Overview
Plugging in and running a nailer or inflator without a roaring pump is what this Makita is about. The oil-free pump is mounted under a three gallon tank and a coupling is included.
A larger tank than a pancake style unit gives longer between pump cycles, and the low noise level suits indoor jobs. The listing gives horsepower and pressure but no airflow figure. Listed weight is in kilograms and conflicts with the portable description.
Who it's for
Finish carpenters, DIYers and garage users running nailers and inflators will enjoy the low noise. Anyone running continuous high airflow tools should check the airflow need before buying.
Pros and cons
- Quiet pump for indoor work
- Larger tank than compact units
- Oil-free, minimal maintenance
- Airflow figure not listed
- Listed weight appears inconsistent
- Pump noise still present in small rooms
- Hose not listed in the box
Performance notes
Tank size sets how long a tool can run before the pump restarts, while pump output decides recovery time. The oil-free pump needs no oil changes. Pressure is enough for nailers and inflation, but airflow demand of the tool must be matched.
