What John R. said is right on...

"Standard" is corrected for pressure....over atmosphere....

I bought the HF  unit the other day...free shipping on orders over $50  or 
$100

Several who have the HF  and the one from Northern Auto stores [ 5hp peak 25 
gal. tank $199]  say they are fine!...much better than the old 1-2hp units 
they had....

I say don't spend $$  unless you get a 2 stage!......now you're into the 
$600+  range...

Matt...new garage...new tools...all electric!
