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

Bought this unit to replace a cheap compressor that failed after a couple years. I mainly use it for brad-nailing, but have also used it for some paint spraying (it is underpowered for that - no surprise). Overall it works very well, seems to be high quality, and is somewhat quieter than my old compressor. I like it a lot. The only (very minor) complaint I have is that the drain valve is not centered on the bottom so I have to tilt the compressor when I drain it. Not sure why they did that - maybe to allow more ground clearance. Not a big deal - just slightly awkward.

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.

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.

Nice lightweight Compressor. very well made and quiet too. You can hardly hear it run. Not for large jobs requiring a lot of CFM but great for an air brush or filling bicycle and motorcycle tires as well. Car tires, maybe if you gave the time to wait a while. Air tools like an impact wrench or sander, no way, not enough air delivery. Its very light (20 pounds) and has no mark rubber feet. Well balanced. Only requires 4 amps to run (1/2) horsepower capacitor start motor. The only downside I see other than the wide spread between maximum pressure 130 psi full and 100 psi cut in, is the hard to get to location of the compressor air filter, its located in the side of the compressor housing close to the air tank with very limited space to remove it (for cleaning). Other than those drawbacks its well worth the price and should last (with reasonable care), many, many years.

I havent actually used it yet. The things I like all ready is that it weighs only 18 pounds. It is super quiet. Well made, so that if it did fall over, it wouldnt bend any pipes , or knock anything off. Everything is well protected by the carrying handle. I used mostly brad guns while out on the job installing trim on cabinets. I dont use a large volume of air. So much easier to lift and carry than my Emglo portable , which by the way has been a terrific compressor. Looks to be oiless as far as I can tell.

This is one of my favorite tool purchases of ALL time. I love this thing. I needed it for a specific project and it worked like a charm. Now I keep finding more and more uses for it. This is not a framing compressor, it doesnt have the power to drive large nails. But it does an excellent job for finishing work and small nail projects. We also bought a stapler gun for a upholstery projects and it works great. I got an attachment for putting air in the tires of the lawn tractor and kids bikes and it works perfectly. Very handy to have right there in the garage.

This compressor is good and quite silent, with a gallon it does not fill a vehicle wheel, you would have to wait for it to fill the tank to continue filling it, it is not of continuous use and it needs time to cool down or lower the temperature of the engine and pump, but it is very good and I recommend it for jobs with less effort, stapler painting miniatures etc.

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.

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 purchased two of these compressors. I gave one to my son who is a general contractor and I use the other, also in construction. The original reason I purchased this compressor was to use in my 5th wheel RV on a trip to refill my tires on the RV so I could maintain the correct PSI in the tires. My 5th wheel is 40 long so it is hard to find gas stations that I can fit into in order to fill my tires when needed. This compressor was only around 20# so it didnt add much weight .This compressor handled filling my RV tires with a few pounds to maintain 80# in tires. It wasnt as fast as a larger compressor, but it only took approximately 10 minutes to do 6 tires. After the trip, I use it in construction, as does my son. He has larger compressors, but when he only needs to nail a few items, or has to climb 4 flights of stairs with a compressor, this little air compressor does a great job and is very light. Its also very quiet. Other carpenters on the job site love it also. So glad I purchased this.
