    While I have never used this particular unit, I have used other tools
    sold under the name "Chicago pneumatic".  I believe that this is
    Harbor Freight's own brand.  While I don't want to put myself into a
    slanderous position, I can only give you my personal opinion of this
    line of tools.  The tools that I have used are not of the quality
    that I would have liked. They don't appear to be made to close
    tolerances and the documented air consumption rate (SCFM) seemed, in
    practice, to be stated too low.  They have not performed to my
    satisfaction and have always been a disappointment.  But, I guess
    this is to be expected given their price and apparent quality control
    practices.
