Senco PC1010 1/2- Horsepower 1-Gallon Matte Finish and Trim Portable Hot Dog Air Compressor, Gray/Red

This compressor is exactly what I expected. It is light, there for very portable. It is great for finish work. I do light framing with the compressor but because of its size and weight you have to be patient. I have a much larger compressor for framing. I;m very with this unit.

Perfect for what I need in my woodshop. Fills up truck tires just fine if you are topping them off. In hindsight, I would splurged for the 2 gallon model but otherwise its awesome.

This is the cutest little compressor I have ever seen with a tank. I wouldnt use it for any nailing like many of the other reviewers. I have a 1hp Craftsman with a 5 gal tank on wheels to do that. I bought this to inflate medical cart and hose reel cart tires. for that it will work fine. It only pumped up to 125lbs.,. not the 150. Took about 1 1/2 minutes the first time. Seems to cut in around 90 psi and shuts off at 125 psi. For ANY nailing contrary to the other reviews, using this would drive me crazy waiting for it to pump up.

Great for small jobs, trim work, and when you dont want to lug a big compressor around. Suitable for baseboard and casing installation too. The only weakness Ive found is that the check valve failed within two years. Its a $16 part so not a huge deal but I have other compressors that have been cranking for 10 years without any repair parts needed. Its so small and light. Love it despite the necessary repair.

Bought this unit to replace a cheap compressor that failed after a couple years. I mainly use it for brad-nailing, but have also used it for some paint spraying (it is underpowered for that - no surprise). Overall it works very well, seems to be high quality, and is somewhat quieter than my old compressor. I like it a lot. The only (very minor) complaint I have is that the drain valve is not centered on the bottom so I have to tilt the compressor when I drain it. Not sure why they did that - maybe to allow more ground clearance. Not a big deal - just slightly awkward.

This little powerhouse was just what I was looking for in the shop. I do small shop woodworking and lot of DIY on the house. Maneuvering a pancake compressor around the dining room and living room is a big pain plus it can result in annoying red marks all over everything. You reno guys know what I mean. And I havent even addressed the issue of noise. This little compressor is perfect for shooting a few pins or brads in the shop or resetting that pesky piece of recalcitrant molding. It is amazingly quiet, well built, and light. No, you wont have enough firepower to frame a wall or put up five hundred feet of crown molding, but it works wonders on the little jobs. I keep it tucked under my woodworking bench where it sits like a good soldier, ready to spring into action. I still have my larger compressor for the big jobs, but I turn to this little guy first. And I can still hear the shop stereo or my wifes call to supper while its running.

I bought this in 2012 to start airbrushing more seriously with. Since then it has become a bedrock of my painting setup. Its louder than purpose built airbrush compressors, and that is literally my ONLY complaint. The tank is steel, but when not in use simply open the drain petcock to prevent moisture buildup, that and lube are the only real maintenance Ive performed in the subsequent years. Its light yet powerful enough that when needed, I could take it out of my studio and go air up the tires on my truck. Still quite happy to have it. UPDATE: 2023 and it still works like new.

I purchased this unit based on a couple of reasons: a commercial builder was remodeling my bathrooms and used this compressor for trim installation. It looked as though it had been through a battle but the installer said it still worked like new and liked it. The other reason is Senco is a major supplier of commercial air guns and equipment. While this unit was inexpensive, I felt Senco wouldnt manufacture a piece of junk that would jeopardize their reputation. The compressor also includes a short 1/4 coil air hose with standard quick connect ends and a Senco 18ga. brad gun with a sample selection of 18ga. brads in various lengths. With the gun came a bottle of air gun lubricant, hex wrenches, a quick connect fitting, and a small roll of teflon seal tape for the fitting. Opened the box and it was almost ready to use (had to attach the quick connect fitting to the gun). Ive used it now for a few weeks installing base boards using a 50ft. 1/4 hose and and it has worked flawlessly. It is perfect for use with 18ga. brads. It isnt appropriate for nail guns as it doesnt have the CFM air capacity for that. It comes with a tank pressure and regulator pressure gauges. Well made unit, which is made in Taiwan, where many good quality machine tools are made. Would have liked to have had it been made in the USA though.

Yep! We needed a second compressor to keep 2 roofing nailers going. It wasnt the main nailer but it kept us moving instead of having to hand a nailer back and forth. I originally bought it as a handy and portable back up to my main large one, like something I could throw in my truck if I needed to go and help out with a project away from home base. Perfect main compressor for smaller volume needs on smaller installation projects or an awesome second on a bigger one.

This little guy is great for most jobs. It is light weight, small, relatively quiet and packs a punch. It is much more portable and quieter than my big tank. If you dont need to rapidly fire dozens of nails at very high pressure in a very short period of time it is excellent.
