Ed,
In my experience the tools from harbor frieght are pretty good quality,
though I have never heard of or used central pneumatic. All of my tooling
comes from Chicago Pneumatic.
The filter/lubricator is good insurance to prolong the use of the tool. I,
however, dont use one. The shop I work in has approx 500+ pneu tools and
we dont have one there either. We do add a drop of tool oil in the male
fitting on the tool, it is recommended for every 8 hours of use.
I use a Devillbis HVLP and a Binks 2001 HVLP, both are great guns..
Good luck and enjoy the ease the air tools give...
