Rol-Air 2 Horsepower 5.3 Gallon Bull Compressor FC2002HBP6
"The Bull" 2 HP, 5.3 gallon cart mounted air compressor has enough power to run
approximatley 1 - 3 roofing guns, 1 - 2
framing guns or 3 - 5 trim/finish guns.
Powerful yet weighs less than 70 pounds.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.

initial problems, outlook unknown.
I bought the HBP6 to use for my home remodel - nailers, including flooring, etc.

Day 2 the unit shut down and tripped the thermal breaker and would not run after resetting.
Phone support helped me diagnose the problem as a piece of assembly debris (small chunk of paint or glue) being stuck in the check valve seat so I was able to clear it myself.

Day 3 another problem, at the same location, the plastic overpressure line exploded from the fitting because it was installed without a metal insert inside the line (only had the ferrule). Phone support said they'd ship me the parts but they didn't ship them overnight, so I had to go rent another compressor for the weekend.

I hope that after this issue is resolved I'll get good service from this unit. But be forewarned.
I try to buy tools that last a long time - that's why I didn't buy a compressor from the big box stores, but I'm not sure my strategy has paid off.

AMAZINGLY HANDY MACHINE
I am 70 years old, and retired. All of my tools are for play, but I do like to buy the best!
I have a very large, and excellent, Quincy 2 stage upright stationary compressor, a very nice 5HP Quincy belt drive, slow speed, 20 gallon portable, an EC-12 Hitachi (getting quite heavy for me to lug around), and a very old Champion (wheelbarrow style).
This little Rol-Air is absolutely perfect for me.
I can lift it if I need to, but in most cases I can roll it instead.
Convenience is what this is all about, and in my opinion this little Rol-Air wins five stars for convenience.
Excellent little compressor
I haven't used it much but so far this seems like an excellent little compressor.

It arrived in a box that had been opened and once inside noticalby repacked. I don't think it was used, however, because the compressor itelf seemed fresh, without nicks or dings.

-It already had oil in it and ready to use.
-Shipping weight is 64 lbs, but it's not nearly that heavy. I weighed it at 55 lbs and it's a fairly easy lift.
-In reality it's not much bigger than the familiar PC pancake. The added size if any comes from the handle and wheels.
-It is very convenient to wheel around, no problem with stairs, etc.
-Build construction seems very solid and durable. It is rated CONTINUOUS DUTY: Good!
-It does NOT come with connectors or a hose. Oddly, the quick connect I installed on the air outlet touches the metal tube for the pump, making me suspect a rattle issue some day, but not so far.
-The On OFF switch is not convenient at all, but is very...
