I have one of these. I bought mine in May 2024 and runs perfect. zero problems. I did a few mods. Larger air filter, vented filler tube, longer tank drain hose and oil drain extension.

@michaelbell7465 it functions OK so far, just ridiculous it could ever leave the factory with all those different fittings crossthreaded like they were. Especially on 2 different units. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed the video.

Thanks for the video. I'm going to purchase one of these as the price is right at Tractor Supply. Now I know what to look at before I load it up.

No problem glad you enjoyed the video. Last time I was there I checked out another one and it was put together decent from what I could see. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I'm in the market for a new compressor myself thanks for sharing I believe I'm going to go to Northern Tool and get one of their North Star compressors.

Good luck with your new compressor. I've seen those north star ones they look nice. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Think this would run a die grinder or air hammer with intermittent use? Hobby guy here who would like to have a die grinder to clean gasket surfaces or even use an air hammer on occasion for rotors.

@userx702 I haven't used this one very much yet but it should definitely do it for intermittent use. I used to use a die grinder and air hammer (in short burst on occasion) on my old compressor, way smaller than this one.

I'd use some Rectorseal on those threads (yellow pipe dope that works for compressed air and for natural gas as well as water). I've always had good results when using Rectorseal on air fittings. What did you decide to do?

Might try the thread sealer. Still won't help the fact that it was cross threaded and probably ruined the threads though. Thanks for watching and commenting. Will probably return it this weekend

What is the duty cycle on that compressor ? I chose an IR Garagemate because it has a 100% duty cycle.

No clue. The original plan for the video was to break it in then get the book out and go over the specs. After realizing I had gotten another defective unit the video plans changed lol. Thanks for watching and commenting though I appreciate it.

Has Dewalt seen any of these videos and have any comments. This is not the only video showing cross threading.

I specifically sent this video to them. They seemed like they could really care less. Tractor supply was great, I didn't even tell them about the issue with this one I didn't feel like hauling it back and I got that thing put back in there correctly and it's been fine so far. Still pathetic craftsmanship I think though.

It makes no sense why Dewalt who is owned by Black & Decker makes the big bold sticker statement " Made in America" and have such quality crap. There is no way this should make out of their plant. At least Tractor Supply cares about their customers. Shame Shame Dewalt and Black & Decker.

@@waynebussert5180 I agree it's ridiculous something like that made it through the line. Thanks again for watching.

A few years ago you could have bought the 60 gallon for the same price.

You're right! It's ridiculous isn't it? Thanks for watching and commenting.

The way you flip flop that wrench and apply pressure with it backwards…I’m not sure you should be doing your own repairs
