Cons:
Low Quality
Loud and unreliable piston housing

Review Posted 01/15/2014 
After limited use for over a year, the piston housing cracked in two. The warranty had expired and even though I pointed out to the Kobalt cust. serv. rep that this seemed to be a defect since Ive read other reviews with the same complaint, he said I was the 1st to complain. HARD TO BELIEVE!!

I could order a replacement part (which I think would be foolish for an obviously defective part) for $198.43 including shipping. I bought the entire unit on sale at Lowes for around $300. NO SATISFACTION FROM KOBALT AND I WILL NOT RECOMMEND ANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS OR THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE TO ANYONE.
