Thanks for the Heads up, what brand of compressor is that?

From Ecams photo with the different label I thought for a moment it was an SGS Engineering compressor, which worried be as because I have a 100L direct drive SGS compressor, and would hate if my wiring looked like that!

But from some googling it appears the brand is "GS"?

Cheers!

You can buy the same thing here in Canada from Canadian Tire under the Mastercraft (aka Mastercrap) brandname and Princess Auto as a "Vapen". Disappointing, Princess Auto's brand is usually the most righteous of brand names...wait for it...POWERFIST! Harbour Freight is a similar chain selling cheapo tools in the USA, who knows what they call it!
I wouldn't worry about checking whatever brand you got. They may be cheap and churned out by the zillions in a factory in China, but no way that original compressor in this post isn't a return to a seller after a buyer has tried to fix something. Bad form on the reseller for not checking it over cuz I can guarantee there were plier marks all over it!

I prefer a compressor with a tank and a quiet one. Some of those little airbrush compressors are really obnoxious. I can use my compressor at any time of the day or night and not disturb anyone in the house.

I have the California Air Tools 2 gallon tank (second link), but if I had to buy another I would try this one as it wasn't on the market when I bought mine: https://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools ... 64592.html
