Really Portable Air
This is not a tool that I own personally, but I've used it regularly as a volunteer.
I think that most compressor manufacturers are optimistic in their CFM rating. Realistically this compressor can power a 3 CFM rated tool. You would think 4 HP would out power an electric twin stack, not with this compressor. That said, If you need to cut down on what your carrying (i.e. not the generator) for some field nailing operations, this compressor will keep a couple of workers happy. It does work excellently in the back of a UATV.
The pump does not really tax the motor so the Honda motor should last a good long time. This thing is heavy, you will not enjoy carrying it. It is my opinion, that unless you need something in this form factor,you would probably be better served with a wheelbarrow style compressor.
