sometimes I need to vent!!! china built products are lower in quality of material, design and build Quality. The compressor I got used but pretty new at the time. It did not perform full pressure from the get go, I had to trouble shoot and repair. I have ran it for about 1-1/2 yrs only for filling my guns,,,no tanks. My opinion is ,,,expect failure and be prepared for it,,they do, that is why they include rebuild kits. As you see from my photo, rebuild time again,,the HP piston and rings are a real pain for my old tired fingers to assemble, I am thinking of a ring compressing device to help me,,I will get it fixed!!!
there are some chinese built products I like , such as my calipers from Anytime tool, china built but to our standards
https://www.ebay.com/str/anytimetools2 when I was working, my tool box(company owned) had Starrett, 6" calipers, 0-1" mic and 2 1"dial indicators 0.250" travel and 2 magnetic bases. I aligned elec motors to pumps, fans or what ever needed precision alignment
