  • I received the compressor quickly and in perfect shape. After the required 15 minute break-in, it charged the 30 gal tank in around 5 minutes and worked quite well on my first project, a tubeless lawn tractor tire which had rolled off the rim. The unit does not have a preset pressure set. The regulator doesn’t bring the tire up to set pressure in a rapid fashion, so I recommend getting a good hose and attachment set that comes with a good gauge, and setting the regulator somewhat above the tire’s required pressure. The noise level is moderate, and when it is running in my work shed, it is barely noticeable.

  • I actually got a reconditioned version, but they don’t seem to be offering that one right now, so I’ll review this one. For the price, this air compressor is great. In the manual, it advises that it is not designed for framing nailers. I don’t use it for that, so I don’t find that to be a problem. I appreciate the 150 psi, 6 gallon tank because I can get quite a few shots off with a finish nailer before it recharges. The air regulator works well because I can keep the finish nailers running at a steady 100 psi. What’s really nice about this air compressor is that you can hook up two nailers at once (e.g., a 15 or 16 gauge nailer for hanging doors and an 18 gauge nailer for the trim) without having to switch the nailers around constantly. It’s surprisingly light and easy to carry, too.

    Get some good ear muffs or ear plugs when you use this compressor, especially if you’re in a basement, because it is LOUD. I like keeping my hearing anyway, so I always wear ear muffs for any power tools. I don’t find this much of a deterrent since it works exceptionally well for the applications for which it was designed. The 13 piece kit isn’t worth the extra money, so get this one and then buy some better accessories and a better hose.

  • I am a picture framer and needed a new compressor to operate my v-nailer for picture frame assembly. When my $600 Italian-made air compressor died, I was in a quandry as to what to do.. I needed a compressor that could operate from a wall outlet (15amp) I needed a tank of at least 6 gallons and I needed a compressor that would put out at least 110lb of pressure… I thought that my only recourse was another $600 Italian-made compressor… I looked on Amazon and there was my answer! This machine is a dream to use and is not as loud as some reviewers suggest.. Its maintenance free, all you have to do is drain the tank after use. It has a seperate control for the pressure to the tool you are using it for, and if you wanted, you could have another line going to another tool… For the price this item is a GREAT VALUE! I like it much better than my crazy $600 compressor that simply froze up after only medium use..

  • Amy:

    I own an older 125 PSI version of this compressor and it has given me good and dependable service for many years now. When I ungrade my compressor I intend to purchase another. However, I am a bit confused by the two versions of this compressor. The description for the C2002 indicates that the item includes the compressor only. Not even an air hose. Meanwhile, the C2002-WK, which is CHEAPER and also available on Amazon, is the very same unit but with an included 13-piece accessory package. My question is: Why would anyone pay more for less? I also see that both the C2002 and the C2002-WK are sold directly by Porter-Cable so it’s not a matter of competing vendors. Am I missing something?
