Overview
The EC914S is Metabo's corded electric air compressor with a 6 gallon pancake-style tank, built for powering brad nailers, finish nailers and other low-draw pneumatic tools around the shop or job site.
At 41 pounds and roughly 16 by 16 by 18.5 inches, it's sized for moving between a truck bed and a garage rather than as a stationary shop unit. Standard 120V power keeps it usable anywhere with a normal outlet, no generator needed.
- 6 gallon pancake tank
- 120V corded electric
- 41 pound portable footprint
- 16 x 16 x 18.5 inch dimensions
Who it's for
Works for finish carpenters, trim installers and DIYers running one or two nail guns off a single compressor. Less suited to anyone running high-draw tools like sanders or impact wrenches continuously, where a larger tank and higher CFM output matter more.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Portable pancake tank design
- Runs on standard 120V household power
- Sized for finish and brad nailer work
- 41 pounds is heavier than smaller trim compressors
- 6 gallon tank limits sustained high-draw tool use
Performance notes
Tank size governs how often the motor cycles under load. A 6 gallon pancake tank like this one refills quickly between nail gun bursts but will cycle more often than a larger tank under sustained draw. Corded 120V power means no runtime limit, only a cord length one.
