you may need a bigger compressor to run the air tools. I had the same one I think and the air gun would run for about 10 seconds then die, not enough air to support it.

It drops the prices about 40%

The nice thing about Craftsman tools is that if it breaks, you can take it to Sears and (within reasonable standards of wear-and-tear) get a free replacement within about 15 minutes.
With Snap-On tools, you have to hunt down the truck (if you can't wait until the next time the guy does a drive-by), and sometimes the guy will say, "We can rebuild that", in which case you might not see your tool for a couple of weeks.
