It is more portable than the wheelbarrow compressors and can be put in the back of a pickup truck (unit is no feather weight though --- about 70 lbs!) This compressor has the best of all features--- reliable Honda engine, reliable Emglo compressor, overbuilt protective frame and quality gauges and quick connects make this an outstanding compressor. In commercial work, there are usually several trades on site (electrician, plumber, HVAC) and all of these guys are using the same power source. Most compressors capable of running two frame nailers draw enough power that it will constantly trip the the breaker on a temporary service pole unless run on 240 volts. With the gasoline compressor, all you have to do is make sure it has fuel and start it up! No extension cords and no more tripped breakers! We have used this compressor to run two paslode frame nailers shooting down 5/8" plywood nailed every 3" around the perimeter (120 mph rating) and this little guy could amazingly keep up! The compressor isn't louder than the DeWalt electric counterpart when running and the Honda engine means it will run for many years to come. Go buy a lighter,less expensive compressor for the finish guns. This machine is meant to turn out a much more substantial amount of air! The only downside to this compressor is the price and its weight. That is a lot of money to shell over for a machine that does nothing more than compress air! But, then again, would you really be reading this if all you needed was an average duty Lowe's variety compressor? And if you have a pickup, leave the unit in the back and let it run. compressor up. It seems like they could have trimmed a few more pounds off the compressor and a few more dollars! If you have any questions, e-mail me (Azul005@aol.
*2.5 HP 4 Gallon Oil-Lube Air* Compressor \| Porter-Cable CPLDC2541S**
	$369.99 >> $358.51 by Porter-Cable Three year limited warranty Complete with high-flow regulator and quick-connect, pressure gauge and tank gauge Patent pending oil-lube system with ball bearing design Direct drive, no belts or adjustments are necessary 2.5 HP, 4.3-gallon oil-lube compressor found in CPLDC2541S's description: From the Manufacturer Porter-Cable is proud to introduce our first oil-lube compressor. When we first put our engineers on the task of designing an oil-lube compressor we gave them one priority; it could not have the same imported pump as all the other major brands have. Just as in a car, the lubrication system in the pump is the most vital part in a compressor. Now, take this revolutionary pump engineered to last over 3,000 hours of use and add in the "High Pressure Technology" and you have compressor that will run at 150 pounds per square inch (PSI).5 horsepower induction motor is safely shrouded and acts as a wind tunnel providing more than enough air to cool the unit down even under the most strenuous conditions.3 HP Running Patented oil lubrication system allows pump to be operated on an uneven surface Universal, High-FloSM, push-to-connect coupler in air outlet 150 PSI tank pressure, equivalent to a 7.3 gallon tank at 125 PSI, for 71% more stored work capacity 83 Dba Higher 120 PSI cut-in pressure assures nails will be completely driven in before pump cycles on Two pole, 3,450 RPM capacitor start induction motor for maximum air delivery High-FloSM air regulator for more work at higher pressure (125 PSI start and 150 PSI stop pressure switch) Low 12 Amp motor draw prevents accidental tripping of circuit breakers 4 gallon storage capacity air tank supports heavy usage of stapler, brad, finish, roofing and framing nailer Heavy duty cast iron cylinder construction and large 8 oz. oil capacity to assure long life Standard Equipment: Compressor, ASME safety valve, air regulator and gauges, 1/4" quick coupler, oil, and operating manual SPECIFICATIONS Lubrication: Oil Lube Gauges: 2 Quick Couple: 1/4" NPT Weight (Lbs. PSI: 150 SCFM Air Delivery @40 PSI: 5.4 SCFM Air Delivery @90 PSI: 4. found in CPLDC2541S's reviews: Takes to much power and is too loud (also flimsy switch) - This compressor absolutely will NOT run on 15 amps. This makes this compressor almost usless for me because I can never find anywhere to plug it in. I was just working in a basement at the same time as a guy that had a Hitachi compressor and his was less than HALF as loud. The guy helping me tripped over the air hose and it caught on the little shutoff lever. Now my compressor won't even shut off. I'm seriously thinking about just leaving this for the garbage man and buying the DeWalt Emglo compressor. I ended up buying a CastAir air compressor. CastAir is not a commercial brand, but the factory where they are made is about 2 miles from my house in Chaska, MN. These compressors were only recently made available to non-commercial applications (previously they specialized in huge compressors used in body shops, etc. It's quiet, powerful, and SOLID as a ROCK!!! A REAL contractor grade compressor for the same amount as I paid for this PC. I have NO relationship or incentive to recommend CastAir other than I'm a very satisfied customer. Check them out if you want a REALLY great compressor.

*3 HP, 4-Gallon Side Stack Compressor* \| Porter-Cable CPF23400S**
	$466.00 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 PSI found in CPF23400S's reviews: This is a SERIOUS compressor - Desipite its small size and minimal air tank capacity, this is a very serious commercial duty air compressor. AC induction motors like the ones found in this compressor are far superior to brushed AC motors found in most "consumer" air compressors. Because of this motor, the compressor is able to deliver air flows similar to larger 15 gallon compressors. Quite frankly, I'm amazed that anyone can sell this compressor for such a low cost. Aside from air sanding or heavy duty HVLP paint spraying, there is nothing that I cannot do with this compressor.
*2 HP, 4-Gallon Side Stack Compressor* \| Porter-Cable CF2400**
	$N/A by Porter-Cable One year warranty/30 day performance certification 8.3 scfm at 40 psi, 6.1 scfm at 90 psi Two gallon tanks provide four gallons of air supply Oil-free design-no spillage or work contamination 15 amp, 2 hp induction motor starts and runs on household current found in CF2400's reviews: A terrific value - I have had no problems increasing the length of air hose, it keeps up no matter what. I cannot testify to it's capacity as a commercial unit, but if you need a dependable, moderate use compressor, this is the one.
