In the long run the price came out the same but I got myself a Delta 10" tablesaw, 16' extension ladder(fiberglass), and this framing gun compressor kit. 9th and after opening the box I noticed the compressor was damaged. I'd recommend this compressor and framing gun to any DIY person. My next purchase will be a Porter-Cable Finishing Gun to help with the remodeling and I'll definitely be purchasing it from Amazon.

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. So, in true Porter-Cable fashion the engineers came up with a completely different pump. 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: Does it job w/ no problems - Unless I just happened to get a good one; I have had no problems w/ this compressor. It is the garage compressor and is exposed to humidity of 70% or more and temps from 33-90's. I have use it to pump car tires, run air nailers,a small porter cable detail spray gun and even a ingersol rand 1/4" air rachtet. I have changed oil once and air filter once. 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. I wrote the above review a week ago. 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.

I adapted it to get the compressor running. After I get some experience with the compressor, I'll update this review. pump bearings leaking after one year of light duty use - unit now in shop waiting for parts, down time three to four weeks, had to borrow small compressor from family member. I would not recomend this compressor at all. A better compressor would be home depots huskey 60 gal a much better built unit at 399.00 pump is solid cast iron and the tubing is copper vs alumium that poter cable uses .I think poter cable** should stick to building beltsanders, routers,& sawzalls.

It can't keep up with one Porter Cable Mag framing nailer when bounce nailing sheeting and runs constantly.* ok compressor - I've had this compressor for about 3 years and while it is a good compressor I find it to be very loud compared to others in the same class. Finally Porter cable needs a better system for the cord. Porter-Cable C3151 - I asked tech support if this could just need to have the regulator adjusted - they said no; take it to a repair center. Left at repair center; after repair, informed they 'adjusted the regulator. Also doesn't appear to put out the volume of air advertised.

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. This model appears to be the same as the Porter Cable C2540 with the addition of an integral hand-truck. 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. I Don't think that I would buy this one again and Porter Cable seems to be moving away from this shrouded design with its newest models.
