Senco PC1010 1/2- Horsepower 1-Gallon Matte Finish and Trim Portable Hot Dog Air Compressor, Gray/Red

Sweet little air compressor. This is perfect for doing trim and assembly work, airing up tires, using as a blower, basically 90% of what you will ever need if you are not a professional contractor or mechanic. This will not drive a framing nailer for an entire building, but it WILL drive a framing nailer if you only need it for a couple shots at a time. Basically, for home use this is good enough for almost everything and it has a lot of big advantages over larger compressors in that its WAY lighter, easier to carry, and super quiet. It is the kind of thing that is very easy to take out to the driveway to air up your tires, or bring into your office to blow out your computer case, or any number of other similar small jobs you would not want to do with a large compressor. It will still do just about everything as long as you arent in a hurry. So if you are a hobby/home user and you are sure you wont need to do any very large jobs, or you can borrow a big one for those jobs, this thing is awesome for everything else. Fit and finish looks very nice, does not feel cheap. Overall very happy with this purchase.

This compressor is light and compact and easily maneuvered around the job site. Construction is solid with good quality components and great overall design. It is also the quietest compressor I have ever heard. Hurricane Michael left us with a lot of repair work to our vacation home in Mexico Beach, FL. I could not haul all the tools I needed from home in PA, so I bought this small compressor from Amazon to power a brad nailer for replacing floor and trim. The compressor worked perfectly and quietly, and did not even bother our dogs when it kicked on.

I had one of these about 15 years ago and sold it because I had a big compressor. I regretted it, so I bought another one. I use it for airing up tires on the all my vehicles. It was a great compressor then, and they are making them the same way now. Its small, so dont expect to run an impact. It fills and stays full. It doesnt lose air and keep cycling. Its also very quiet in my opinion.

i didnt think this compressor could be so quiet until i heard a friends unit. literally is a purr you can talk over in normal volume with it at your feet. i got tired of refilling my air can from the big garage compressor for use in the basement now and then with small airbrush and air tools and blow off. this unit really fit the bill. quiet enough that you can hear it outside the basement in the rest of the house so perfect! plus it doesnt take your hearing away like most small compressors tend to do! big rubber feet means you can set it on anything and it does not mar or move at all when running. light weight enough to lift and swing with one arm easily, no worry about wrenching your back if you move wrong carrying it. really a jewel!

I bought this to replace the original one I bought 12 years ago that was still working perfect it was abused and showing signs of neglect. The compressor is super quite light weight and durable I use it weekly take it right into the customers homes to do work. I was so happy when I found the same compressor I had for 12 years with not one issue.

This little powerhouse was just what I was looking for in the shop. I do small shop woodworking and lot of DIY on the house. Maneuvering a pancake compressor around the dining room and living room is a big pain plus it can result in annoying red marks all over everything. You reno guys know what I mean. And I havent even addressed the issue of noise. This little compressor is perfect for shooting a few pins or brads in the shop or resetting that pesky piece of recalcitrant molding. It is amazingly quiet, well built, and light. No, you wont have enough firepower to frame a wall or put up five hundred feet of crown molding, but it works wonders on the little jobs. I keep it tucked under my woodworking bench where it sits like a good soldier, ready to spring into action. I still have my larger compressor for the big jobs, but I turn to this little guy first. And I can still hear the shop stereo or my wifes call to supper while its running.

This little gem is one of the best tools in the shop, my co-workers keep borrowing it. When we go out on a job, I grab it with the hose and gun attached and throw it on the seat beside me. We get to the job site and I walk upstairs and start shooting on trim before everyone else can gather their tools. Yeah, it takes awhile for it to get up to pressure and you cant bump nail a big gun with it, but who cares. If I need more air Ill borrow someone elses big heavy two horse job and let them carry the thing around. I shoot staples, 23ga., 18ga. and 15ga. and I use my blower if theres not too much to blow. The homeowners (and I) LOVE it because its so quiet. If it died today Id order another(from Amazon) tonight!

I bought this light weight compressor in 2015 to use with my finish nailer (pinner). I have been pleased with its easy portability and light weight, yet effective support for the finish nailer. Just recently, I pressed it into service to supply my 21-degree framing nailer when my much heavier pancake compressor died. I was pleased, and a bit surprised, to find that it adequately supports the framing nailer as well, so long as I am engaged in tasks that require some intermittent measuring and cutting, like building a wall, and not just straight nailing. I enjoy the convenience of being able to easily carry this Senco from room to room rather than being required to snake a long compressor hose from a much larger, heavy compressor that is not realistically portable. I had initially planned to buy a new pancake compressor for the framing nailer, but this unit has performed so well with the framing nailer, I have decided I can get along without a pancake compressor after all. Overall, I am quite pleased with the bang I am getting for the bucks I spent on my Senco PC1010.

I bought this for only two tasks: filling tires and blowing out dust from my computer. It works very well for both. My main problem is for tires as the tank depletes so quickly and takes a good bit to fill all the way up. However this is in no way a design or function problem of this air compressor, it is solely based on the tank size is small, which I knew when I bought it. Since I do not need to fill my tires up in 30 seconds or my car will explode, it is not the end of the world if I have to wait a few minutes for the tank to fill up. I can generally fill one tire with the tank at full and then have to wait for it to pressurize all the way back up before the next tire. Still, seeing as it works for what I wanted and has always worked when I use it, I am happy with my purchase and would probably repurchase or might opt for a minimum of a 2 gallon on the next purchase.

Im a job lead for a general contractor, this little compressor seems to do everything it is supposed to do! As long as you are setting your expectations up for success it should not disappoint. A lot of the existing reviews are spot on, trim guns, great! Roofing and framing guns, not at all, the only time Id even consider those is if I only had a few nails to shoot and a paslode gun was not handy, but at that point Id still hand drive nails first....... My 16g Hitachi brad gun is about all this compressor can handle, after about 10 shots I have to wait for the compressor to catch up. Which is ok when installing a board or two at a time, not so ok if you are expecting to nail a whole room full of precut trim off in one go. It will keep up handily with my 18g brad nailer, I put it though its paces a couple weeks ago installing 3 1/8 bead boards for wainscoting. I installed 12 straight boards, stopping every 4th board to chck plumb, and it was running almost continuously, but did not leave me short of air. I havnt used it with a 23g pinner yet, but Im sure it would be perfectly fine. Dont hook your air blower up and expect to get more then a few seconds worth of air, thats simply not what this unit is designed for. The power cord is a reasonable length, 6 or so, Ive coupled my compressor with a 25 flexeel hose and its so light/quiet/compact moving it from room to room as you go is not really much of an annoyance. I dont know if running a longer hose would create too much pressure drop. I did use this to air up a couple tires on my truck just to see how it went. Poor bugger had to cycle 3 times to add 10lbs of air to each tire. Not great really, but did the job in a pinch. Anyway, to sum things up, as long as you dont expect too much from this fine little machine, you wont be unhappy. It is a part time use machine, really only suited for trim guns!
