I am another ""sucker"" that fell for the ""dependable"" Husky tool spiel. Husky is not dependable and neither is Home Depot. The motor failed on my compressor after 2 1/2 years. I cannot get parts from HD or Husky. I don't want to buy an after-market part, and should not have to. There are no tool repair shops in my area that would work on it. (One of them said: ""use it for a paperweight""). But I have learned a valuable lesson, here. Don't buy on impulse and question the reputation, because opinions vary. Find out what the warranty says, if you can talk directly with the company's technical support department, if they can supply or obtain NEW parts, and last-but-not-least; if the tool was built in the United States. I should have taken counsel from when AMF bought Harley Davidson. AMF ""ripped the electrical guts"" out of the bikes, and almost ran the company into the ground. Luckily, Harley bought their company back, and Harley is doing well. Husky should buy their company back!
