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

This is a very small capacity compressor for intermittent air demand. I mostly use it in my home woodshop for running a brad nailer. It does that very well. And I use it to clear dust from my projects for gluing, etc. Its very good for adding a few pounds of air to a car tire. Compared with many compressors, it is very quiet. Its also incredibly light and portable. Seems to be of good quality. No leaks. It will fire a few nails from a large framing nailer, then needs to recharge. For around my home, I like it a lot.

Cant beat this for a home gamer like me. Needed a finish nailer to do the trim in my bedroom. Using a 16 gauge nailer, I got 5-7 hits before it would kick on for 10-15 seconds. The regulator, switch, drain valve, and safety/release valve all feel pretty well-made and are nice to use. For an air compressor, this thing is freaky quiet. Almost just sounds like an unusually loud refrigerator. Using the 16 gauge nailer, it did lose a little bit of steam on the later shots before it kicked on, but it was never anything that couldnt be solved with a nail set (which you should have on hand anyway). Really happy to have this thing around. Especially for the money.

i think this a great item for a finish installer such as myself. however if you are looking for a compressor that you can use constantly this is not it. it takes a full 2:00 min for a fill from empty to full. And a full minute for a recharge. it works great for me when i do pick up work because it is so light and quiet. It will run a pinner or micro pinner fine but nothing larger. the one nice thing about it is it does not draw much amperage which is good that way you can run it off of a 100ft. cord. a lot of compressors will not turn over at this distance because of power loss.

Inexpensive - costs about the dame as my tire inflator that died - quiet about as loud as a aquarium pump - well made - came undamaged - started pressured up to 120 PSI or so quickly - with 25 foot hose takes longer but thats to be expected - for the price you cant go wrong. Yes I would recommend. Note: Does not come with hose and this thing gets hot as expected its 110 in the shade in Tucson.

Bought this for Home/ work To use with a pin nailer and 18 staple and brad gun It does not get used everyday This is very quiet and very light Which helps this old guy I was using a CP compressor from harbor freight Way to noisy and took forever to pump up and heavy This is quick and recover time is great Tried it out in the living room and I could still hear the TV I did pump it up to full pressure shut it off and left it sit I did notice it only lost about 5 pounds of pressure in a 10 hour period Very Happy with it Buy it and you wont be sorry Just remember you can not run a impact gun Cut off wheel and so on with this If you need one to run those tools buy a bigger one But for staples and pin nailers this is great

[Sold by: Amazon.com LLC] This is a nice little compressor. I bought it on a whim to keep in garage to top-off car tires and blow air filters clean. Also bought Senco 18MG nailer and it all worked well. But lets be clear, THIS IS 1 GALLON, and its wont do anything in the way of impact wrench, large paint spray, etc. Might handle small hobby airbrushing.. someone else would have to confirm that. It is well built and appears to be good quality. Bought the Milton adapters, etc (S-210 coupler kit), along with Legacy HFZP1450YW2 Flexzilla Pro 1/4 x 50 Hybrid Air Hose (1/4 MNPT ends). Went together well and had no problems.

Looove this little compressor. Its very lightweight and small. Takes up a lot less space in my truck than my pancake compressor. It is also very quiet. Sounds like a loud refrigerator or window ac. Not obnoxiously loud like the pancake model. Perfect for my small jobs where its just me working and not needing a large air volume. It will even supply enough air for my framing nailer. It cycles on about every 2nd or 3rd nail when using the framing nailer, less often with a smaller nailer. This is my go to compressor now when Im working alone.

First let me start off by saying that I am not being paid by anyone for this review. Im just an artist from the Nashville area and believe that, if you find a good deal you should share the info. I needed a compressor for airbrushing and considered ALL the options. Like many folks, noise/ volume was an issue. I liked the design of a smaller sized airbrush style compressor, combined with an air tank. I considered other manufacturers but, again, as with many folks, price was an issue as well. Anyway, after weighing all the options, and I do mean ALL. I decided to go with the Senco PC1010 and I couldnt be happier with my choice. This little unit runs and performs like a champ! The first time I turned it on in our apartment, I had it sitting on my workbench and my wife and I were able to carry on a conversation in normal speaking voice and we were both sitting less than two feet away from the compressor. Im telling you, if youre looking for a small, quiet compressor and dont want to spend big money, I personally do not think you could do ANY better than this little Senco. I did make one modification to mine. I replaced the regulator with one that has a built in moisture trap. Cheers!

Senco PC1010 Oilless Compressor: Purchased for finish work. 2nd unit, first lasted 12 yrs. until capacitor failed. Have ordered a replacement capacitor. While waiting I purchased a new, same model (PC1010). Unit arrived timely (2 days-Prime) but output regulator would only adjust to roughly 86 psi. on the high end and jumped from high to low of 15 psi with no in between readings. Returned for a replacement, arriving today. Will update when I test the new unit. New unit arrived on schedule and works perfectly. Best small, light weight, low db compressor @$120 for finish carpentry work. I highly recommend the PC1010 unit mfg’ed Nov. 2019 over the PC1010N($144).

I love this little compressor. I’ve been using it now for about 6 months. I own a interior trim company and the more we grow, the more it seems I do small stuff and punch work. This thing is amazing for this. It’s so convenient to not have to beak out my big compressor. I actually like using this with my Brad nailer, more then my Paslode gas guns. The compressor is light, and well built. It’s also super quite, I’m able to even talk on my phone while it’s running. I typically use it with my Brad nailer or pin nailer. I get about 20 pins on a tank with the pin nailer and 9 with my Brad nailer. The compressor is also a bargain at the price I bought it at on Amazon. I found it’s about $60 more in the big box store. I will being buying more of these soon for my other trucks. It’s worth every penny and if your looking for a quality compressor for the small stuff you can go wrong here.
