No other meaning of 'Compare to' should be implied. Prices advertised by others may vary by location. To receive the coupon prices online, the coupon code(s) must be entered into your shopping cart.Īt Harbor Freight Tools, the 'Compare to' price means that the specified comparison, which is an item with the same or similar function, was advertised for sale at or above the 'Compare to' price by another additional retailer in the U.S. PRICES - Although we make every effort to assure that our prices, products and coupons are advertised as accurately as possible, we are only human, and in the event an error is made, we reserve the right to correct it. No use on prior purchases after 30 days from original purchase or without original receipt. The difference is in the service and warranty, usually they're the same product though.Original coupon only. Everybody sells their name brand products under cheaper names nowadays. I'm a firm believer in you DON'T always get what you pay for. If you look closely it looks like a carbon copy of the IR unit, except it's $79 on sale right now. Regarding the impact, people swear by the Central Pneumatics 'Earthquake' impact. The pulley is encased in plastic, the Lowes is encased in metal. The Home Depot one is rated at 15 amps, the Lowes is rated at 16 amps ($499 unit, same as mine). What I did was physically look on the motor and find the Amp rating. Basically you shouldn't believe what they advertise.

There is tons of information out there about how to properly rate the electric motors. That'd be strange if they did though.ĪndyIf I'm not mistaken the Home Depot and Lowes Motors are rated wrong. I wonder if the HF up north has the 3848 with a bigger motor. I can get basically the same setup at HD for $399 what HF sells for $397 but the HD (Husky) has a 5hp motor. I just went and laid eyes on it and it is a little 3.5 hp motor. Is your HF pulley and belt encased in a wire cage or encased in a plastic shroud? Aaaarg.bastards again! I can't read the fine print on the 25%, but I'll see if it can be used. The 20% coupon says it must be used in one of their retail stores. May have to try to get it on-line if they'll accept the 25% coupon. I saw on-line that they had the IR 1/2' Titanium impact for $269 and was ready to walk out with that using the 20% coupon. Now with the 25% off coupon, that may make the HF compressor a better value at ~300.00. I'm about 95% sure these guys make this compressor.I was afraid of that. I am guessing the 660V was replaced with the 661V, but that's just a guess. They are identical in every way as well.īasically it is the same compressor as model 661V (Mine is labelled US 660V) in the link that Mog416 mentioned.

Is also available at HF for $329 regular price. One other thing, the $379 Lowes compressor show here: So with a 20% off coupon I can get this guy for $317! Saved $200 just by paying attention. BTW, I can't find the HF unit on their website, but its in their stores. The Lowes unit is rated at 78db for noise. The motors and tank are exactly the same, everything is the same. I think it's just a regulator thing though that can be fixed. The only difference is that the HF unit is advertised as 130psi Max and the Lowes one is 135. In the end I found out that Harbor Freight has a 60 Gal compressor for $397 (regular price) that is identical in every way to the $499 compressor at lowes shown here: Wrote down everything about each of the compressors down to the tank mfg and the motor P/N. Went to Lowes, HD, Harbor Freight and Sears. Finally started pounding the pavement after being convinced I could in fact use a 220V in my garage. So I've been shopping for air compressors as evident by a number of threads.
