Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This heavy-duty compressor has a large wheel like a wheelbarrow for easy moving around the job site. At 6.4 CFM it can run your pneumatic nailers all day. The exclusive patented CCS (Controlled Cooling System) creates airflow over the pump and motor which allows for longer, cooler operation and reduced wear. This compressor comes standard with a auto-pulley belt tightened for its belt drive system to make it easier for adjustments. The O-ring on the draincock makes the valve easy to open and close. Hitachi power tools are backed by a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and a limited one-year warranty on parts and labor.

This review is from: Hitachi EC16 2-1/2 HP Compressor, Oil (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this compressor about 2 months ago and have had nothing but trouble with it. The Hitachi compressor I got first was broken in shipping and did not work so I sent it back. The next compressor arrived and it to was broken in shipping, but I decided to keep it since it was still working. Now that I have used it for over a month I've decided that my Ten Year old Compressor from Montgomery Ward believe it or not works much better. The Hitachi compressor takes forever to get up to pressure and if you are sheating a roof or a floor it will not keep up with even one nail gun. Even framing walls with only one nail gun the compressor can not keep up I have to go back with a hammer and finish driving 50% of all the nails. Do not buy this compressor unless the only thing you plan on doing is making bird houses with it!
