I was hopeful my experience might be different. <br />When it arrived, the crankcase cover (aluminum) was cracked, causing oil to coat much of the unit. The inside of the box was oil soaked as well. <br />It would appear that the sight glass for the oil level protrudes beyond where it could be protected from impact. <br />My guess is, even if the replacement unit arrives O.K., I would feel the need to somehow protect it from damage in the field.

I have read the reviews about damaged units from poor packaging and was a little concerned with this but was pleased to see that Makita has fixed this problem. Arriving three days later, the compressor looked in pristine condition. The break-in went without a hitch, but things went down hill from there. After the unit cooled, I discovered that the crank case cover was cracked and the air regulator was broken. <br />Amazon handled the situation incredibly well, refunding my purchase the same day. <br />I went with a smaller, oil-less Dewalt the second time around. <br /> <br />Hope this helps.

I bought my Makita and it came with a big HOLE in the box, exposing the inside tubing and metal parts! I had to return the unit and had Amazon resend a new unit. What a hassle! It should be delivered via crate for better protection or dump UPS and find another more COMPETENT shipper.
