Rol-Air 2 Horsepower 5.3 Gallon Bull Compressor FC2002HBP6

 (3 customer reviews)

I bought the HBP6 to use for my home remodel - nailers, including flooring, etc.

Day 2 the unit shut down and tripped the thermal breaker and would not run after resetting.
Phone support helped me diagnose the problem as a piece of assembly debris (small chunk of paint or glue) being stuck in the check valve seat so I was able to clear it myself.

Day 3 another problem, at the same location, the plastic overpressure line exploded from the fitting because it was installed without a metal insert inside the line (only had the ferrule). Phone support said they'd ship me the parts but they didn't ship them overnight, so I had to go rent another compressor for the weekend.

I hope that after this issue is resolved I'll get good service from this unit. But be forewarned.
I try to buy tools that last a long time - that's why I didn't buy a compressor from the big box stores, but I'm not sure my strategy has paid off.

I am 70 years old, and retired. All of my tools are for play, but I do like to buy the best!
I have a very large, and excellent, Quincy 2 stage upright stationary compressor, a very nice 5HP Quincy belt drive, slow speed, 20 gallon portable, an EC-12 Hitachi (getting quite heavy for me to lug around), and a very old Champion (wheelbarrow style).
This little Rol-Air is absolutely perfect for me.
I can lift it if I need to, but in most cases I can roll it instead.
Convenience is what this is all about, and in my opinion this little Rol-Air wins five stars for convenience.

No problems! the item shippped on time and is working well. From my experience I would definately recommend this company as one to deal with.
