Just don't 'install it yourself', or you'll void your warranty. LOL :wink05: :ROFLMAO:

Hmm. Still shows full price online, and not available in my local stores. Darn.

Guess it is an in-store deal only. I know I got the last one in the federal way HD

I called my local Home Depot (Bellingham) and was told that it is an on-line only product, but that a few stores do have it. I was told as of right now 4/18/2018 at 7:17 p.m. that the only stores that have it in western Washington are Sequim, Redmonds, Kent, and South Center. The Home Depot employee that I spoke with didn't tell me the price of the compressor at those stores, but if you're close it could be worth a shot. Those stores are too far for me to drive, but maybe this will help someone else.

Oh, and thanks for posting this deal, Arisaka. I got pretty excited there for a second. It looks like a good compressor to run air tools.

Sorry it didn't work out for you guys. On the upside, at least you both live far away from Seattle! Wish I did

Nice compressor and a great price but keep in mind that due to the somewhat low tank capacity it will struggle to keep up with anything that is medium to high demand. A buddy who also has a flooring company runs this compressor and it struggles to keep up with both of us while we're nailing. It's also ridiculously heavy.

I run a Bostich pancake compressor with a 6 gallon tank. It's not as powerful as this Makita but due to the slightly higher tank capacity it keeps up a bit better. It also weighs about a 1/3 what this Makita weighs and was $120 with a 25' hose and 18 gauge finish nailer included.

Food for thought from my personal experience.

Make yourself an air pig out of an old propane tank.

Things are indestructible compared to a normal compressor tank.

Take out the valve, what you have left fits a normal 3/4 pipe thread. Go from there...
