I have bought the model Kobalt F217HKL air compressor about a year back to use in my garage for inflating tires and other odd jobs around the house and worksite and find it very useful ever since my purchase. There where many brands and models but this cute little portable model of air compressor has impressed me a lot that I decided to purchase it immediately on seeing its design. The unit is portable and can easily be pulled using the attached handle to another work spot whenever I need to move it to another location. All my workers have been handling this product very roughly and until now I haven’t had any major repair works done, only had to change the air filter once that’s all.

Unlike other compressors this model is oil free hence requires no lubrication and has very low maintenance. The air compressor has got two wheels which enable us to move the unit easily from one place to another. It has a capacity of holding about 17 gallon of air which I think is less than what I need it for around the work site but more than enough for around the home. I wish it had more capacity I find the low capacity the only disadvantage I have found in the unit but are suitable for small applications.

The process of air filling has been simplified and with this new air compressor the tires can be inflated within a few seconds to minutes depending upon the size and how down they are. It is very easy to operate and has and has pretty good power for it's capacity and is very ideal for most uses. I have found complete value for my money investing in this brand of air compressor and am using it almost daily to inflate tires of vehicles as well as run some odd tools that come to my garage for repair works.
