CALIFORNIA AIR TOOLS CAT-1P1060SP GAL 56DB Air Compressor

It has more features than expected, is a great size and perfect for carrying. Operation is a breeze and wow...it is super quiet. I can carry on a conversation standing right next to it running. It doesnt hop around on concrete like my old unit. Stays steady and quiet, runs smooth as silk. The hose connection is very easy to operate, does not stick like some low-cost connections do.

The self locking fitting leaked if the air hose wasn’t plugged in. Called and left message to service department about it, never heard from anyone. (Part of the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5). Replaced it with a high flow fitting and it easily removed lawn mower blades on a 54 inch deck commercial mower. It also slammed 3 inch framing nails easily.The other part of the 4 star instead of 5 star review is durability. Time will tell, I’m just an occasional user. Nice little , real quiet compressor With An add on air tank, this little guy could preform big jobs.

Super powerful for small jobs, not afraid of bigger jobs. Used for upholstery (hundreds of staples at a time). Used for adjusting car tires. Used for random air cleaning/drying. -> the seal is EXCELLENT - it keeps some pressure for months. -> its ready in seconds -> size and weight are super convenient -> noise level is perfect indoor in living space (but still too noisy to use while someone is zooming in the same room).

This compressor was packaged extremely well and arrive undamaged. (Actually 1 day earlier than expected). I’ve tested it under heavy load for 2 days straight with no issues. Yes it has to fill up the small tank often but does so quicker than any other brand I’ve ever seen. I’ve been a professional Mechanic for over 25 years and have dealt with many air compressors, this one is amazing for its size and output. As for the loudness of the unit... just as described. Very, very quiet. I plan on buying the largest one this company makes for my shop. I hope the quality of this small unit carries over to a larger one.

It’s small. It’s lightweight and easy to move. It’s quiet. It’s fills and refills quickly. I can use it at home, at night, while everyone in the house is sleeping with no issues whatsoever.

You have to hear this to fully appreciate how truly quiet it is. You can hold a quiet conversation with this running right next to you and never have to raise your voice. Im blown away how well it performs. Best compressor Ive ever had! I literally run that night in my basement and wife cannot hear it in room above me.

Excellent product! I have been doing construction for 12 years now so I have been around many different styles and brands of compressors. I wanted something I could easily carry into a customers house and do my trim/finish work and not wake the dead while doing it! This is the quietest compressor I have been around. Now some of the other ones I have been around that are this size are very quiet as well. This I is quieter than a lot of them for sure. Highly if you are looking for something to tackle small jobs this is a excellent product for that. I have been using this compressor for 3 years now and it still functions like new. I believe that California Air has it figured out when it comes to building quality compressors. If you are debating on anything it should be how big you need, not what brand. You found the the brand. It is still my favorite when someone tells me they got a new little compressor and they will brag about how quiet it is then they hear this and want to know where to get.

It really is quiet, compared to others. I love it. For me, it is a little heavy. I can move it around the garage with ease, but it I need to take it somewhere else, I put it in my utility wagon. It recovers quickly for my needs. I mainly use it to blow the dust out of my car, or off something I am going to paint.

The decibel ratings do not lie! This is, by far, the quietest compressor I have ever heard! I got the 1P1060SP, so it is a smaller unit, but for small to medium size nail guns this is great! You can actually have a conversation while the compressor is running. Also, it re-fills very quickly, so its not running for very long! I seriously cannot believe I used a standard, noisy compressor for so long!

CALIFORNIA AIR TOOLS makes great products. I have one of their 10020C compressors and it has been great. I wanted a compact compressor to keep at my storage so I purchased this one. Both compressors are very quiet but this one is super quiet. It is what it is. Dont expect to run air tools and the like, but this thing comes in very handy for airing up tires and float toys. Connect it to their AUX10 portable air tank, which I also have, and it can take on bigger jobs. Cant go wrong with California Air Tools products. Highly recommend.
