I have a smaller Campbell Hausfield unit (5hp/13gal) and my neighbor has the 
same Sears compressor you're considering. Campbell Hausfield seems to be a 
good brand, however, considering I'm constantly using my neighbor's compressor, 
I'd say I'd go with the Sears, even though it's not a fair comparasion based on 
their size differences. The Craftsman just seems to be a bit nicer.
