Overview
California Air Tools builds this compressor around an aluminum tank, with a corded electric motor and a portable frame. The listing recommends it for nailing and includes a filter.
A low listed noise level makes it easier to live with indoors or in a garage, and the aluminum tank resists rust. The limitation is that the pressure and horsepower figures conflict, so check the real working pressure.
Who it's for
Trim nailing, small garage jobs and inflating tires are the typical loads. Shops running air tools that use a lot of air should buy a larger compressor.
Pros and cons
- Low listed noise level
- Nailing use stated
- Pressure figure unreliable
- Horsepower figures conflict
- Heavy to carry
- Low air flow for big tools
Performance notes
Tank size sets how long the compressor can feed a tool before the motor restarts, and the air flow figure decides which tools it can run. A nail gun uses little air per shot, so this size suits nailing better than sanding.
