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

I bought this to replace the original one I bought 12 years ago that was still working perfect it was abused and showing signs of neglect. The compressor is super quite light weight and durable I use it weekly take it right into the customers homes to do work. I was so happy when I found the same compressor I had for 12 years with not one issue.

Im a job lead for a general contractor, this little compressor seems to do everything it is supposed to do! As long as you are setting your expectations up for success it should not disappoint. A lot of the existing reviews are spot on, trim guns, great! Roofing and framing guns, not at all, the only time Id even consider those is if I only had a few nails to shoot and a paslode gun was not handy, but at that point Id still hand drive nails first....... My 16g Hitachi brad gun is about all this compressor can handle, after about 10 shots I have to wait for the compressor to catch up. Which is ok when installing a board or two at a time, not so ok if you are expecting to nail a whole room full of precut trim off in one go. It will keep up handily with my 18g brad nailer, I put it though its paces a couple weeks ago installing 3 1/8 bead boards for wainscoting. I installed 12 straight boards, stopping every 4th board to chck plumb, and it was running almost continuously, but did not leave me short of air. I havnt used it with a 23g pinner yet, but Im sure it would be perfectly fine. Dont hook your air blower up and expect to get more then a few seconds worth of air, thats simply not what this unit is designed for. The power cord is a reasonable length, 6 or so, Ive coupled my compressor with a 25 flexeel hose and its so light/quiet/compact moving it from room to room as you go is not really much of an annoyance. I dont know if running a longer hose would create too much pressure drop. I did use this to air up a couple tires on my truck just to see how it went. Poor bugger had to cycle 3 times to add 10lbs of air to each tire. Not great really, but did the job in a pinch. Anyway, to sum things up, as long as you dont expect too much from this fine little machine, you wont be unhappy. It is a part time use machine, really only suited for trim guns!

This is the perfect compressor for tires and other smaller air-filled devices.

Im 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.

I like the concept and the stellar reviews, mine worked for 2 days and then developed a terrible noise at the end of the pump cycle in the motor fan area. I have requested a refund and will return it. I am very disappointed with this purchase. UPDATE: I could not decide on any other brand or model besides this compressor so I thought I would try to fix this one before boxing it up for the return. I knew where the noise came from so I removed the 3 screws that hold the motor end cap on where the fan is. With that off, I could see the plastic fan had slipped on the motor shaft and was scrapping against the cover. I pushed the fan in on the shaft to where I thought it should be. With a small wrench and screw driver I tightened the 2 screws. There is a plastic tab that wont let you over-tighten it. Put it back together and no noise. Seems to be working fine now.

Bought this, was super pleased with it. Works great for running a brad nailer or a stapler. Wont keep up with a framing gun, but I didnt expect it to. Runs quiet enough to have a normal volume conversation next to. But heres the kicker: I bought a similar Blue Hawk compressor from Lowes just recently that runs quieter, weighs less, ALSO keeps up pretty well with a framing gun, and came with a trim stapling gun, coil hose and all the necessary attachments... For significantly less. So this Senco is not a bad investment by any means of youre looking for something to run trim without the hassle of a big noisy compressor, but its still not the best deal Ive found.

This a great quiet small compressor only down side no moister trap which is needed and that is all she wrote. Best for the dollar not as quiet as some smaller compressor but in a box with a fan it is really just a great little compressor and the best I found. It puts out enough air to run 4 air brushes a nailer and small air tools all day and doesnt over heat. A compressor for a traveling artist great for studio work, dusting, inflating and framing. It also had not leaks and a true 125 psi and 2 cfm. Nice for $120 it is a steal. Easy to use and carry, fast to recover fully. I have to say it is a must have for any tool guy or airbrush artist. Great finish and no cheap rubber feel and is easy to drain tank. It also put out very little moist at the end of the day.It is the only compressor that is a great buy in the class of small compressors around a $120 that you can move around freely with a psi of 125 amazing. Update it is almost 5 years later and it works like a champ it is a little dirty, beat up, and little louder but works well!

I bought this originally for my office so we can blow out the inside of our pcs and workstations from time to time. Ive managed to find more use for it too. We recently started dismantling pallets and this has worked great with our pneumatic denailing gun. Although I didnt particularly count how many pulls I got before it would cycle the motor, it was enough that I could usually get through a plank and let it recycle while I get the next one. The weight makes it really easy to tote around.

I love this little compressor. I’ve been using it now for about 6 months. I own a interior trim company and the more we grow, the more it seems I do small stuff and punch work. This thing is amazing for this. It’s so convenient to not have to beak out my big compressor. I actually like using this with my Brad nailer, more then my Paslode gas guns. The compressor is light, and well built. It’s also super quite, I’m able to even talk on my phone while it’s running. I typically use it with my Brad nailer or pin nailer. I get about 20 pins on a tank with the pin nailer and 9 with my Brad nailer. The compressor is also a bargain at the price I bought it at on Amazon. I found it’s about $60 more in the big box store. I will being buying more of these soon for my other trucks. It’s worth every penny and if your looking for a quality compressor for the small stuff you can go wrong here.

First let me start off by saying that I am not being paid by anyone for this review. Im just an artist from the Nashville area and believe that, if you find a good deal you should share the info. I needed a compressor for airbrushing and considered ALL the options. Like many folks, noise/ volume was an issue. I liked the design of a smaller sized airbrush style compressor, combined with an air tank. I considered other manufacturers but, again, as with many folks, price was an issue as well. Anyway, after weighing all the options, and I do mean ALL. I decided to go with the Senco PC1010 and I couldnt be happier with my choice. This little unit runs and performs like a champ! The first time I turned it on in our apartment, I had it sitting on my workbench and my wife and I were able to carry on a conversation in normal speaking voice and we were both sitting less than two feet away from the compressor. Im telling you, if youre looking for a small, quiet compressor and dont want to spend big money, I personally do not think you could do ANY better than this little Senco. I did make one modification to mine. I replaced the regulator with one that has a built in moisture trap. Cheers!
