Handy portable compressor,
November 2, 2009
By Useddude

"This is a very good compressor for operating nail guns, staple guns, brad nailers and even framing nailers. I've used it for all of these jobs. Lightweight, durable and holds pressured in transit."

Great value,
November 2, 2009
By Racer401
from CT
"The little compressor has been outstanding.
We use it to support a group of go kart racers. We often run splitters off of the main hose and have 4 hoses strung out in the pit area, With all of the tire changing and resulting beading of the new tires, the Porter Cable never misses a beat and we are never short of air."

"It came with all the needed accessories. Once it met the max PSI, it can be carried to air up a tire or other inflatable objects. Has a fast recycle time and is compact enough to store easily."

Love this pancake,
July 24, 2009
By 1kjs
from Lynchburg, VA
"I have owned one of these compressors for several years now. Never had the first sign of trouble. I've re-trimmed nearly my entire house, filled tires, even blown out my 2-car garage on occasions. It's a little work horse for the smaller jobs. I've never used it on an air wrench or large nailer. But for general home use, it's great."

Look no further,
March 25, 2009
By beedazzle
from LA, CA
"This small compressor is the only one you should be considering if you are in need of a light duty one. It's compact, light, cheap, and far more reliable than the other off-brands I've owned, in spite of being nearly the same price!
It can handle almost any job you need a compressor for around the house: smaller nail guns (it will drive a framing nail; just takes awhile to recharge), auto tools, etc.
Just buy it."

Works great but loud,
November 18, 2008
By Stewcanoe
from Wheelersburg, OH
"This compressor works great.
Well built and light weight. It is handy to toss in the truck and head to the job. It will supply two or three air nailers at once, even when roofing. It cycles relatively quickly.
It does have a down side. It is loud. Real loud. Loud enought that you will want a long hose so you can set it outside while you are working inside. (For inside use I recommended the Makita Hotdog)
Still this compressor will handle about any air tool you plug into. Great all around compressor."

Excellent Homeowner Accessory,
November 18, 2008
By TCW2
from Randolph, NJ
"Since buying this compressor 6 months ago, I've been kicking myself for not buying it sooner. I bought the compressor as part of a kit, including finish and brad nailers, and a narrow crown stapler. The unit has performed flawlessly. The noise level is moderate, and once the compressor has reached operating pressure at 150psi, it runs only intermittently for short periods. I tend to operate the guns and stapler at around 90-100psi, so it takes some time before the tank needs to refresh. When purchased as part of the kit, the compressor is an exceptional value, but even at Northern Tool's stand-alone price its a good deal."

GREAT PRODUCT,
November 17, 2008
By LEWALL
from EMMAUS, PA
"I have used this on a roof, and the three leg system was steady on the peak of the roof. I have also kept the compressor on the ground while working on a single story roof and ran 200' of hose with no loss of pressure to my gun. I have run everything from roofing nailers to staple guns for carpet, and this compressor has never lost power. I have never waited for the compressor to catch up. We have an off brand at work that is not as reliable as my Porter Cable. I have used it to pump up my tires on my van, and clean the saw dust off myself before going home. Buy this,and you won't be disappointed."

Reliable, easy to use, very portable,
August 18, 2008
By randomtask
from Dalton, GA
"This compressor has been great for odd jobs and weekend projects. I have used it with finish/brad nailers quite a bit and have been extremely pleased. The CFM required for a framing nailer is a little higher, so you have to remember that it will cycle much more often. Not a problem for the occasional project, but I wouldn't use it with a huge nailer all day every day. Size and weight are perfect to use in the house, carry up stairs, etc."

Porter-Cable air compressor,
August 18, 2008
By mspainter
from Potts Camp, MS
"I needed a small air compressor to use with my air-brush painter, but I didn't want to have to use ear plugs. This pancake air compresser delivers the air I need without the high noise. It's very compact and easy to carry with me. It's also great for filling tires, balls and just about anything else around the place.
It's a great little compressor."

Finally got it,
August 18, 2008
By fixitpop
from West Grove, PA
"Over the years I have always had an air compressor. Can't understand how anyone can get along without one. I finally got this small pancake compressor and am thrilled with the performance and especially the fact that I can easily pick it up and carry it to the job. It operates all my air tools as well as any compressor I have had."

Terrible reliability issues, not recommended,
August 18, 2008
By CarBuilder
from SFV, CA
"We bought one of those for work to power up mainly nailers.
Worked okay for a few months and then had a small crack created in the pump which effectively killed it.
Having had a good experience with a different (oil lubed) PC compressor we thought this was just a one in a million defective piece and bought another one to replace it.

What a mistake!
Not even four months later we had the same crack occuring in the brand new compressor!

We will surely NOT buy another one of those PC pancakes.
Save your money, buy the small Ingersoll rand twin hot dog - I've had one of those running GREAT for some time now while seeing much rougher life than the PC pancake."

Porter-Cable Workhorse Compressor,
August 18, 2008
By HandyMiltie
from Monroe, OR
"This compressor is an absolute workhorse. It powers all of my nailers, from my 18ga brad nailer to my slant load framing nailer.
I have even used it to power my HVLP sprayer and my spray texture gun.
Granted the later make it work hard, but it seems to be up to the task.
I have owned this compressor for three years now and have had absolutely no trouble with it, and I work it hard.
All around this is a great piece of equipment."

Pancake Compressor,

By Energizer
from Alamogordo, New Mexico
"I bought one to have around the garage, mostly to air up tires. It makes a lot of noise but hasn't stopped yet. I have thought about using it in an upcoming project where I need to use a nailer. I think it will work nicely, since this is a one time project and not my profession."
