5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect hobby compressor., January 2, 2009

This review is from: Black & Decker 4-Gallon Compressor Kit (Misc.)

Excellent compressor for the price, for the size, and for any hobby or home improvement use.

Comes with a small air chuck fitting, but I'd recommend a long-arm air chuck.

Comes with one coil-hose, but I'd recommend a second hose for garage use. A second hose allows you to put the compressor in a garage corner and reach any car-wheel in the garage (or even the driveway) without moving the 40# unit.

I'd also consider a small desiccator and filter to screw into the unit (remove the installed slide-coupler and perma-mount it) which can save your tools from moisture damage.

The air gun is great for blowing a work surface off (yes, use eye/mouth protection) and filling sports balls, air mattresses, etc...

Lastly, you should realize that NO pancake, twin-stack, or hot-dog electric compressor will deliver enough air for continuous duty. If you need a die grinder, med to large paint gun, or impact wrench/hammer this isn't the one for you.

This unit is perfect for small paint guns (or very light duty with medium guns), brad or finishing nailers, staplers, air chucks, and air guns. Anything needing more than 1 cfm continuous duty is probably not going to work. Anything less is fine.

Max 125 psi (with 75psi auto-turn-on).
