I was looking for a quite little compressor for my work area in the basement. I load my own ammunition, clean pistols & rifles as well as other hobby type projects. Wanted something to blow off excess cleaning fluid and dry parts after cleaning. Also needed something to keep the reloading area free of unwanted materials that can build up.
I've used Senco staple and nail guns for over forty years and have found them to be well made and durable. Figured I'd give this small compressor a try. Glad I did. It's fairly quite for the confined area I'm using it in and doesn't take up much space.
It's been used now for a couple of months with absolutely no issues, hiccups or problems. Just plug it in and use it. I did purchase the...
Legacy A73457D Color Connex Type D 7 Piece 1/4 in. Red Coupler and Plug Kit,
Plastair HoseKoil PU425-1-3-AMZ 1/4-Inch x 25-Foot Polyurethane Lead Safe Ultra-Light Recoil Air Hose, Blue
and the Campbell Hausfeld MP5143 Pistol Grip Blowgun
... to use with the compressor and they all work fine. The Legacy Color Connex connector kit had exactly what I needed by way of male/female connectors for the whole set up. Make sure you have a role of teflon tape to wrap the threads before assembly and you're good to go. No air leaks what-so-ever.
The compressor comes with a regulator that allows you to adjust the pressure going to the hose which is a plus. The air gun also allows further air-flow adjustment with the trigger.
All four items are first class in my opinion. I'm a cabinetmaker by trade, so I've used lots of compressors and accessories over the years. For what I wanted out of this system it is delivering 100% and well worth the money. I can recommend this to anyone looking for a small, quite hobby compressor to use indoors or out. I plan to build a sound-reduction cover for the unit and further reduce the noise it makes simply because it's used indoors and I usually have music playing while working in the basement, but it's fine as is since the amount of air I'm using isn't a constant drain and the machine only runs for a few minutes at a time.
If you need a compressor that will have to run hard to keep up with your usage you should look to a larger system. Keep in mind this has only a one gallon storage tank. Constant, high-volume usage will keep the motor running full time and may not keep up with your demand.
