I needed a good quality air compressor for my nail guns and I purchased the Dewalt D55151. I have had the compressor for about 2 months and so far it has performed better than I ever expected! It's great! The only drawback is that it does not come with a female hose connector, so I purchased and installed a manifold to accept 2 female connectors.

Designed to be sturdy yet lightweight, the compressor weighs only 53. found in D55151BN's reviews: *Good Compressor/Nailer combo* - I bought this compressor mainly to run nailers for those jobs, as well as other around the house usage. I had read that oil-lubed compressors were quieter and lasted longer, so I was looking for an oil-lubed motor in particular. I was somewhat dissapointed by the amount of noise generated by the compressor. I'm not sure what it is yet, but it doesn't seem to affect the operation of the unit, and I didn't want to send it back for repairs, since I have a bit of a deadline on some of my jobs. The rattling bit is the main reason for giving the compressor a 4 instead of a 5. The compressor works very well, and I'm quite happy with it. It seems fairly well made, and all the components are pretty easy to get to if repairs are needed for some reason. At the time I bought it, Amazon was running a very nice $75 off $300 promotion, and also offering a free air hose, so I feel that I got a great deal on a very good combo.
*3HP/ 4 Gallon Oiled Twin Hot Dog Compressor* \| Stanley Bostitch CWC200ST**
	$329.99 >> $279.99 by Bostitch 5.1CFM @40 and 4.0CFM @90 Synthetic pump oil for low temp operation Dual air outlets Cast iron pump cylinder for extreme durability 3 peak HP 15 amp induction motor found in CWC200ST's description: From the Manufacturer 3HP Oil Lube Stack Tank Compressor. Product Description Portable, electric powered compressor with 3 HP, high output, heavy-duty induction motor. found in CWC200ST's reviews: Compressor head is OK but the extra parts are of low quality - I bought one of these compressors a couple of months ago after doing carefull research and actually going to a repair facility here in AZ that handles warranty repairs for a variety of brands. I estimate that the compressor has about 15 (fifteen) hours of use by now. You will have to tilt the compressor down and rock it side to side to get the water out, furthermore when tilted the lower drain hits the floor impedig drainage so you actually have to lift this rather heavy machine and tilt it and rockit at the same time in order to drain. Shortly after purchasing the unit one of the Quick Disconnects on the compressor will not seal itself after the hose is taken off and will merily leak all the air out in about one minute, I had to replace that so I could use the machine. For about the last five hours of use I started to notice that if left pressurized overnight the air was gone in the morning upon closer inspection I could hear a faint hiss comming from somewhere behind the regulator It was not much just enough to leak and turn the machine on about every 15 minutes even if I did not use air. Yesterday the manual regulator prooved to be the culprit as when I started the compressor for the first time it would not hold air at all. I put my head next to it to listen for the noise of air escaping and sure enough there was a faint hisssss. While I was trying to figure out where the noise is caming from The back of the manual regulator popped loose again suddenly letting all the air escape in an instant startling me and prompting my wife to ask from the kitchen some ways away: "did you do that on purpose?" Well NO. Overall the tech was right the actuall compressor is well done I believe he said it was Italian made the rest is rather sloppy and not thought out well.

But noisy!* - Let me start by saying that I can't live without an air compressor. Those of you who don't have one have no idea how much you'll use it and what an integral part of any household project or repair it will become when you finally have one. That being said, let me explain why I bought this particular compressor and what I think about it thus far. Until recently, I had an 8-gallon oil-free compressor that was handed down to me from my dad after I bought him a large stationary garage unit about 6 years ago. This thing lasted about 13 years with very regular use with a few repairs over the years. This is absolutely unheard of with an oil-free compressor. In order to replace the blue tarp roof provided by FEMA with some actual shingles, I will need a compressor to power my roofing and framing nailers. Portability and reliability are important factors in order to assist with the reconstruction efforts of the community once the repairs to my home are complete. This is why I decided on an oil-lubricated compressor. Although I had great success with the aforementioned oil-free compressor, I do understand that this was more the exception than the rule. It is hard to find an oil-lubed compressor that is both portable and affordable., making them very difficult to get in and out of your truck/car by yourself, let alone getting them up a flight of stairs. This compressor does not come with oil, even though the instruction manual says "only use the oil that was shipped with the compressor." The other thing that you will run into is that it does not come with a coupler to connect an air hose to. Although this is very common for air tools not to come with the required fittings to connect it to a hose, there is one difference here. I have never seen a quick-disconnect air hose connector (the hose end that has the sleeve to release the connection) with male threads on it. (a brass pipe nipple for you plumbers out there) Use: The Campbell Hausfeld HL5501 overall seems to be a very good compressor. If you are looking into this compressor because of the reduced noise level that oil-lubed compressors are known for, then you will be disappointed. This compressor is every bit as loud as any comparable oil-free unit. Conclusion: I would recommend this compressor to the handy home user that wants the reliability and longevity of an oil-lube compressor, but doesn't want to spend a lot of money. I would not recommend this compressor if the noise level is a big issue, but be prepared to spend a lot more money for a belt-driven unit.
*4 Gallon, 150 PSI, Oil-lube, Mobile Compressor* \| Porter-Cable C2550**
	$279.00 >> $279.00 by Porter-Cable Includes 1 year limited warranty on parts and accessories High-flo air regulator and push to connect coupler 12 Amp current required, 120 Volts/60 Hertz/ 1 phase 150 PSI tank pressure for longer tool run time 2.5 HP (peak)/1.3 HP (running) 4 gallon, mobile contractor ??pancake?? style tank air compressor found in C2550's description: contractor style compressor is packed with features. The High-flo air regulator and 2-port removable console are winning combinations for contractors. Having the ability to remove the console gives the user the opportunity to remote air regulation and gain higher air pressure closer to the job site. found in C2550's reviews: Prone to shipping damage, works well when repaired - I have been using this Porter Cable compressor for about four months to drive brads, staples and micro-pins for various kitchen cabinet making projects. The description provided by Amazon is incorrect as this model does not have a detachable two port console but a single fixed air outlet. My compressor arrived in its thick cardboard box with two of the mounting tabs for the shroud broken off the cast metal main housing and the plastic fan broken in half. Once repaired I must say that I have not had a problem with its operation. Average noise and vibration and my repairs have not rebroken.
