Size
This product measures 30 x 27 x 13 inches all round (L X W X H). It weighs in at approximately 55 pounds. To improve on the compressors reliability, a 10-gallon capacity tank in incorporated.
Performance
This portable compressor has the capacity to deliver 7.2 CFM @ 40 PSI, 3.5 CFM @ 90 PSI of air, with a maximum air pressure of 125 PSI.
The long lasting cast iron cylinder is capable of holding up to 10 gallons of air. This is an advantage in case you want to store some air for use at a different time.
There are two wheels installed so you can easily move it around your garage or workplace. Carrying it upstairs in the only challenge as it is considerably heavy.
Pump Type
This compressor (model 65151 ) uses an oil lubricated pumping system. This ensures an overall long life of the pump. The compressor is shipped with a full bottle of the oil needed to fill its reservoir tank.
Noise Level
Just like any cast iron compressor, the Gallon Pneumatic Compressor operates very quietly. The heavy parts move slowly, emitting little amounts of sound.
Who It’s For
This compressor is suitable for use with stucco guns, nail guns and impact guns and wrenches. It covers all grinding purposes, sprinkler winterization and flat tyre inflation.
If your garage has a rugged floor, the solid moving wheels come in handy when transferring it to a new position. It can be plugged into the garage terminals without blowing the fuses and circuits.
Pros
- Has dual lines so you can perform two tasks simultaneously
- It builds pressure very quickly
- The pump is oil lubricated for durability
Cons
- The oil gets cold when left outside
- The oil lubricated pump necessitates constant maintenance
- The oil tends to leak sometimes
Final Verdict
Above all, this is a good compressor with a sizeable tank for air storage. This ensures a continuous air flow when using air powered tools and equipment.
It is much more efficient than the California Air Tools that is in its 10 gallon tank capacity. Although it is much lighter, the 10 Gallon Pneumatic has superior horsepower but with an inferior flow rate @90 PSI. Instead of buying the California Air Tools, it makes more sense to buy the 10 Gallon Pneumatic for your DIY projects.
