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

I bought this air compressor to fill 29 inch tubeless mountain bike tires. It does the job - just. A sufficient blast of air is needed to seat the tires and this compressor is just able to do the task. I will likely also use the blower to dry off wet chain rings - but I doubt I will use it for much more. Dont expect a large reservoir of air! That being said, it is very light, well built and I do like the compact design. I looked at comparably sized compressors from Craftsman, Porter Cable and Campbell Hausfeld. This unit is much smaller and lighter. On the down side, it comes with no attachments. I would certainly buy it again.

The Senco pc1010 1/2 hp 1 gallon mini air compressor is just that, mini. So if youre looking for compressor to work all day, look somewhere else. This is light duty compressor that will take care of something like putting trim around a door frame. It is not an all day compressor because even attatching a tool will make this compressor start to cycle (ony 1 gallon means you lose a lot of air quickly.) If you have a lot of work to do that requires a compressor, stick to larger one. However I have had no problems with it so far and it gets small jobs done. The mini senco is not bad for a side kick and its very quiet.

This compressor is light and compact and easily maneuvered around the job site. Construction is solid with good quality components and great overall design. It is also the quietest compressor I have ever heard. Hurricane Michael left us with a lot of repair work to our vacation home in Mexico Beach, FL. I could not haul all the tools I needed from home in PA, so I bought this small compressor from Amazon to power a brad nailer for replacing floor and trim. The compressor worked perfectly and quietly, and did not even bother our dogs when it kicked on.

I havent actually used it yet. The things I like all ready is that it weighs only 18 pounds. It is super quiet. Well made, so that if it did fall over, it wouldnt bend any pipes , or knock anything off. Everything is well protected by the carrying handle. I used mostly brad guns while out on the job installing trim on cabinets. I dont use a large volume of air. So much easier to lift and carry than my Emglo portable , which by the way has been a terrific compressor. Looks to be oiless as far as I can tell.

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.

i just love this super little compressor!!! this thing rocks, i can have it running in the house with a baby sleeping in the next room and not wake the little rug rat. It keeps up with my Grex air brush without staying on the whole time like the compressor I had before. I had only one problem with it, it started to leak air from the valve that turns the compressor off when it got to pressure, so I sprayed the valve with WD 40 and gave it a good tap on the valve and walla fixed. I would buy another on of these in a hot second so if your looking for a good compressor this is it at a reasonable price so buy away with confidence, you wont be disappointed.

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.

Had this exact model for 17 years and it just decided to stop, so I bought one exactly like it. Hope I get 17 years out of it and I use it about every weekend

This air compressor is incredibly compact, sturdy, reliable and above all QUIET!!!! I bought the smallest compressor Lowes hardware had to offer (Blue Hawk 2gal) to check the volume against this one and this compressor is noticeably more quiet. If you have small air projects or you are a modeling enthusiast, BUY THIS COMPRESSOR! I originally bought a Iwata Silver Jet compressor with no tank for MORE MONEY and it is complete trash compared to this beauty. Now the 1 gal tank is not huge, so after 15-20 minutes of airbrushing it is going to kick on to build the pressure back up. This is not a problem since it wont vibrate your work area or create a lot of sound. This probably wont fill your car tires quickly, this probably wont be great for doing a full job involving trim or staples. I have no experience using it for those purposes, BUT THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT, INFINITELY BETTER THAN ANY OTHER MODELING AIRBRUSH (unless it is magically silent...but is it really worth the extra money?). My current rig includes a Iwata Eclipse CS Airbrush: http://www.amazon.com/Iwata-Medea-Eclipse-Action-Airbrush-Gravity/dp/B000BQKFAI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396296116&sr=8-1&keywords=iwata+eclipse Image Dual Action Airbrush ($17 chrome airbrush...its good for a quick color): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0065ALBSO/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Craft Airbrush Spray Booth (UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME, YOU NEED IT!!!) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004ZH7RSM/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Senco 1 Gal Compressor (THIS ONE) Darice Airbrush Holder http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GXBXY4/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Airbrush Depot Regulator (this attaches to the holder mentioned above and allows you to change the air pressure at your work station.

Bought this for Home/ work To use with a pin nailer and 18 staple and brad gun It does not get used everyday This is very quiet and very light Which helps this old guy I was using a CP compressor from harbor freight Way to noisy and took forever to pump up and heavy This is quick and recover time is great Tried it out in the living room and I could still hear the TV I did pump it up to full pressure shut it off and left it sit I did notice it only lost about 5 pounds of pressure in a 10 hour period Very Happy with it Buy it and you wont be sorry Just remember you can not run a impact gun Cut off wheel and so on with this If you need one to run those tools buy a bigger one But for staples and pin nailers this is great
