Unboxing and Testing a Harbor Freight Air Compressor! McGraw 3 Gallon!

In this video we do an unboxing, and a few tests for this Harbor Freight air compressor. Seeing how long it takes to fully build up pressure, seeing how it works with the air tools and how loud it is. It is loud but I do believe it has to do with the oil free motor. This Harbor Freight compressor is lightweight, and has a nice clean look. My old compressor finally got to the point of having more issues than was feasible, and I decided to purchase this one based on reviews and price, compared to some others on the market.
Hopefully, if nothing else, this video may help you make the choice of whether to buy this one or not. So far, I think it's a good one, although I've not had it long. That is the Mcgraw #57572 by Harbor Freight!

It's good to see real ppl doing honest reviews. Thanx Brad....This was just the evaluation I was looking for. Seems ppl can't absorb good info without a horse and pony show.

I just bought this little guy & I just want to thank you for your review!

[douglasv]

Thanks for this. Needed to get one of these to air up scooter tires . Never had one of these .

If you would have read the instructions, you would know that there is a break in period of 15 minutes before use. I'm sure viewers would like to know that.

Just bought one three weeks ago, caught a sale and paid $47. Happy with it. 👍🏽👍🏽

Man for being as small as it is this is for sure the loudest compressor I've owned but it is a good compressor for small things around the house

Thanks Brad, helpful vid. Reupholstering an old couch in SF.

Glad to see someone using it for sinking nails because everyone on the net says you need at least a 6 gallon but this would be fine fine for baseboards me thinks

It's a cheaper brand by Harbor Freight. It's naturally going to be louder, slower, etc. than the name brands. But for weekend warrior dad like me, to blow up bicycle/motorcycle tires, the low tire on the mini van and to blow out the corner of the garage with the air gun; the noise and time it takes to fill up the tank means nothing to me. Sure beats the ole hand bicycle pump! :-}

Bought one with a gift card just so I dont have to lug my giant makita around to do some molding in my house. So far so good it pushes the nails in yeah it clicks on pretty often but I does the job for sure I'm happy with it.

Came for set up knowledge of this unit with pressure gauge and connection and the “buttons and knobs) info, but this was also informative.

I got the pancake version with a palm nailer to backbout nails from reclaimed wood.. loud but works great.

[chrismancini]

I just bought mine yesterday to use with my framing nail gun should work just fine.
By the looks of this video and how it works for him that is the exact same air compressor as his she worked just fine.

The “old un” I love it. We speak the same dialect. Thanks for the review lm looking for a small compressor to air up “Tars” and such.

Nice video, thanks. Please be sure to cover the breaker panel in the background. I saw what happens when someone gets fried. He had to go in an ambulance to the hospital.

6 months and its still 69.99 at H freight. just picked one up. the piston ring on my old compressor broke so this will have to do for now🤙

[Playstation-du]

I use to clean my rc car and work perfect I love it....good power to clean around, tire, clean my engine is worth the money

Do you think it’ll run my framing air nailer? I will only use it for small jobs around the house, such as the one I’m starting this weekend. It’s a lean to roof off the back of the shed. It’s about 10’x10’
