Buy Porter-Cable C1010 Heavy-Duty 1-Gallon 135 PSI Max Quiet Trim Compressor Now
I just bought this compressor and sold my 6 gallon compressor. This unit is fairly quiet (acceptable), I have owned small compressors for 3 years now and mainly do trim work, and drywall texturing with these units. I bought this unit for installing a hard wood floor using a Bostitch pnuematic floor stapler and corner round around base. This worked great, it recharged up fairly quick and feels like it is built to last. I know how well Porter Cable tools and compressors hold up and think this is going to be a keeper. Smaller compressors do work a little harder because of the size of the tank, but they haven't let me down yet and I am impressed by how much better they get each year.Read Best Reviews of Porter-Cable C1010 Heavy-Duty 1-Gallon 135 PSI Max Quiet Trim Compressor Here
I ordered one because I am tired of lugging my twin tank Porter Cable around when I want to do small jobs around the house. My twin tank weighs at least 60-70 pounds so it stays in the garage most of the time and I loathe moving it around. I'll normally roll a hose through the house to the job which is a big pain. Great compressor that I have owned for almost 10 years but it is just too big to move around and setup. Also too noisy for indoor use. Also cannot use any old extension cord with it which limits its flexibility.So, hopefully this one will work for those small jobs. I considered those CO2 tanks with the regulator but that seemed a pain with the bottles and the cost was about the same as this little compressor.
Only question I have is who makes the darn thing? DeWalt's version looks identical but painted yellow. Same or similar specs. DeWalt's has EMGLO printed boldly on the front. Emglo is owned by Stanley Black & Decker.

Well, I've used it and I like it. Very portable and easily runs trim guns. It does run a bit more when you are driving longer and bigger nails but still handled everything I have thrown at it. It is quiet but in a confined space, you still might want to wear some ear plugs. Only gripes I have are the power cord is too short (just like my twin tank Porter Cable) and the little power cord keeper wraparounds get it the way and snag the air hose.
EDIT: 2/19/2012
OK have used this extensively in my kitchen for some cabinet and trim work. Works fine except that darn hose regulator leaks just like several others have reported. Even when it doesn't leak, it is hard to dial the right pressure. It seems you have to fiddle with it to get it where you want it, then of course, you don't know if it will stay on that pressure. My twin tank Porter Cable regulator works flawlessly and has for almost 10 years now. I guess you get what you pay for but now I am considering returning this to Amazon for another one or maybe going with the Senco. I like everything about this PC unit, but can't live with a balky hose regulator. Knocked off 3 stars.
EDIT: 3/17/2103
I used this a lot last year with a room expansion. Fought the regulator constantly. Don't use it now going to take it and see if they can replace the regulator under warranty. If anyone knows an inexpensive fix, please post as a COMMENT. I like the size and weight the regulator is a POS and ruins the compressor.

I bought this compressor to keep in my 5th wheel to blow out the water lines. I was a bit nervous about buying such a small compressor, but I have tons of respect for Porter-Cable as I own many of their power tools. The size of the compressor is perfect! It easily fits in any of the lower compartments. Its light weight and its quiet too! I own a full size compressor that I use at home, but my concern was when we go camping in colder weather and I might have to drive home with water still in some of the lines before I get a chance to blow the water out at home. Now all I have to do is run a extension cord from the trailer to the compressor, while its still in the storage compartment, and run a air line from the compressor to the city water fitting. With the compressor in the storage compartment running, you can barely hear it! I set the line pressure to 25-30 psi and start opening up the faucets. With it only being a 1 gallon compressor, it takes a little time, but I can blow out all my lines in about 20 minutes. Its a perfect compressor for what I need it to do!I'm always leary of claims like "quiet" when it comes to a compressor. This time, however, the claim was pretty accurate. Although not "whisper-quiet" it certainly is much quieter than any small compressor I've ever owned. I'm pleased with the overall performance and certainly a wonderful price as well.Thursday, August 7, 2014

Makita MAC5200 Big Bore 3.0 HP Air Compressor
- Folding handle: Low profile for easy storage with handle folded
- Rugged wheels: Job-site portability; One-year manufacturer's warranty
- Built-in storage compartment; Conveniently stores air fittings and accessories
- Air hose wrap: Stores 50 feet of 3/8-inch air hose with handle folded or upright
- 120V; 13.8 Amps and 1800 watts
So, I went up to farm and fleet and bought two new wheels with steel center and solid rubber, heavy tread, put them on and it is perfectly mobile over any terrain, now.
I also agree Makita fudges on the specs.
Most important though is the performance in use, and there, it shines. I've used similar double tank units from other manufacturers and much prefer the design of this unit. 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.
It does draw power on the initial kick on, as they all do. I'd hoped to run this on my Yamaha 2500 watt generator, which is equivelant to a 20 amp circuit, but no go. It blows the breaker everytime. And the Yamaha runs a portable DeWalt table saw, jet 1200cfm dust collector and a chop saw just fine (not all at the same time!)
So, while it is not perfect, it is a good performer and I'm very satisfied with the comressor at the cost.

Amazon's description describes this as running at 1720 RPM which is equal to Makita's MAC2400 product which runs at half this one's speed (and is quieter as a result).NOTE THIS ITEM RUNS AT 3420 RPM AND HAS A SLIGHTLY LARGER BORE THAN THE MAC2400 SO EXPECT IT TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOUDER.

