Hi there, I'm Greg Golds, I'm from Ottawa. I've had the opportunity to test the Mastercraft 10-gallon Work Shop Air Compressor. I use the compressor around the house for many applications, nailing, framing, finishing, stapling, air ratchet, air drill, inflating tires, inflating tubes, cleaning things. You name it. Before you begin to operate the compressor, you should always refer to the instruction manual. It has very important information on safety, operating and maintenance, as well as break in procedures, tool compatibility, trouble-shooting information, three year warranty and 1-800 help number. There's a tool chart here, which will tell you basically, which tools you can use and what pressure to operate them at. To use this compressor, it's really easy. It's quite simple. As in with any equipment, always use your safety equipment. Eye, ear, and hand protection. I like both the flexibility and the portability of this compressor. It can be easily used both inside and outside for numerous applications. Overall, I'm very impressed with the Mastercraft's 10-gallon work shop's capability, capacity, ease of use, and reliability. I would recommend this product to any do-it-yourself-er.
