by Hitachi 30-day satisfaction guarantee and one-year warranty on parts and labor 15 amps Belt-drive motorfound in EC16's reviews: Rama Timmons - I bought this compressor about 2 months ago and have had nothing but trouble with it. The Hitachi compressor I got first was broken in shipping and did not work so I sent it back. The next compressor arrived and it to was broken in shipping, but I decided to keep it since it was still working. Now that I have used it for over a month I've decided that my Ten Year old Compressor from Montgomery Ward believe it or not works much better. The Hitachi compressor takes forever to get up to pressure and if you are sheating a roof or a floor it will not keep up with even one nail gun. Even framing walls with only one nail gun the compressor can not keep up I have to go back with a hammer and finish driving 50% of all the nails. Do not buy this compressor unless the only thing you plan on doing is making bird houses with it!. |
| 3 HP, 4-Gallon Pancake Compressor | Porter-Cable CPF23400P | |

by Porter-Cable One Year Warranty Supports use of all brad and finish nailers and moderate use of framing and roofing nailers High-flow regulator allows more work at higher pressures 3 hp induction motor for quieter operation High-pressure technology provides more usable air for longer run timefound in CPF23400P's reviews: A good compressor to get you started. - I shopped extensively for a light duty compressor based on the following criteria: price, weight, and flow rating. It features the same motor and compressor as the PC 3HP twin stack model but is $40 cheaper and about 10 pounds lighter. Other than that what can I say - it pumps air. It is fairly loud, but I haven't listened to many other models to make an educated comparison. Especially after I drove my first nail with the PC finish nailer I bought to go along with it. I have used it quite a bit for high air flow operations, such as blowing off dust / debris and even running an air chisel to bust up concrete. It often runs full time for 5-10 minutes and is able to keep up with air demand. If you are going to be regularly moving the compressor around, spend the extra. I actually ran a compressed air line out to my garage, so the compressor can stay put in the basement and avoid potential damage from moving it. *** 4-year update *** I have owned this compressor for 4+ years now and am still completely satisfied. I used a hand held, air chisel to break up the mortar joints. The compressor was operating at 100% duty cycle for 10-15 minutes at a stretch, but couldn't quite keep up with continuous use of the air chisel. As an last ditch experiment, I bought a 10 gal portable air storage tank, some extra quick disconnect fittings and rigged up a reserve tank in parallel with the 4 gallon PC tank. (yes, I am an engineer) My thinking was that I would run the crap out of my little PC and if it bit the dust, that was my excuse to buy a new compressor. I am amazed to say the PC compressor ran flawlessly for the entire chimney demo and still works fine today. |

| 2 HP Electric Air-Mate Compressor | Emglo AM780-HC4V | |

by Emglo One-year warranty Rugged cast-iron cylinder Performs at above average working pressures Delivers 3.6 cfm at 125 psi Powerful 2 hp electric motorfound in AM780-HC4V's reviews: Great But ... - I have several compressors, but since this is light and runs on 15 am circuits it is the preference for small volume needs such as small nail guns, tires and especially jobs where transporting the compressor is required. Example, a framer and helper will easily outrun the production capability of the compressor with one gun. On a hot day with poor air circulation the motor start capacitor blew. Since this was the only issue with the tool I decided it made sense to repair. My standard motor repair shop wouldn't touch it. The Emglo repair center wanted an exhorbitant amount for the capacitor ($$). The time I spent calling around and shopping for the replacement part far exceeded the value of simply replacing the compressor unit. |
| 3 HP, 4-Gallon Side Stack Compressor | Porter-Cable CPF23400S | |
 |
by Porter-Cable One Year Warranty Convenient control panel has regulator, gauge, and two quick connect outlets Higher tank pressure provides more usable air per tank re-charge New high-pressure design keeps tank pressure between 110 and 135 PSI 3 HP induction motor delivers 7.7 SCFM at 40 PSI, 5.5 SCFM at 90 PSIfound in CPF23400S's reviews: good unit - I run this unit with the PC FC350 frame gun and I also use it with my Senco SNC40 trim gun . Use longer hoses instead , ( I use swivels between hoses and at the nail gun). Great for various air tools - HVLP spray gun (50psi), nail gun 110psi, torque wrench 100psi. Size of the tank is fine, but its really about the horsepower of the motor and amount of air motor can put out so that you don't have long period of motor running in order to build a pressure in the tank. It will keep up with nailers and other "burst" applications without cycling too often. I use it with a Souix air sander and it does run longer when I am working. If you take on a tractor trailer, get a bigger compressor. |

I HAVE USED MINE TO RUN A CONSTRUCTION NAILER (PORTER-CABLE FR-350), A COIL-ROOFING NAILER (BOSTICH), ALONG WITH OTHER TOOLS. A GOOD VALUE ESPECIALLY WHEN BUYING THE PACKAGE DEAL (COMPRESSOR,NAILER,HOSE). ( NONE OF WHICH MATTERS IF YOU LEAVE IT IN THE GARAGE AND ADD EXTRA AIRHOSE INSTEAD. |

Bonus nailer kit is included with a 2 in 1 1-1/4" brad nailer and 1-1/4" stapler. The sturdy handle allows for comfortable handling and simple storage. 1 Gallon tank offers additional stored air capacity. Tank eliminates pulsations caused by piston action.found in FP202899AV's reviews: handy for small jobs - This is a great little combo for the money. max)to run the stapler/brad nailer it comes with. I have had zero problems with the combo in the four months since I have had them. The only fault I can find is with the nailer, it seems to leave a 1/4 inch wide dent (for staples i guess) from the firing head. I am not sure if this is a problem with all stapler/nailer comos or just this one, But its nothing a little putty won't fill. |
