> 3 dayVery nice small air compressor encased in a sturdy roll cage for protection. The handle makes it easy to move or carry. It has 4 suction cup feet that keep the compressor steady while in use—and they DO work. Perfect for RV’s and-or small jobs like air brushing.

Greater than one weekCannot believe how quiet it is! The day after I purchased it, Amazon dropped the price to $129. So, I had to return the $169 and order a $129 one. Best $129 I ever spent. This thing is silent. SOOO much better than the normal loud one I had before.

> 3 dayI needed a small compressor for interior trim etc. And until now I have used a long retractable reel and compressor mounted in my van. It’s always weird to drag a hose through and door/window which has its own annoyances. Also hate dragging the bigger compressor around for small jobs or finish carpentry. This unit is so light and unbelievably quiet! When I turned on I was blown away. I wished it had higher regulated pressure but so far it’s been great for pins/brads/finish nails. It even drives 2.5” coil nails, but you have to let the motor catch up so you can’t rapid fire. For a remodel it may shoot a few framing nails too, but within reason and one might have to hammer the nail right.

> 3 dayEvery positive review you read of this compressor is right on. Based on those good reviews I felt comfortable buying this air compressor. Because I was doing some framing with dimensional lumber, I decided to try this little thing for the fun of it. I coupled it with a short hose to my metabo auxiliary tank that I already had, the one Ive included a picture of. I found that with the extra pressure maintenance of the extra tank, this little compressor will keep up with framing as long as youre not doing rapid production jobsite framing of entire walls. We were doing a roof overhang makeover that required a fair amount of figuring, cutting, aligning, etc between nail shots, so we werent pushing the air needs to an extreme. I have another large 220V compressor that will keep up with all but heavy air use associated with complete repaint coat of a vehicle. This little compressor will be handy for many remote applications, especially if you have a quality auxiliary tank. FWIW, I filled the tank with the other compressor so I started out with a full tank that I hooked the little Metabo to, then started the framing work. So the little Metabo didnt have to work to fill up the tank from the very beginning. No overheating or circuit breaker tripping at all, so very pleased with the results. This is a good little compressor. Youll like it!

04-06-2025I have a small tool I use to make detail carving on wood. I got about 5 seconds of use before the compressor needed to take a breath. I need to admit a mistake. I sent the compressor back and then remembered that I had not adjusted the pressure. The knob that regulates how much pressure is going to the hose. I replaced it with a 2.6 gallon tank Makita that is better for the work I do.

> 3 dayAs long as you dont need a large volume of air this thing is great. Its not going to supply a framing nailer but for trim nailers and tire inflation its totally adequate.
