This compressor is a joy to look at, and the craftsmanship is second to none. It's obvious that lots of attention to fit and finish were given to the welds and all. Not to mention it runs smoothly and considerably quieter than the 2 stage 5 hp 60 gallon upright air compressor it has replaced. Very pleased with this PUMA made in the USA air compressor and would highly recommend it to anyone running a small shop or for the DIY home mechanic. The entire transaction from purchase to delivery were flawless. And the unit itself was packaged so well with plastic and bubble wrap, wood pallets and wood braces that I don't believe it could possibly suffer any shipping damages.
