a 2HP? They should cost the same at that price.

The store didn't have them. It was either this, or a 200gallon for $600.

Yeh I have just saved $200 Aus, and am looking to buy an air compressor, but bunnings have them for like 200 which I know is a bad price. Where did you get yours Killa? Because I need a new phone aswell so im trying to use as little as possible on a good air compressor, not unlike yours. (possibly the same as yours if i can find them in Vic)
