5Good bang for the buck
By justaconsumer
This is the 1st time I have used a "hot dog" style compressor. I had a 4 gallon pancake compressor a few years ago that I sold during a money crunch situation. Comparing the 2 compressors: the hot dog is lighter, quieter, and seems to work better for what I use it for. (that being general use things for around the house).

Tools I have used that work well with this: air stapler(1/4"narrow crown 18ga staples of 3/4" to 1 3/4"), brad nailer(18ga 5/8" to 2" brads), angled finish nailer(1" to 2 1/2" 15ga), framing nailer(2" to 3 1/2" 16d nails), palm nailer, paint spray gun(1qt cup gen purpose), air blower nozzle, tire inflator.

Pros: fairly quiet(did not wake the wife sleeping 5o ft away in the bedroom "big+++"), light weight(easily portable), adjustable outlet pressure, 20 ft hose and quick connect coupler included(I have a 25 ft rubber extension hose that can be easily disconnected when not needed). Fairly small footprint(does not require much storage space).

Cons: the low pressure limit switch threshold could be a little higher. If you get a staple, nail or brad that does not sink all the way, it is a sure sign pressure is at the bottom limit of usage for the tool and probably the compressor will start to run at the very next pull of the trigger. "just wish it were a little higher".

Also: will not work well with any tool that requires more CFM such as rachets, impact drivers, sanders, etc. (knew this before ordering so not a big deal for me). Just saying.
Considering I have only had the chance to use it a month, do not know how long unit will last overall; but do not expect it to be a lifetime(20-30yr) thing either.

All in all; pretty good bang for the buck. Better than the "tire inflator" types that are about the same price. Very pleased with purchase, and if needed would definitely purchase one again.

4Great for most repairs
By Michael Valdes
I bought this for its portability. When I don't want to haul my large compressor upstairs for minor projects, I thought this would fit the bill. And, it does. Actually, it will even run my framing nail gun although I'd worry about burning it out if I was doing a lot of nailing with the big gun. With the smaller finishing, stapling and brad nailers it's perfect. Highly recommended some smallish projects.

5SWEET PORTABLE COMPRESSOR
By robert b miller
Best price I could find on a portable compressor.Its 120v but,I'm running it off a car battery through a 400watt. inverter.Really nice option in the field. Had a broken rubber foot on delivery.The Rockworth company sent me 4 new ones next day. Very nice.
Came with hose & air chuck with gauge.Light & easy to carry . for $40.00 I probably buy another.
