Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was tired of throwing money away on canned air so I bought this Campbell Hausfeld 2 Gallon Mini Twin-Stack Air Compressor. A lot of people thought I was nuts, but then let's do the math....a can of air nowadays costs roughly $6 and I go through at least one a week times that by 52 weeks and you have $312. So in about five months time this compressor will have pa! id for itself.
The included nail/stapler gun does an excellent job. Just keep in mind that the gun which comes with this compressor is a simple brad nailer fit for doing jobs such as hanging thin sheets of paneling. The step up from that would be a finish nailer, which you would use that for nailing molding. The step above that would be a framing nailer and those are usually 3 ¼-inch nails for framing. For the finish and framing nailer you would need a much larger compressor to operate efficiently.
This compressor is best suited for small jobs. For instance, it excelled at inflating my dad's car tires and my brother's bike tires (set at 60 PSI) and the compressor only kicked on once or twice. However, when using it to blow air (set at 85 PSI) it only lasts about thirty seconds or so, then I have to wait about five minutes for it to fill back up. This does not bother me for like I said one can of air is about $6 and so waiting for five minutes for the t! ank to refill with free air is no biggie.
Something! else to keep in mind if you're thinking of purchasing this compressor is to make sure you buy some extra fittings (and a roll of Teflon tape for wrapping the threads). The compressor comes with a few extras, but they're nothing to get excited about. For instance with the included inflation nozzle I added a 1/4" male coupler connector and a quick connector on one end of the hose so I can snap it on and off easily.
You will also need to buy a blow gun (Campbell Hausfeld MP520010AV 25-Piece Accessory Kit with Case) and it's a good idea to have a moisture filter to prevent water in the line (Campbell Hausfeld G6261 Water Filter). I bought a CH filter and installed it on the air outlet on the tank (using a 3/8" x 3/8" male coupling) and then hooked my hose to the other end. You can use quick couplings to make life easier for yourself, that way you can interchange hoses and tools in a snap.
All in all I am very happy with this purchase. The compressor runs smoothly. It's good looking. And it's not very loud. What more can you ask?
