I really like this compact air compressor. The 1 gal tank is adequate to allow quick topping off of my large diesel dually tires. The adjustable maximum pressure allowed to the hose makes it safe to fill my road bike tires.I highly recommend this item.
I have been using this compressor mostly to install trim. Since I lost my truck last year I decide to go with smaller tools and this compressor was the solution. I have even shot some framing nails with it.
spares). You just charge the compressor tank, unplug the cord and carry the compressor to the tires.
This is all you need if you don't have permanent air use like in a home workshop. I bought this compressor because it is one of the smallest available, yet it is well made for professional use.
It is so much of a hassle to do that at the gas station (and I am anyway always in a hurry at the gas station). Since it is so small you can easily carry it around to the point of use.
I use this compressor for example to keep my car tires in spec. The one gallon tank is easily big enough for all tires of my 2 cars (incl.
The compressor is very well sealed, I tested that the pressure of initially 140psi does not drop below 125psi in two days.
My only concern is that after only running for about one hour of total time (including break-in per mfr instructions), I find it is taking longer and longer to fill the 1 gallon tank before shutting down at the preset pressure level. Bought this compressor for permanent mounting on my RV. This could be an indication that cylinder / piston is already wearing. It is very light and very quiet compared to my larger garage compressor. Make no mistake, this is not a powerhouse and if you need large volumes get a larger compressor. There are no air leaks that I can hear. Other than that concern, it seems to be well designed and built.
The regulator is decent but takes some getting use to. This compressors is small compared to other compressors, and for basic use it is a must. It is very quiet and his a built in quick connect switch is cool for those who like to switch out tools. All in all it is a great basic use compressor. One side note, the compressor comes in a box with no real packing foam to cushion it so inspect it other than that its a great buy.
