California Air Tools 10020CHAD Ultra Quiet & Oil-Free 2.0 Hp, 10.0 Gal. Steel Tank Air Compressor with Auto Drain Valve

So far so good, much quieter than my old one. Love the automatic water bleed on the tank.

This is a good quality air compressor and it was packed very well with no box damage, however, the small brass pipe and angle-joint on the bottom of the tank was busted off....so off I went to Lowes for the parts to fix it which seems to be the standard of today (buy something and then fix the damage). I think the damage occurred at the factory since it was double-boxed and there was no box damage. It was also packed with those expanding-foam bags very tightly.

I ordered two different California Air Tools compressors and this compressor came in damaged. It looked like it was dropped or something. It was scratched and the valve in the bottom was broken off. We didnt get around to installing this one for two weeks but when we contacted California Air Tools they immediately sent out parts to fix the broken pieces. I give their support an A+.

The compressor is very quite. The excess air release at the bottom is louder than the motor. Dont let the compact size fool you. Actually the size is an asset since it fits in any corner of your garage. Just make sure you have a long hose, at least 50 to 100 since the compressor have no wheels plus is kind of heavy. I use it with my tire impact wrench, staple and nail gun, spray paint small areas and sander. This little guy can do it all. Dont forget to add a dryer and filter for Floridas humid climate.

Super super quiet! Has a quick recovery time. Overall really happy with it. I just wish it wasn’t limited to about 140psi

Only thing better than a quiet air compressor, is one that works with reliability. Parts are readily available from manufacturer. Never had an issue with these small units. Be aware they are heavier than they appear. Was delivered in packaging suitable for shipping.

Buen equipo lo recomiendo

Noise level

Extremely well packaged. Exactly as advertised. Amazon delivery was excellent. Awesome compressor.

The auto drain will make you jump. It need not: tune the flow down with a needle valve. For a few bucks, bothersome LOUD periodic noise gone. With that revision, this is a good compressor. After a few days of minimal use, a leak formed at the threaded port at the tank top to the solenoid valve. Probably Teflon tape will fix it, but I am disappointed it wasn’t air tight and bombproof from factory.
