Last year I was in the market for a 60 gal air compressor. I did my internet homework and discovered that all of those discount 60 gal compressors are all made in China by the same company and come with terrible reviews (look at the Loews reviews for their Kobalt model). Long story short, I wanted quality and found a Canadian Company that sells "made in canada" air compressors! Couldn't believe it, so I bought one. So far its fantastic and definately of high quality components, such as a Marathon motor (Mexico), Square D pressure switch (USA) and good welds with a nice paint job. Yes, it cost me $300-400 more than the comparable Chinese compressor, but it works and factory tested before shipping. My air hoses are Good-Year, my connectors Milton, both made in the USA. And, using Amsoil synthetic compressor oil (USA). You can find North American tools, you just have to look hard for them and pay an extra premium...but you won't be disappointed.
