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

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.

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.

I bought this air compressor to fill 29 inch tubeless mountain bike tires. It does the job - just. A sufficient blast of air is needed to seat the tires and this compressor is just able to do the task. I will likely also use the blower to dry off wet chain rings - but I doubt I will use it for much more. Dont expect a large reservoir of air! That being said, it is very light, well built and I do like the compact design. I looked at comparably sized compressors from Craftsman, Porter Cable and Campbell Hausfeld. This unit is much smaller and lighter. On the down side, it comes with no attachments. I would certainly buy it again.

I recently had to change thing at my home studio that i use for airbrushing projects. I had a Porter Cable 6gal pancake compressor. and it works fantastic with only one drawback. It is very very loud inside the house hence all the complaints every time i turned it on. So I went hunting for something a little quieter. The best place to search was here at Amazon and not to my surprise I found and read the reviews on the Senco PC1010 and bought it. WOW! What a great buy for the money. Very affordable, very easy to get around and best of all it is very quiet. the recovery time is very short. If you are looking for a great airbrush compressor save yourself a lot of money and get this compressor. You will not regret it.

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.

works great

Bought this, was super pleased with it. Works great for running a brad nailer or a stapler. Wont keep up with a framing gun, but I didnt expect it to. Runs quiet enough to have a normal volume conversation next to. But heres the kicker: I bought a similar Blue Hawk compressor from Lowes just recently that runs quieter, weighs less, ALSO keeps up pretty well with a framing gun, and came with a trim stapling gun, coil hose and all the necessary attachments... For significantly less. So this Senco is not a bad investment by any means of youre looking for something to run trim without the hassle of a big noisy compressor, but its still not the best deal Ive found.

I always wondered if the people that write one star reviews are just disgruntled idiots who dont really know how to use the tool they are complaining about....well know I lnow thats not the case! Let me start by saying I have now owned 4 of these compressors.This exact one the Senco PC1010 the first one I owned worked with out issue for 1 year the other three have never made it past 4 months.I am a professional refacer of cabinets and I use this with a 23 gauge pin nailer.Average use is 5 to 8 days a month. They just arnt made to last.I am careful with my tools and keep in the house and clean.The three have all had different issues, but today takes the cake..Im done.The two I had at the job site house both quit working properly with in 1 hour of each other. Compressor no.1 would fully fill its tank and the gauges read 125 psi but after 4 or 5 pins there was no more air being distributed from the compressor.So that one was done ! We tried letting it cool down for several hours ...still the same thing.Compressor no.2 would run until it got to 125 psi then on its own let out air back to 100psi.then after one 23 gauge pin nail it would start running g again and start the cycle all over.this is not pro gear not even weekend warrior quality.It has major production and quality flaws and should be recalled.By the way compressor no.3 back at the shop started doing the cycling itself to fill and then release all the air even with out firing pins ,just does it endlesslyover and over..what junk.I have switched to Makita.Not sure who is writing all these good reviews, but would you want to roll the dice on 3 different compressors taking a dump bought at 3 different times over the course of a year...not me ! Learn from my issues stay away from this product.

This is very quiet and will run a finish and brad nailed perfectly.so small and easily moveable it is fantastic.this is my new second favorite compressor brand the best is Castair.if you want a compressor that will last 20 years buy castair.they sell directly and they are very well priced.And American made.this one looks to be made in Taiwan at least the motor is anyway.rest of it looks like American parts.Taiwan is better than chinese.dewalt,porter cable,craftsman,Hitachi all made in china.senco makes a great unit for a very reasonable price.highly recommended!

As a woodworker, I have owned all the popular small compressors, all of them. This is the first one that makes me happy. It is compact, lightweight, and quiet. It pumps out the air without effort and runs all my guns from 15 gauge and smaller. Don’t use this for framing, but everything else is plenty of capacity. I looked this over and the fit and finish is first rate. I would highly recommend it.
