In my shop. Doing stuff.
Who is happy with theirs and what brand and model is it?

I had a Harbor Freight that someone gave me. Not enough power to run the blade without hitting metal. It was new in the box.

Eileen got me and Eastwood unit because they had great ratings. Fought to keep the blades in it. Blades with holes work better. The ones supplied just spit out the minute I hit the trigger. I have about 20 hours on it at 85PSI. It just broke the bottom of the piston off. POS.
 
i have the harbor freight (central pneumatic) one and have for about 15 years, once i gave up and trying to keep the fence in it... it works great. i run it at whatever my compressor is set for at the time, usually 130+ PSI.
 
my bluepoint does fine.. noisiest thing on the planet tho... ;)
 
I figured I would update this.

Settled on an Ingersol-Rand 949. This is a rebuilt as new were not available for some reason.

Has been working great. I have not had a single blade come lose. Just runs constantly. I have a bunch of hours total in running it so far. My HF and Eastwood versions died within 2 hours of total run time.

Happy with it so far.
