All I said was:
"The typical Bigbox store horsepower rating is calculated from the inrush current the instant the motor starts in a cryogenic chamber."
My statement is true. If you want to nit-pick it, be my guest. Knock yourself out!
That wasn't _all_ you said. You also said "Apparently Grainger is becoming a Bigbox store if they are selling deceptively labelled shop vacuums."
You seem to still want to place the blame on the sellers not the manufacturers.
I'm not blaming anyone, just stating a fact. Bigbox stores mostly sell products that have exaggerated specs and dubious quality.
I have been using a cheap ingersol oiless compressor for years. Says 3 HP on side. I know it's not. It uses 120 volts. I have also used a regular compressor with a real 3 HP motor, 240 volts. The outputs are comparable.
The ingersol is noisy. The open side cylinder looks plastic or TFE. I mostly fill tires, but it's painted cars, and operated air tools. Some air tools need a little more reserve cfm.

Does a shop vac suck or blow? Curious
