As of last year, Harbor Freight has been adding new brands to spruce up their image and they’ve released yet another brand, this time under the McGRAW name. As with most of the tools they sell, many of the brands they offer are in-house brands that you will only find while walking into a Harbor Freight store or browsing their online site and the McGraw brand appears to be another in-house brand and so far have released one new compressor under the name, the McGRAW 8 gallon 1.5 HP 150 PSI Oil Free Portable Air Compressor.
The new McGRAW compressor, just as it’s name suggests, is an 8 gallon 1.5 HP 150 PSI Oil Free Portable Air Compressor. This compressor is definitely not Harbor Freights first 8 gallon compressor as they currently have another 8 gallon model by the Central Pneumatic brand which currently is listed for $119.99 on their site at time of writing. The McGraw 8 gallon compressor is a bit pricier at $139.99 at time of writing before any coupons which makes me think that the McGraw brand is considered to be a step up brand to their Central Pneumatic brand. HF even promotes the new McGraw compressor as comparable to Kobalt, which is Lowe’s in-house brand.
This maintenance-free and portable oilless air compressor is ideal for brad nailing, stapling, and other small jobs. The compressor includes a quick connect coupler and easy-to-read gauges.
