This is the one on sale at Lowes for $299
3.7 HP (Running) 60-Gallon Vertical Stationary Air Compressor
Item # 138336 is on sale for $299 from 12/20 to 12/24/07 while supplies last.
I saw this in Lowe's ad today. This is a VERY good price for a 60 gallon oil lubricated compressor.
They also have 20% off all Kobalt tool storage and truck boxes.
the cfm numbers all look ok to me.... should be able to run a grinder or other air hungry tool... 76 dba is the selling point to me though.
3.7 hp sounds a little low though. My 5hp is a screamer and has trouble keeping up to air demands...

I would not worry about the HP ratings on a compressor. My IR 60 gallon comressor has a 3 HP motor and it is fine. CFM rating is more important than HP ratings. Many 110v compressors come with a 5 HP rating. This is not possible.
Here is a good read.
