Porter-Cable C2025 150 PSI 2.5 Gal Oil-Free Hotdog Compressor

Porter-Cable C2025 150 PSI 2.5 Gal Oil-Free Hotdog Compressor
  • Durable oil-free pump for long life and no maintenance
  • Low Amp 120-volt motor starts easily in cold weather or with extension cord
  • 2.5 gal Hotdog style tank is easy to carry, includes water drain valve and rubber feet
  • 150 psi max tank pressure stores more air in the tank for longer tool runtimes
  • 2.6 SCFM at90 psi allows for quick compressor recovery time, per ISO1217 Only 24 lbs for easy portability

I love this little hot dog!!! its the perfect size to be able to fit on the shelf in my van and not take up valuable space on the floor like my twin tank did. Its 150 psi!!! this thing is perfect for all finish guns but has enough guts for a framing nailer or fence/siding nailer as well. Now, I wouldn't use this all day framing a house but for the smaller jobs where you want to break out the big gun for a bit, its perfect. One of the biggest pluses is that because its a 150 psi, the cut in switch kicks the motor back on when the tank gets down to about 110 psi or so. So when you're using a framing gun or siding nailer, you won't get that last couple of weak shots before it kicks back on again. It fills up nice and quick too. I like this one much better than the pancakes. The last small "finish compressor" I had was this wierd little bostich one and it was cool because it was really light and really quiet but it would get down to about 70-80psi before it kicked on again and that sucked when using my siding gun... and forget about using a framing gun with that.

I plan on rigging up some straps to this so I can carry it on my shoulder like a tool bag.

cheers

This compressor has lots of capacity, but still small enough to carry easily. Good quality & good price.

This product is great. Its leaking out where it hooks into the tank but i think i can take it apart and fix it.Im still giving it 5 stars.

Selected this compressor because wt. & shape made it the lightest by over 25% of others in same capacity range. (24 lbs., the most I wanted to hump up and down stairs.) Product reviews were generally good, although there were a fair amount of lemons being sold or an equal amount of incompetent users. It also maintains a higher psi than others in the range, giving me greater flexibility with my Hitachi nailer. Not terribly noisome, as I understand the flat tank models are. And Rockwell Porter Cable have done well for me over many years.

Small and lightweight, but up to 135psi. I like the hotdog style better than pancake because it takes up less space on the workbench.

Stanley Bostitch N89C-1 Coil Framing Nailer

Stanley Bostitch N89C-1 Coil Framing Nailer
  • Pneumatic coil framing nailer with an adjustable exhaust
  • Patented push-button adjustable depth guide sets nails to desired depths quickly and easily
  • Lightweight magnesium design; aggressive wear guards to protect the tool from damage on abrasive surfaces
  • Magazine holds up to 300 nails
  • 12-1/4 inches long, 14 inches high; weighs 8.1 pounds; 7-year limited warranty

I purchased this gun as a quick replacement for my Max CN890II which Ive had for about 8 years. At almost half the cost of the Max I'm very glad I switched. No case, but I'd rather have a nice quality gun than a case. I overnighted the gun so I could get back to finishing my barn the next day after my Max died.. Oiled it up and ran about 9 rolls of various nails through it that afternoon and it fired on queue every time.. Very strong quick and predictable. Highly recommend this one!

Buy Stanley Bostitch N89C-1 Coil Framing Nailer Now

Just bought this gun after my old bostitch stick nailer died. I must say this thing is amazing.

As a contractor, I love the features it has. It feels well balanced and is easier to fit in smaller spaces than the traditional stick nailer. I like how I can set it down on its face when im working, I just grab it and go. no laying down and picking up.

A bonus feature that I did not expect nor does the write up tell you about is that It comes with a factory rafter hook that is well placed.

The only thing I can say bad is that it didnt come with a case, not really a big deal but here on the coast rust is a problem so I like to keep tools in their cases.

Cant go wrong with this gun.

Excellent Nailgun. At first I had misfires or jams and couldn't shoot 10 nails in a row. I changed the couplings on my hose (the mild hiss was a give away) to better couplings. I reconnected the gun and had no hiss from the coupling to the gun or the coupling to the compressor. I went through 2,000 nails without a jam or misfire! Especially helpful was the extra trigger to convert the gun from a sequential to a single fire gun.

This framing gun is everything I expected it to be. I like the coil nailers better than the stick nailers because they are much easier to work with in tight areas. Not to mentioned the N89C-1 is capable of driving 16d nails which was the advantage of the stick nailers before. Amazon's great price and fast shipping just makes everything that much better.

Note: The framing gun comes with two triggers "Smart" (Black Trigger) and "Sequential" (Gray trigger). I left the "Smart" trigger on as that is what I have always used. Some people like to change out the triggers because of the possibility of a double fire if the gun hits the surface twice. If you can control the gun and not let it bounce back after the recoil you shouldn't have any problems with double firing.

I bought this nailer after working with a stick nailer for far too long. This Bostich is far more compact and versatile than a stick nailer. A friend had his for 18 years and didn't do any maintenance on it, so I figure with maintenance this may be the only framing nailer I'll ever buy.
