Rockworth RW1504ST2-AZ Factory Reconditioned Portable Electric Air Compressor, 4-Gallon, Black

Rockworth in the states is not to common. A little back ground check revealed that Rockworth is sold in the U.K and Europe. In the states it is known as Husky. I read all the reviews and don't know about some of these folks. I have not had my unit to long, but it runs every day all day, no problem as of yet. Packaged real good,after opening and taking unit out,it looked like it just came off the line. No dents,scratches,broken parts or the like. Unit runs good, I use for finish nailer and it sets a 1" crown x 5/8" corrigated fastner. For my face frames. It did have plastic wheels which are round and they do roll.For the $"s spent and what i got, no complaints thus far.Iv'e been in carpenter trade for 50+ yrs. Used all kinds of compressors,from the big boys down to this little guy, and I'm glad i bought this Rockworth.Youall have some fun and be BAD.. Smoothbore00. Just for the record AMAZON price wise and customer follow up beat the H--l out of the big box stores,thats why i check with AMAZON before i spend to much... Just give them one chance you won't be sorry....l

I live on a farm and depend on tools that work every time I have a job to do. I have two other older air compressors that are in need of repair so I took a chance on this cheap air compressor, The Rockworth RW1504ST just for a back up until I repaired my other compressors. The first time that I used it the wheels fell off rolling it 50 feet to a job. While useing it to put air in a tire on farm wagon it starting smoking and stopped working. I let it cool down and it ran again but did the same after a few minutes. Three weeks later I tried to fill up another tire and before the tire was full it broke down for good. It sounds like the motor is running but not turning the compressor pump. It's not worth my time trying to fix this piece of junk. It is very convient buying online at Amazon.com and other web sites. I buy a lot of products through Amazon.com but if this is the quality of products they sell, well I will have to go back to the old fashion way of shopping in the walk-in stores.

As per my original order, I selected the "RED" colored model ROCKWORTH RW1504ST-CP 1.5 for $99. A few days later, I checked my order status, and the above Subject/Titled "BLACK" air compressor RW1504ST2-AZ for $120 appeared on my order. First thought was, the RED color may no longer be available and will probably ship me the replacement BLACK colored compressor. It arrived nine days after placing order and opened the box and it was the "RED" model. Nonetheless, no worries. As per the instructions, I broke it in by running for 10 minutes with tank valves in open position(no pressure buildup). Let it cool for 5 minutes, closed tank valves, and ran to build pressure. The compressor's loudness is acceptable. Its not whisper quiet like much higher priced compressors of similar size. I have experienced similar compressors in size and price to be much louder. The pressure build up was very good; 100 psi was under 2 minutes and 155 psi(max) was approx. 2.5 minutes. I was able to adjust the pressure valve for desired output pressure while viewing pressure gage. Compressor is reasonably compact and very portable. The wheels were reasonably straight, not cambered as others may have experienced. Has a extendable pull handle and a fixed grab handle on top. Small storage compartment on top side for accessories etc. The power switch(red) has a clear rubber dust cover. My only complaint was the paint on the lower tank, front side and the top grab handle were dull, sanded look or scraped, most likely from the box rubbing it during shipment. Would have given it 5 stars. I give it a 4-1/2 stars. Overall, happy with compressor and would recommend for its value and function.

I bought this unit as a refurb. Read up on the reviews and took a chance as some of the reviewers said they got rusty units. I paid like 25% of the full price and got a great compressor. I have only used it about 5 times, mostly air brush painting. Gives a good even flow of air and the 4 gallon tank allows me to work in peace and quiet until the tanks need to be filled up again. The tanks fill up quickly as well so the compressor is decent on this unit. I fully recommend buying a refrubished unit.UPDATE: Now July 8th 2013 and have used the compressor for several other things, yesterday filled up a kiddie pool in no time flat. One of the wheels feel off, looks like it was just loose and can be screwed in again with no issues. Still a great deal for the price and working like a champ.

I read a lot of reviews before I ordered it. I did not like the sounds of how their product came. My carton and contains were in perfect condition. Then the wheels were mentioned in all the reviews. Sure enough they are out of whack but can be fixed.When I first used it I was losing air every time I turned on the outlet pressure. Now Amazon gave me free shipping but that was all about to go out the window if I had to return it so I went to looking. I found that the hose from the tank to the knob was lose. Upon further investigation I found the hose that goes into the tank had a plastic quick snap and it was not working right. I've almost stopped the leak. It is still leaking a little but I am able to inflate my tires now. I will look at it again when the weather warms up.It will serve it's purpose around my place. I would not recommend it for heavy duty work. I will be using it for all my tires which includes lawnmower, small tracker, log splitter and automobiles.I am giving the recondition people the benefit of the doubt that this could have happened in shipping. There is no way this could have been overlook.Other stores offered this price it was the free shipping that sold me to buy it from Amazon.
