This review is from: Porter-Cable C3150 Job Boss 4.5 Gallon, 150 PSI, Oil-Free Compressor (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this compressor a few days ago for my small remodeling company.

I am currently growing and needed a larger compressor for the job site, as all I was using was a pancake compressor from porter cable, and it had a hard time keeping up with the heavier demands I was putting on it.

I had looked at alot of compressors from emglo (dewalt) and others. I also looked at the specifications as I wanted a compresor that would have fast recovery, and high air presure for driving nails in older existing framing.

My first surprsie was the way it was packaged. The compressor had no assembly reqired, and was easy to remove from the box. This may sound like a stupid thing, But I prefer to work than asemble tools or have to pry them out of thier packing.

We tested it as soon as we got it to the job site and have used it for a few days now. This compressor is an animal. it will drive nails with my Porter Cable FR 350 into almost anything, and you can literally go non stop. The recovery is the fastest I have seen on any compressor out there. It only takes about 30 seconds run time to refill the tank from 125 to 150.

The only drawback to this compresor is the noise. It is a litle loud, But we fixed that by moving the compressor to another room, and removing the regualtor panel and putting it into the work area. I wasn't sure I would use this feature, but it is great, as you have your air supply and regulator right where you are working. The quick connects are also handy, just push the nipple into the coupler and it locks automatically. The cart is really handy. over having to carry it. ( It's not light )

This compressor by far exceeds what I expected it to do.
You could easily support two framers and other tools off this unit. For the price of this unit, and the features it is a bargin. I already have a few friends in the business who after seeing it, are planning on purchasing one.
