4 Horsepower 4 Gallon Oiled Twin Hot Dog Gas Compressor | Thomas TG-400HST
Thomas Compressors TG-400HST
$999.00
by Thomas Compressors

Fuel Capacity .66 Gal.
Engine Honda GX120 4 HP OHV Gas
Pressure Switch Continuous run unloader valve with idle down - Unloads @135 PSI, Loads @ 115 PSI
Air Delivery 5.4 CFM @ 100 PSI
Air Displacement 12.4 CFM

found in TG-400HST's reviews:
Air Cube 1 - 4 CFM @ 100 PSI air delivery. The engine optimizes fuel efficiency by automatically slowing to an ideal speed when the air tanks are full.

The engine, even while operating faster to fill the air tanks, is relatively quiet allowing a normal conversation a few feet away. It is quieter than the pancake compressors I have used.

Each air tank has a separate moisture drain valve to keep the tanks from rusting on the inside.

* The air regulator comes with two 1/4" female NPT thread connections. Since I could not remove the stripped hex plug, I used the air gage connection to add a tee.

User friendly compressor - It is very user friendly, relatively quiet and it comes up to full pressure rapidly.Previous small compressors I have owned were oiless types and were prone to freeze up under prolonged use.
Great Value! - As a trim subcontractor we use compressors every day and we have to have dependable equipment. I have had several brands of oil bath compressors. With routine checking oil and air intake filter your set for work.
Packaging major problem - My problem has been receiving 3 damaged compressors.
excellent compressor - It may be a little loud, but I don't know which compressor is quiet. Dials are easy to use, drain plug as well, and it does not leak air.

    This contractor is very pleased... with the compressor - I own several portable compressors, but hate to lug them around. On bigger jobs I still use one of my heavy duty compressors.
    compressor try's hard but comes up a bit short -
    In my case it was the 1/4" copper tubing which brings the air to the tank that failed.
    I have fixed it with some liquid steel, since I'm on a job with it, I'm hoping the repair lasts till I have time to replace to tubing.
    I have used this to build two large bookcase and cabinet projects so far, and in doing so I have learned the compressors limitations. This won't take the place of more powerful compressors,
    but it is great for carrying to and from a job.

    The Professionals Choice -
    Need a great combo 18ga brad nailer with a compressor?

    Of all the installars tools we send out with our crews, this is the one everyone fights for! Lightweight, no missfires, quiet and compact!

    Fits in our largest rolling tool bags along with the other guns and gear we use, like Porter Cable nailers.

    We install a 1/4" inline AIR Filter,Regulator,Lubricators fitted to the systems plumbing to assure good clean opperation of our guns before we send them out into the field.

    When you own a high profile cabinet and door company like we do, its important to look professional and be quiet in the customers home, taking up as little space as possible to get the job done and get out!

    This is one of those tools that helps us accomplish just that! I give this unit a 5 star rating! A great system for lite finish work!

    .

    I'm impressed. - The compressor is small & quiet and has absolutely no problem keeping up with the nailer.
    Woodworker Hobby or Trim Tool - It is pretty quiet and also looks good. I will get an air blower tip for it; so far I'm satisfied.
    Very Satisfied - I live in an apartment, and I agree with others who have found the noise level lower than other compressors, a blessing in that environment.

    Not having any experience with air tools, yet knowing it was the way to go to install casing and baseboard in my kitchen remodel, I agonized over whether to get a brad or finish nailer.

    My new favorite tool! - From startup, this quiet, lightweight little workhorse takes about 2 minutes to pump up to 110 psi. I would not recommend the PC1010 for anyone who wants to drive anything larger than 18ga brads, or run multiple air tools from a single compressor.

      Porter Cable compressor - It's relatively quiet and delivers all that was promised.
      I love this litte work horse! - It is also light and very portable! I just wish the little guy was a bit more quiet but other than that I have no problem with this equipment at all.Everyone can now afford to become an "airhead" Once you do you will never go back to a hammer again.
      Perfect for my needs and budget too - I have a small workshop with very little space and I need to have "air" available at times. The particular unit that I purchased at a local home center offered this compressor packed with a coiled air hose, blow gun, tire chuck, tire pressure gauge, NPT fittings, etc. However, I made a separate purchase of a 50' length of regular braided air hose for increased flexibility and mobility. Just be aware that it's not very quiet. Also, it's a bit difficult to use certain air tools with this model because the capacity and constant volume of air are not that great.
      A good Specialized Compressor - Now this kind of motor is very powerful for its size and weight, but it cannot match the heavier and larger brush free induction motors of larger compressors.

