We have tried a bunch of different ones and always return to this one at our shop......Gel cell is only good for 1-2 seasons but easily replaceable with a new battery from Tower or elsewhere......and you can charge your cell phone while you are pumping! ;-p

Hey Falcon Wings, how or where did you get the bit to remove the four screws that hold the top on the battery? The slot in the one I have, have a six sided star with a tiny pin in the center, and the bits I have don't have the hole in them to clear the pin.

Just ordered my Sears compressor. I have been using a walmart slime compressor with no issue but decided to get a higher quality one. I will keep the walmart one as a backup.
I look forward to picking it up tomorrow and using it

I just got a sears hand held one today since my old air pump is starting to go out, it is very strong and much less noise by far the best 100. Bucks I have spent, I recommend the battery charger combo.

Hey guys quick update. Buy the Sears charger :-)
I charged my battery for the second time this weekend and I must have fried something internally. The battery charged ok, and it has power, but the circuit I bypassed during charging must have broken. It is porbably a regulator and it didn't like seeing power coming from the wrong side of the board.
Well I tried. Though im not 100% sure if the battery failed because of this, I can only imagine it is the reason. Going to Sears today to get a new battery and a charger. thought I'd let you know. I will take the existing battery out of the battery pack, store, and save for future use.
Sorry if I mislead you.

They have the drill with the XCP/battery charger on sale for $99.00 so for about $40 more than just the battery and charger you get a drill and the better battery with the same charger. Only good if you need a drill.

I have three of the 19.2 C3 generation(two in my shop and one in the plane trailer) and they are pretty good. Not sure how long they'd last for commercial use but for home remodeling projects they've held up fine.

Yet another update. bought the charger and charged the aparent damaged battery. it still works good, so the problem must have been me soldering the charging leads to the wrong terminals.
Since I have a Craftsman charger now, I will not mess around trying to use my other charger anymore.
The only problems is that I now have two batteries, so I need to find a use for the second battery (portable shop vac here we come!!) :-)

hey for the guys that have the sears handheld one are you noticing any difference in PSI on the indicator and your air gauge in the jet? Mine seems to be off 20+ PSI even after I hit the calibaration. I had an error message on mine but it went away and I am thinking about returning mine and getting another. Has anyone noticed this?
