Purchased the rolair jc 10 about a month ago. At first appearance I was really pleased, looks very well built. It's also incredibly quiet and recovery time is amazing. But...... Out of the box the drain valve wouldn't seal. No big deal, I purchased new one and popped it in. Up in running again. Second day on the job it starts leaking slowly from regulator valve housing, further inspection discover crack. Trip to hardware store and $30 lighter, returned to job and installed new reg. valve assembly . Up in running again. Third day on job ,I connect air hose and quick connect fitting leaking like hell.further inspection find a rubber washer in fitting had come unseated.after wasting 20 minutes trying to reseat rubber ring, I went back to hardware store for a $3 hose connector .installed it and up and running again. So it's been a few days and it seems to be fine. I read tons of reviews before I bought it, all were good. I've had same parts go out on many other compressors over the years, just not when they were brand new. However I feel confident that the worst is over and should have good luck from here on out. I really like this compressor and want it to work out. I'm very gentle on my tools,never abuse them,and I'm using 18 & 23ga guns only. This week it's going to get plenty of use ,so I will give another update. Anyone else have similar experience ?
