3.0 SCFM at 90 PSI, a 2.5 gallon tank, and a maximum pressure of 200 PSI make it possible to fire a lot of nails and get them back quickly.
The electric air compressor has a long-lasting oil-free pump that doesn’t need to be serviced for a long time.
DEWALT’s portable air compressor has a low noise level of 71.5 dBA (*Tested per ISO3744).
The low 12 amp motor makes it easy to start and lessens the chances of the breaker tripping.
Lightweight (36 lbs), thin (12.5 inches), and small make it easy to carry and store.

This 2.5 Gallon, 200 Max PSI, compressor is great for a wide range of pneumatic and air tool applications. It’s also very quiet. The oil-free pump pumps 3.0 SCFM at 90 PSI for a long tool runtime and quick tool recovery. The compressor can be used in either a vertical or horizontal position to save space in a garage or on a job site.
***Update**.
The valve plate I replaced the old one with has now broken down for the second time. Because it hasn’t been used for more than three hours, I’ve been having to fix it twice now.
If you like paying a lot for a tool and having to pay for repairs out of your own pocket, this is the compressor for you. It’s not for us. There isn’t anyone at Dewalt who is behind this lemon design.
Trust the bad reviews, but don’t believe the one-star ones.
In the beginning, when I bought the compressor, I used it to do some interior trim work for two windows. The compressor only ran for about an hour total when I first bought the compressor, though. Running the tool was a piece of cake. The volume was exactly what I was looking for, too. Some tires, a few balls, and dust have been blown away by the compressor over the past two years. Honestly, I think I’ve used it for about two hours total. Yesterday, when I tried to use it to lay hardwood floor, I found that it couldn’t go above 55psi. I checked the regulator and cycled from the lowest to the highest regulated air to make sure nothing was stuck. There was still no luck.
When the compressor didn’t work and I was out of warranty, I started dismantling it to figure out what was wrong. It was thought that the problem was with the manifold or valve assembly because compressors are simple. There were two small metal tabs that fell out as I was removing the manifold bolts from the car. There are some photos to look at as well. Three on this side of the valve plate broke. The area is very hot and will cause metal fatigue. Using poor materials will lead to early failure. We did just that here.
“Harbor..” is a store that sells tools for a lot less than this Dewalt. I would totally expect them to work as well as this Dewalt. Because I bought this compressor, I didn’t expect to get such a bad return on my money. I thought it would last for a long time.
As we said earlier, save your money and look at some of the other products from well-known competitors instead. This compressor will not work for you and will make you angry.
