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

Yep! We needed a second compressor to keep 2 roofing nailers going. It wasnt the main nailer but it kept us moving instead of having to hand a nailer back and forth. I originally bought it as a handy and portable back up to my main large one, like something I could throw in my truck if I needed to go and help out with a project away from home base. Perfect main compressor for smaller volume needs on smaller installation projects or an awesome second on a bigger one.

Noise level is next to nothing! I am used to my big compressor and I am a changed man now lol!

Hearing is believing. This compressor purrs. Using is believing. This is plenty of compressor for smaller, but not necessarily small, jobs. As a guy with lots of woodworking to do around the house, but no commercial framing or heavy construction needs, its perfect. Light, very quiet, easy to operate. Nicely finished. Well packaged. Delivered on time. A great value. To my bright yellow, miserably loud Campbell Hausfeld: thanks for the service, but youre headed for Craigslist, baby. Now, an editorial: Why in the world dont other toolmakers understand that very few of us, perhaps none of us, want loud, clumsy tools? Why do toolmakers think that were just a bunch of uncritical, drooling knuckle-draggers happy to bang on pots and pans and ecstatic to have actual electricity instead of water wheels to run our tools? Whens the last time you didnt wince at the noise of your table saw, compressor, shop vac, sander, router, or other power tool? When is the last time you held a power tool and had that same sense of amazement and gee-whiz appreciation that you get picking up a new smartphone or iPad? Or when you get behind the wheel of a decent new car? Most toolmakers seem stuck in the business model of US carmakers circa 1975 -- youll take what we make, and well make what were used to making, irrespective of quality, convenience, and overall value. If you want innovation, well spray on a new paint color and add a Landau top. Cmon, guys. Apple gets it. Blackberry gets it. Toyota gets it. Google gets it. Even US automakers finally get it. Where are the 21st century power tools? Why should it be such an amazing thing to find, finally, a quiet, well-built compressor? OK, off the soapbox and down to the basement....

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER !!!!!!! I bought this compressor in July 2014, I am a professional carpenter and most of my work is building cabinets and furniture in my shop. I used this compressor in the field for about 4 months....very gently might I add...its still in the origional box. The motor/pressure switch went bad on it and I had to take it to an authorized service center to have it repaired under warranty. No Problem right ? Well maybe a little problem. Two authorized service centesr listed on the web page near my home tell me they dont do Senco anymore so I have to keep driving farther and farther. Eventually I get to one that does service Senco....30 miles from home. The repair was done, at no cost to me....but wait !!! 30 miles times 2 is 60 miles plus a second trip to pick it up. In an F250 that 8 gallons of fuel, add the 4 hours of drive time , which is lost wages because Im not on a job making money and Ive now exceeded the cost of the unit. OH BUT IT GETS BETTER. Two months later the same thing goes wrong with it. This time I email Senco directly asking for another solution. They send me a form letter stating the warranty policies and to take it to an authorized service center I calmly reply saying that is not an option and would like a replacement unit since Ive at this point payed for the unit TWICE. Their reply was to send it to them and theyd fix it or replace it as necessary. I was thinking that was an OK option but then they said I would have to pay for shipping..... BOTH WAYS !!! So either way Id be paying for the unit agian ?!?!?!? WTF ???? Anyone who knows me says Im meticulous about the care and maintenance of my equipment. I have many Senco air nailers and they all get oiled before they come off the truck for every use. I dont abuse my tools...they are livelihood. As a professional I rely on my tools but I know things go wrong sometimes. The customer service department for Senco is sooooooo poor and the experiance Ive had is soooooo bad that I will never purchase another Senco product again. How can a company think that it is appropriate to force a consumer to pay out of pocket more than the cost of the product to use the warranty ? NEVER BY A SENCO PRODUCT

Im very impressed with this air compressor. Very light to tote around. I only use this for small projects on the job site but use a much larger compressor for serious work with constant usage and larger nailers. This works great for smaller finishing nailers with light to moderate usage. Will it work on a framing nailer. Yes but only a few shots then it needs to kick on for a little while. I also must mention that this thing has held air for days without losing any air pressure. First compressor I ever owned that would do that.

Borrowed one of these to power a 15ga finish nailer to install baseboard. Loved it and thought it would be a good thing to have in the shop for many uses. Did some research and decided to buy a California Air Tools 1P1060S compressor. While quieter and faster to fill, the Cal Air weighed 50% more (29 vs. 20 lbs), was bigger and harder to store on a garage shelf. Returned for the Senco and I’m very happy except the first one I received had a leak so Amazon replaced it. Only issue is with Amazon’s replacement policy. The original was shipped Prime 2-day but the replacement was shipped standard which took 7 days. The replacement didn’t ship until 3 days after I reported the original unit defective. Don’t understand why the replacement wouldn’t be shipped immediately via Prime since it wasn’t my fault that the original was defective. Very disappointed in Amazon’s replacement process. Should have just asked for a refund and re-ordered another. Replacement works great, is quiet and pressurizes to 135psi even though rated at 125. Tucks away nicely on garage shelf. I highly recommend this product.

Everything about this product looks Top quality, from the craftsmanship, to the parts used... this should be the last air compressor I buy; should take care of all my needs... I purchased for my plasma cutter (worked great!) If your looking for a small, QUIET & trustworthy compressor, & want piece of mind, then I highly recommend this one! My pc is almost as loud as this compressor... your average box fan is substantially louder! I could run this in the living room, right beside the TV, & no-one would bat an eye, seriously!

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.

The Senco pc1010 1/2 hp 1 gallon mini air compressor is just that, mini. So if youre looking for compressor to work all day, look somewhere else. This is light duty compressor that will take care of something like putting trim around a door frame. It is not an all day compressor because even attatching a tool will make this compressor start to cycle (ony 1 gallon means you lose a lot of air quickly.) If you have a lot of work to do that requires a compressor, stick to larger one. However I have had no problems with it so far and it gets small jobs done. The mini senco is not bad for a side kick and its very quiet.

I usually dont take the time to write reviews as Im too busy, but this time is different. I ordered this little compressor because my friend had one and loved it. He said he was going around looking for things to nail at his house just so he could use his compressor. I know SENCO is a great brand and being an upholsterer, I have used their staple guns and know they are good. This compressor is light as a feather and can be moved around easily. I drive finishing nails as well as long staples with this little machine. When I first got it I filled it with air and then unplugged it for the weekend. When I came in on Monday morning it was still full and the needle on the gauge had not moved. It held air all weekend. My big compressor just doesnt do that. This little machine is the quietest compressor I have ever heard. It doesnt make you jump every time it switches on. Thumbs up for this tool!
