Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Porter-Cable’s C1010 heavy-duty one-gallon 135 PSI max quiet trim compressor is ideal for finish carpenters, remodelers, and woodworkers completing trim work, custom furniture or storage installation, cabinet finishing, and new plumbing line pressure testing. Its quiet operation at 71 decibels translates into less disruptive noise while working. Weighing just 23 pounds and measuring only 9 inches tall, the C1010 is easily portable and allows users to carry it from job site to work shop to garage to yard to home without hassle.
Peak Performance
The C1010 yields air at 3/4 standard feet per cubic minute (SCFM) at 90 PSI with a max PSI of 135, thus providing high-surge performance with a speedy 20-second recovery. Its 2.6-amp motor powers an easy start-up even in frigid temperatures or with use via an extension cord. The high-flow regulator delivers maximum air pressure, improving job-site performance. The C1010 is also furnished with an oil-free long-life pump that rids the need to check or refill the pump—plus, it keeps the work site clean by eliminating oil spills and leaks. It’s also ideal for use in any internal environment because of its quieter operation (at 71 decibels) that allows users to hold conversations even while the unit is in use.

I just bought this compressor and sold my 6 gallon compressor. This unit is fairly quiet (acceptable), I have owned small compressors for 3 years now and mainly do trim work, and drywall texturing with these units. I bought this unit for installing a hard wood floor using a Bostitch pnuematic floor stapler and corner round around base. This worked great, it recharged up fairly quick and feels like it is built to last. I know how well Porter Cable tools and compressors hold up and think this is going to be a keeper. Smaller compressors do work a little harder because of the size of the tank, but they haven't let me down yet and I am impressed by how much better they get each year.

I bought one of these to replace a Campbell-Hausfield compressor I've used for home projects over the past 20 years. My C-H was still viable, barely, but lacked some pretty basic elements that have made using it increasingly questionable (no pressure gauge, a crude output pressure regular which doubles as the tank drain, no automatic cut in/cut out). With another project coming up, I decided it was probably past time for a change and so began looking. I was very tempted by the very favorable reviews for the big brother of this one, the Porter-Cable C2002-WK, a pancake compressor that was just a bit too big for my needs, not to mention 10 pounds heavier and $60 more. The fact that Amazon had this one priced for $80 on Cyber Monday sealed the deal. It is very easy to use, although as many have noted, make sure you perform the 15 minute break-in by running it with the tank drain open before you pressure it up for the first time. The drain is a levered ball valve on the underside of the tank that is positioned so that when you lift the front of the unit to reach it, the valve opening will be on the tank's lowest point. The factory settings have the pump cut in when pressure is less than 120 psi and cut out when it reaches 135, which has worked flawlessly on my unit (there is a spring-loaded emergency pressure relief valve should the cut out fail for some reason). A knob allows you to set the output pressure level to match the pressure need of your device, although with a 1 gallon tank it can't be anything that requires a lot of air flow other than in bursts. A quick connect is pre-installed for common 1/4" NPT coupler plugs. For me the big attraction was the low profile for the 18" shelf in my garage and the low volume level (it's still a bit noisy, but well below ear plug levels; i.e., you can work along side it). I've set it up with a 30' air hose and tire inflator to have it always ready for that particular need. Otherwise, the compact form factor is well-suited for hauling it to where it's needed, and it is more than potent enough for my brad and staple guns, although a professional might prefer a unit with a bigger tank so as to drive more nails per minute.

I bought this compressor to keep in my 5th wheel to blow out the water lines. I was a bit nervous about buying such a small compressor, but I have tons of respect for Porter-Cable as I own many of their power tools. The size of the compressor is perfect! It easily fits in any of the lower compartments. Its light weight and its quiet too! I own a full size compressor that I use at home, but my concern was when we go camping in colder weather and I might have to drive home with water still in some of the lines before I get a chance to blow the water out at home. Now all I have to do is run a extension cord from the trailer to the compressor, while its still in the storage compartment, and run a air line from the compressor to the city water fitting. With the compressor in the storage compartment running, you can barely hear it! I set the line pressure to 25-30 psi and start opening up the faucets. With it only being a 1 gallon compressor, it takes a little time, but I can blow out all my lines in about 20 minutes. Its a perfect compressor for what I need it to do!
