I have owned this unit for my remodeling company for just over a year. Within the first few weeks I noticed that the drain plugs stuck out beyond the cage. Any time it was rolled onto the cage, the 'easy pull' drain plugs were depressed, which caused rusty water to spray out....either onto your clothes, flooring, concrete, etc.(Not to mention that the handy pull cords get caught on everything, to give you a suprise dose of rust!) This issue took over a month of continued contact with Bostich Reps. to finally convince them to repair the unit. There first solution was to send out new plugs for myself to replace. Doesn't work. The stub outs for these plugs protruded out too far. The threads had to be re-tapped. Also within my short ownership, the exhaust canister has bent over, due to the "roll cage" design, or lack there of. 2 of the 4 rubber mounts have broken off, which makes for an even louder rattling unit. I also am now using a pair of pliers to adjust the air pressure dial. A lot of trouble for an overpriced roll cage unit. I have found that I am hardly ever in need of a roll-cage on my compressor unless I drop it due to the added weight of a useless oversized steel handle that some one calls a roll cage. In my opinion.....over-priced, over-wieght, over-blown, and under-thought. I'm going back to the tried and true.....EMGLO!!!!!!