    At just a foot high and less than two feet wide out of the carton, this compressor was quite a bit smaller than we expected, so to be fair, we quickly lowered our expectations. Emglo’s half-century in the compressor business is evident in this model, and with a couple of small exceptions (we’ll get into that in a minute), we don’t think anyone could make a finer piece of air power.) It has air aplenty for two nailers at once, and with that fast recovery, the job will get done in no time. Here’s to a great pairing of two great toolmakers. The package comes with the initial fill of DeWalt synthetic air compressor oil. Comes with the initial fill of DeWalt's synthetic air compressor oil.

    MOTION PICTURE IA - The only thing I can say is EMGLO! I have been using Emglo compressors for over 15 years years now in the Motion Picture Industry and on the outside and I never would settle for less. I must say I prejudged and thought well there goes the dependability and quality of Emglo's Compressors.
    dewalt has never let me down - its great!!never short on air supply,even when framing.as for noise,air compressors make noise but this unit is not bad,its a lot nicer on the ears then my 30 gallon unit. the only thing that would make this unit more attractive would be wheels and a self-storing handle like porter cable offers on its single tank compressors,other then that i have no complants.
    A pleasure to own! -

    The biggest complaint I have about other compressors is the portability of them. This helps to center the weight to my body and I can then lug the compressor up several flights of stairs without passing out.

    The main reason I bought this unit over cheaper compressors was the recommendation to the brand names of DeWalt and Emglo.
    JUST WHAT I NEEDED - I HAVE HAD SEVERAL EMGLOW COMPRESSORS AND THIS HAS MET EVERY JOB I BOUGHT IT FOR. IF YOU NEED MORE AIR THEN I WOULD CONSIDER A 2 HP OR MORE SETUP. THAT MAKES THE CONTROLS FAIRLY WELL PROTECTED.
    roofer wayne - I used many compressors in 28 years of roofing. The only thing that was wrong with the first dewalt was the air regulator started leaking and had to be replaced. Other then that, it worked every day for two years so far,that with two or three roofing guns going which is like four framing guns and I did not notice it starving for air.
    Great !!! - After reading the reviews on Emglo compressors, I decided to get this DeWalt compressor because of the compact design.
    Paradox - It filled the tank quickly and quietly. Other than this faulty piece, I am quiet satisfied.
    Great Unit - The unit is also surprisingly quiet and runs very smooth.
    DeWalt takes a classic to a new level - Originally I figured the CH had a higher air output, needed no oil changes,would work on slopes and start in cold weather.
    1) First of all the Emglo name on the unit reassured me that I was getting a tool built by the industry leader with a great reputation for tough, dependable compressors. The first day on the job proved it with quick cycling times and ample air at all times. Customers have commented on it, how quiet it is and how professional it looks.

    In short, this is a serious tool for the professional contractor with loads of power(delivered air), durability, great design and looks. My only complaint is the air release lever, an otherwise solid unit mounted on the underside of the tank. The opening is too narrow for your hand and the sharp stream of air can actually cut your skin.
    A nice small compressor - I bought this air compressor to do light construction work. It may cost a little more but you won't have to replace it like the other compressors.
    it's too much! - It's quiet with plenty of power and the portability is great.
    Dewalt and Emglo make a complete package, great compressor! - The sleek design, the way it protects its gauges, and its 2 quick conect air ports kept calling me every time I saw this compressor. Inside a house a compressor's noise can seem to be greatly magnified but this unit seems almost quiet, it runs so smooth. The unit really has no real flaws at all the air drain has a great little lever to drain the tank with, but it does blow out hard if you open it to quick and I am not convinced it drains all the condesation real well.

    Wow I am impressed - I have owned quite a few compressors thru the years.
    From a homeowner - The manual says 15 Amps, but its more like a hair above that. The copper one that pumps the air into the reservoir. I made the mistake of buying one of the pancake style compressors and found it a little weak for doing the basement framing.

    POOR PERFORMER PERIOD! - I have been a carpenter for 15 years and have used alot of different compressors.
    Good specs for the price range - 8 amp draw, collapsible cart, oil lubed pump, good air filter and ball valve drain. Did not find many other compressors in this price range with those specs and did not want to pay $600+ for a monster.

    On arrival the box had major rips and crushed areas fairly typical of my experiences of UPS shipment with heavy items.

    good performer, but - It stores connectors and a hose, handle breaks down for storage/transport, It is made very well and is quiet for a unit this size.
    This is a good machine - It's reasonably quiet, and so far I've tested with a 16g, a 18g, and a crown stapler.
