Joking aside that’s a decent portable compressor. Had one for a couple years. Effective and convenient. Just wish batteries for these things weren’t so expensive, they’re the printer ink of the portable tool world.

When my Makita drill batteries died I was looking for new ones only to find that's it's cheaper to buy a whole new drill with batteries than to just replace my dead batteries. Absolutely stupid and wasteful.

The batteries inside the pack are far cheaper. Opening the pack to replace them will be a challenge.

If you’re super handy some of these can be cut apart and batteries replaced. I did that for an old craftsman drill. Worked until the motor quit.

I was surprised how good these are - can easily inflate a telehandler tyre
