I use this compressor with a brad nailer and it has all the capacity I need. It is light and easy to move, but is vulnerable to damage from bumps and rough treatment. A protective cage would be helpful if it is going to be transported a lot, but this would add to its weight and bulk. It is not excessively noisy, and is compact and easy to store when not in use. All this for a reasonable price.

Light and somewhat quite, it suits my small shop needs just fine. An added bonus to this compresser is that it now has two hp instead of one and a-half and the purchase price is the same. Seems well built.

I purchased this compressor some time ago. A bit on the heavy side, but very nice quality and very reliable.

The EC10 arrived with the high pressure guage not working. One call to Hitachi support and a new guage arrived within days. 15 Minutes later I had the new guage installed and working. Since then it has worked well for various applications including an impact wrench. I recommend it for low-medium volume tools.
