Greater than one weekAs others have written, this unit is lightweight and quiet compared to slight larger compressors. I have a craftsman 1.5 hp compressor that is heavy and rusting away and it is much louder than this senco unit. Because of its low cfm, it forced me to consider if it was too small for my Bostitch trim nailer which seemed to require much higher cfm. Turns out the nailer cfm rating were for 100 nails per minute! The only application I have seen at that rate is a mexican nailing on a roof. If one is carefully nailing trim, a rate of 5 per minute is more likely. Upon using this compressor and the nailer, I found it worked just fine. It will probably work for larger nailers also but will not work for rotary power tools and the like that require continuous cfm. Also I found senco support to be quickly responsive. I went to their web site to download a digital copy of the manual and found an out-of-date version. I filled out their web form on a Sunday asking for the newer version and had it in an email before noon on Monday. Hard to beat.

> 3 dayIm very impressed with this air compressor. Very light to tote around. I only use this for small projects on the job site but use a much larger compressor for serious work with constant usage and larger nailers. This works great for smaller finishing nailers with light to moderate usage. Will it work on a framing nailer. Yes but only a few shots then it needs to kick on for a little while. I also must mention that this thing has held air for days without losing any air pressure. First compressor I ever owned that would do that.

> 3 dayYes, it is low volume. But, that is exactly what it is advertised to be. For what it is, the quality is very good. It is very quiet, which is good because I do not want to disturb my neighbors in the RV parks. I use it to air up my RV tires (QTY 4 - 80 psi), the airbag on my pinbox, the airbags on my truck and my truck tires (80 psi). This works very well for what I use it for. Since it only uses 4 amps it does not load my RV generator much and since it is lightweight it is great to have onboard my RV. Ive have tried the cheap 12 VDC compressors for this RV application and I wasted my money.

Greater than one weekGreat for small nails and staples. Easy to carry around, more punch than I thought possible for 2 nails into harder woods like oak.

Greater than one weekThis little compressor is just what I was looking for! If youve got to do a little trim work and dont want to lug the big boy out, this is light and very quiet! It is not made to frame a house with! Small jobs where you dont want to break your back! It does cycle a lot, but it is only one gallon. That is to be expected. I bet(with the right regulator/filter) it would make a great airbrush compressor! Love this thing!!

> 3 dayTHIS IS MY SECOND SENCO COMPRESSOR, THE FIST ONE I MODIFIED TO FIT MY NEEDS, OVER TIME A LEAK OCCURRED THAT I COULD NOT IDENTIFY DUE TO THE MODIFICATION I MADE ( LET ME BE CLEAR, NOT A FAULT OF THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT.) THE NOISE FACTOR IS VERY MINIMAL, NOT EVER CLOSE TO ALL THE OTHER COMPRESSORS I HAVE OWNED. I MIGHT AD THAT THIS IS A LIMITED USE ITEM, IF YOU NEED A LONG -USE COMPRESSOR FOR CONSTANT VOLUME IT MAY FALL SHORT, HOWEVER IT DOES RECHARGE ITS PRESSER SOMEWHAT RAPIDLY. IF YOU NEED CONSTANT PRESSURE FOR LARGE JOBS THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.

> 3 dayThis is the perfect compressor for tires and other smaller air-filled devices.

> 3 dayI recently had to change thing at my home studio that i use for airbrushing projects. I had a Porter Cable 6gal pancake compressor. and it works fantastic with only one drawback. It is very very loud inside the house hence all the complaints every time i turned it on. So I went hunting for something a little quieter. The best place to search was here at Amazon and not to my surprise I found and read the reviews on the Senco PC1010 and bought it. WOW! What a great buy for the money. Very affordable, very easy to get around and best of all it is very quiet. the recovery time is very short. If you are looking for a great airbrush compressor save yourself a lot of money and get this compressor. You will not regret it.

> 3 dayAs a woodworker, I have owned all the popular small compressors, all of them. This is the first one that makes me happy. It is compact, lightweight, and quiet. It pumps out the air without effort and runs all my guns from 15 gauge and smaller. Don’t use this for framing, but everything else is plenty of capacity. I looked this over and the fit and finish is first rate. I would highly recommend it.

> 3 dayQuiet-reliable-light weight, is perfect for little projects. Used it to shoot small staples on an exterior project putting up lattice. I like having it available for quick stuff to. I dont have to get the big compressor out for a tiny job. it also can do work like a big unit but just not as fast. You can put it a car and drive to a job-site for small things.
