Porter-Cable CPL55GH8W 5.5-Horsepower, 8-Gallon Gas Powered Air Compressor

From the Manufacturer

No electricity on the jobsite? It's not a problem with this 5.5 hp compressor. The Honda GX engine powers the oil-lubricated pump to provide 135 psi of air power. The high-pressure design of the pump allows the storage of 25% more air, and more air storage means less down time because tools operate longer between tank recharges. The aluminum pump has cast-iron sleeves with automotive-style pistons, rings, and connecting rods for reliability. The high-flow air regulator allows more work at higher pressures, and easily handles brad and finish nailers, moderate-to-heavy roofing nailer use, and moderate framing nailer use. Your purchase includes compressor, regulator, 1/4-inch quick coupler, and operating manual.

This review is from: Porter-Cable CPL55GH8W 5.5-Horsepower, 8-Gallon Gas Powered Air Compressor (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is a high quality machine... Ran perfect right out of the box [be sure you do the break in procedure]...Mine is a updated verson with braded stainless steel hose connecting the tank to the compressor instead of copper tubing like it says in the product discription...The only problem I had was the wheel and axel vibrated in the mounts so I cut 2 short pieces hose and put them on both sides of the wheel, Now it's quiet...Hope this helps.
