I was initially thinking along those lines myself in regards to an air compressor, however $100 for an ocassional tire inflator/ hobby compressor is pretty cheap.
Hell, I just used my HF, $20 on sale, variable speed 7" angle buffer again last night. I have used it to buff out three cars after repaint over the last two years and it still works just as good as a Porter Cable that would cost ten times as much (the foam and wool professional grade buffing disks each cost more than the buffer
)
Come to think of it, I can't remember any of my "occasional use" power tools (1/2" drill, portable hand held planer, sawzall, buffer, 4" angle grinder, bead roller set etc) purchased from Harbor Freight ever breaking on me even though I assumed they would with moderate use. I also have Makita, Milwaukee and other name brand power tools, but a careful shopper with a little common sense can make out pretty good at HF for hobby use power tools.
