Chris,
I have had my Senco compressor for about two years now. I have no problems with it all. I use it on smaller jobs, and as a back up to our larger compressor when the site situation dictates.
If you can get hold of them, In my experience the Flexcoil hoses are far superior to what we can get off the shelf over here. Obviously, at the moment, pound against the dollar 'aint good at the moment.
