80 gallon Craftsman compressor vs 80 gallon Belaire(218V) which is better?

by Alex

Craftsman Professional Series is made by DevilBliss and MAT...Belaire uses an Italian pump stainless steel reeds/valves and is made in the U.S.A.

Both use cast iron pumps and will cost about same price.. between $1100 to $1200.00.

Which one is the better?

I will be weekend warrior working on classic older car and intend to do some sandblasting

Not having experience myself using either, I cannot comment on which I think is better.

I invite users of these air compressors to give some feeback to Alex.

If one is actually manufactured domestically, as opposed to just being assembled from imported parts, then I know which one I would choose.

Cheers,

Bill
