I've had this Sears compressor for about 10 years and I'm the 2nd owner, definitely has some years on it.
This is a 5HP 220V model and still works pretty good. The tag on the tank says it's certified by DeVilbiss so I'm also curious who made these Craftsmans.
My concerns are while it fills up at a decent rate, it's slightly slow and will likely need new rings or more.
Next is the age of the tank, has a couple rust spots on the exterior but I have no idea of the overall integrity as I didn't buy it new.
If I could get a new tank and try some fresh rings or whatever is needed for the cylinder rebuild I may go that route.
New models that have this SCFM are like anything else...expensive.
Curious if anyone has worked on this model before, all thoughts are welcome. Are they worth rebuilding or should I go for a newer/used model, if so, would an IR be a safe bet or what says the consensus here?