I purchased this tool in June, 2008. It arrived from Amazon in perfect condition. After the initial 'break-in' period I used it a few times for minor chores around the shop. No problems. The problems began when I took it outside. For a machine this heavy it has lousy plastic wheels which not only bent out of shape, the axle they ride on also bent. I am not abusive with my tools and take reasonable care when handling them. Also, one of the plastic gauge covers cracked. In addition, the plastic shroud that goes over the compressor rattles like crazy and probably makes twice as much noise as this machine needs to make. Simply an observation of mine of poor design. But the real problem was the way in which Makita service treats you when you need help. The parts to replace were simple to swap out, and relatively inexpensive. The service rep I spoke with wanted me to drive this compressor 60 miles each way to have an authorized service center look at them to determine whether they "really failed" or not. In the past if I had a problem with heavy equipment that was easily repaired at my end the parts would be shipped free of charge, assuming the item was under warranty (it is). The rep further argued with me that the wheels simply "wore out" from usage. I explained to him I hadn't used this tool for more than a total of 20 hours and that that was an unreasonable assumption regarding the wheels. His next argument was that "Makita only warrants the motor on these tools and the rest is up to me at my expense, to have repaired." Unbelievable. The warranty clearly states the entire tool is warranted for one year. Makita's have always made good tools in the past, but I would strongly recommend you look elsewhere if considering this tool, or any other from Makita. Their service center is abysmal. I can understand them not having the sharpest tacks handling the phone calls. But at least know your products and their respective warranties. No more Makita tools in this shop. This was a poor choice on my part.Want Makita MAC5200 Big Bore 3.0 HP Air Compressor Discount?
I bought the Makita 5200 after I had read all the reviews, almost even before it was out of the box the wheels had been replaced (steel core, airtires).As with all my Makita tools, I'm a happy camper, they perform when they need too.
I really like the storage compartment and the hose storage right on the unit.
Thanks to all who wrote reviews, you've helped to make the MAC5200 better, is anyone from Makita taking notice?
I do have a spare set of originals tires (no miles).I purchased the MAC5200, after reading all the reviews including several very negative ones...
To offset those here is mine.
The shipment arrived in a pristine carton by UPS.
The compressor was pristine in every way not a scratch or blemish.
The unpack, setup and initial no pressure break in procedure took less that 30 minutes. The compressor performed flawlessly.
This compressor is SO much better and smaller than those I had in the past, I was shocked.
This lubricated 3hp is much quieter than my former unlubricated 2.5hp, and puts out more air at the higher pressures PSI.
For harry homeowner, it doesn't get much better than this.
It's compact, with sufficient space under cover to store fittings, gages, etc, four corner hooks to handle 50' of air hose and two front hook to hang either a second shorter hose or a couple of air tools.
Handle can be folded down, to put unit into a car trunk, or under a shop table and STILL BE FUNCTIONAL in the handle down mode.
I haven't tried all my tools with this compressor, but it did drive my biggest air hog with no problem at all.
Since my compressor will spend 95% of the time in my garage or nearby I don't anticipate any wheel breakage problem even though the wheels are plastic injection molded.
All things considered Price, Compressor output, built in features, compactness, portability and all controls including easy to use ball valve drain cock accessible from the front -this compressor delivered for ~ $300 is a very good buy.

The unit lasted about 3 weeks. It leaks, and is not built very well. It was not worth the trouble to return it. I do not recommend.Want Air Tire Inflator w/ 120PSI Gauge & 12 Hose for tires" Discount?
Probably was in the production process. Was not worth sending it back. You can try it & it may work fine for you.The reason I bought this was the built in pressure gauge which reads 10 psi higher than the actual pressure. Its not worth returning because of the shipping. Just disgusted with it.Wednesday, July 10, 2013
Winterize Sprinkler Systems and Outdoor Faucets Blow Out Adaptor: Air Compressor to Female Garden Ho
- Adaptor to Winterize Sprinkler Systems and Outdoor Faucets
- Pre-assembled length: 10 inches (approximate). Pressure rating: 250 psi with 4:1 safety factor.
- 100% outdoor rated, virtually indestructible, impervious to water and oil
- All metal parts are brass.Hose is 3/8" ID Goodyear Insta-Grip, made in USA.
- Assembled in Andover, Kansas, USA using domestic and imported parts.Includes printed instructions.
I am saving 70 dlls. every year and making 100 dlls more by winterizing a couple of friends sprinkler system.If your sprinkler plumbing feed has an inline garden hose faucet this makes winterizing easy.
Step 1 Shut off the water supply to your sprinkler system. Make sure this is done first to avoid the risk of backflowing sprinkler system water into your drinking water pipes. Most systems have a backflow preventer valve but why take a chance?
Step 2 Open the garden hose faucet that is inline with your sprinkler plumbing. Some water may trickle out but it shouldn't flow as you've already shut off the water supply to the sprinkler plumbing in step 1.
Step 3 Screw the adapter onto the garden hose faucet.
Step 4 Set your air compressor pressure regulator to 40 psi and connect your air hose to the adapter.
Step 5 Run your sprinkler system in manual mode one zone at a time. In minutes the water will be blown clear of your underground sprinkler tubing.
As others have mentioned the adapter with the inline valve is convenient as it allows you to quickly shut off air flow to the sprinkler system while you are manually switching sprinkler zones so your air compressor isn't running unnecessarily after a zone has been cleared. Although with only slightly more effort you can shut your garden hose faucet to achieve the same effect. Highly recommended.I was very happy with the blow out adaptor. It arrived fast. It seems to be constructed very well with quality material. I would recommend spending the few extra bucks for the shut off valve. It is an easy way to stop the air flow and let your tank refill if you are blowing out sprinklers. It would be nice if the hose connector swiveled but that might not be possible. Overall seems like a good product.Buy the one with the valve. It is so convenient for smaller compressors when it needs to recharge. nineteen twentyJust used this to blow the water out of the lines in my drip irrigation system. It looks well assembled using good quality components; no leaks. I had to find a gender changer to get it to fit on the hose, but other than that it worked great!
