Great oilless compressor

Not as quiet as you would think, it is quite compared to the pancakes you usually see on jobsites. Really does have decent output, with out worries of overheating/overuse. I don't think you could over tax it with any kind of nailer that you could think of. Two framers are easily accommodated, three fast roofers or 2 fast sheathers may be pushing it.

Despite what the description says, spray painting and sandblasting are not something you should be thinking about with a small portable electric compressor. You'll be much happier with triple this compressors output.This compressor will run tools labeled for 3 CFM or less.

Oil less means that you won't be worrying your painters about fish eyes.(assuming your using an oilless nailer also)

Thomas is the original patent holder for the oilless technology used in compressors today.

Pros
100% duty cycle, fast recovery time,oilless
Cons
Weight, Noise.
