5.0 out of 5 stars A solid workhorse!, October 6, 2004

This review is from: DEWALT D55152 15 Amp 2-3/4-Horsepower 4-Gallon Oiled Twin Hot Dog Compressor (Tools & Home Improvement)

I researched many compressors before purchasing this one. What I liked about it the most was it was built to last!!! A solid steel roll cage frame, direct drive cast iron pump and it is oil lubed unlike the oil less Porter Cable that just burned up!!! But also sometimes it's the little things about a tool that make it a pleasure to use, like the ball drain valve that will empty the compressor in less than five seconds, a lot less noisy than my old pancake unit and a quality soft rubber cord. Sure a cord is a very small part of the overall tool, but i can't stand it when i spend hundreds of dollars of a tool and it comes with a cord that's impossible to wrap up when it's 30 degrees ( makes me wonder what other cheap parts are inside )One final thing i would like to add is this unit produces far less moisture than most similar units!!! I use a moisture filter on both of the quick disconnects and i'm sure the air running throught them is dry, especially for the oil less tools i have.

4.0 out of 5 stars DeWalts (Emglows) new compressor, June 18, 2004

This review is from: DEWALT D55152 15 Amp 2-3/4-Horsepower 4-Gallon Oiled Twin Hot Dog Compressor (Tools & Home Improvement)

Looks sharp, provides plenty of air with two outlets, runs quiet. Only negative would be this is fairly heavy (compared to pancakes). I would not recommed for a finish carptenter who may need to carry it from room to room or upstairs on a daily basis.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended for putting hardwood floors down, December 3, 2006

This review is from: DEWALT D55152 15 Amp 2-3/4-Horsepower 4-Gallon Oiled Twin Hot Dog Compressor (Tools & Home Improvement)

I just bought this compressor to use for nailing down hardwood floors. I quickly discovered why Dewalt does not specify the operating pressure for their compressors. (I at least can't find any specification) The Dewalt 55152 compressor shuts off at maximum 100 PSI, and then kicks back in when the pressure gets down to 80 PSI. So in reality this is just an 80 PSI compressor. Pathetic. Way to low to drive the nails/staples through the hardwood floor. How can Dewalt specify that this is a 3.8 CFM @ 100 PSI compressor when it can't even maintain 100 PSI. The tank is rated at maximum 130 PSI.
From the Dewalt website. "4.0 CFM delivered at 90 PSI pump provides rapid recovery". How is that possible when the compressor does not even turn back on at let's say 81 PSI? The compressor can't even maintain 90 PSI.
I was also disappointed in how much it vibrates. It dances all over the concrete floor.
So stay away from this compressor if you need more than 80 PSI pressure. (I suspect all Dewalt electric hand carry compressors.)
