The piston compressor didn't look new, makes you wonder how long this junk actually lasts in service.
Loctite on every fitting, and it wasn't thread sealant, that was plain loctite, so when you do need to change a gauge, hose etc, the poxy fitting rounds off and becomes a right mess.

Well after their submarine hull orders dried up they had to switch over to compressor tanks I guess 
Does demonstrate what's possible with some very basic tools...if the world came to an end it'd be a useful skill to have!

same tube ,,, just depends on the application whether you get a propeller or a compressor ,, and what color they paint it.Well after their submarine hull orders dried up they had to switch over to compressor tanks I guess

Heard you say this a few times about Sealey.
I've never had any issues with Sealey products I have alot of their tools and power tools and never a single problem so that's my experience.

Machine mart receivers are built much better than this. They are autowelded for starters so they've been manufactured to some sort of specification and thought at least

Would I need a compressor if the world came to an end.
I think I'd just settle down with a bottle of Islay, and a box of cigars.
Oh, wait. I'm doing that now.
totally agree . and they have a spares back up on welders thats as good as you could ask for , the wee 180 supermig I use has packed in twice , one phone call , new board delivered next day , under 100 quid and off it goes again . axle stands etc may not be pretty , but they work.
Hmmm, a simple 180A mig packs in - twice, and still gets defended...
Every tool I have, and bear in mind they only get occasional use, made by Sealey has failed. One of their brake flaring tools I would class as outright dangerous. And saying there is worse made stuff out there is hardly an edorsement either.
Each to their own I guess.

Bloke shuts his eyes while welding in a less priviledged country...
Friend went to Ghana for a week or so. Decided to wander off away from the coast were it was all 'nice'.. He saw young guys welding stuff with sunglasses as protection...
On mig failures, my Kemmpi quit. Local agent wouldn't help as a bit old.. So I came on here to find if anybody could help. They did.
