I was told about this yesterday. The item that is, not the actual advertising. Considering it, but I don't know I'd make much use of it.

Seems it was MarJay's quote they used

Found the thread

I may get the air nibbler as I am sorted for everything else

been after a little 'pressor for ages. Mainly because i'm too lazy to clear space in my home garage, and also because i'm too lazy to dig the big commercial one out of my storage garage

Are they allowed to do that?

I know it's posted in the public domain but you could just lift anything and take it out of context.

I'm on my second, first one lasted 3yrs.

If you NEED an air compressor, then this is definately NOT for you.

If you'd like an occasional use air gun to clear a bit of fluff away, or blow up the odd tyre, then it's well worth the money.

My first one failed catastrophically & if the tank had been more than 10% charged, it would probably have demolished my garage.

They're worth what they cost, but please don't expect them to live up to any false expectations.

TBF the comment was published in a public website and it was referenced.

My handlebar muff review was poached on eBay posted my review

The funny part is that it is full of muff inuendos and after about 5 posts it descends into a typical BCF thread of threats, insults, pisstaking and shit talking .

[MarJay]

I did say that, but the branding on that compressor is different to the one I had. Mine wasn't a WorkZone, it was something else. Also being that they don't qualify the statement with "I had it for three years until it was nicked!" They kinda shoot themselves in the foot a bit!

{edit} I wonder if I edited my post now, would that make them liars! )

Person is outraged by picture of cat sucking penis

That was my thread too

That is.... rather weird though. It's amazing what companies will do to make their product look better!

Surely taking the views of a regular person from a random forum is better than asking a well known media worker to write biased comments for cash? I'm thinking of when some terrible game/film has it's cover littered with must have ratings that the producers paid for.

[chris-red]

If the best quote you can get for your product is from a online bike forum filled with cats giving fellatio well, it isn't going to provide me with much confidence.

However I will be picking up the impact gun and shot blaster.

Might have to get these.....1.6 meters seems a bit of a challenge for them tho

As Babba said, it's still a fair bit of money for some tools and a compressor, you'd probably be better off spending more on a compressor that will actually last if you plan to use it for tools etc.

It's a bit cheeky to associate it to the website - if they'd specifically referenced "Marjay" it would seem more reasonable.

Wonder if they'll come here for quotes for welders too?
