Frequently asked questions

The California Air Tools 8010 Air Compressor is engineered to operate at a noise level of only 60 decibels. This low sound emission is achieved through its oil-free dual piston pump system and motor design, making it one of the quietest compressors in the industry, hence termed 'ultra quiet'.

The 8-gallon steel tank provides a good balance of portability and air capacity, suitable for medium-duty tasks such as airbrushing, inflating, and powering air tools. However, for continuous heavy-duty use, a larger tank might be necessary to reduce run times and allow for longer tool operation.

While the California Air Tools 8010 is indeed capable of running various air tools, its 1.0 HP motor may not be sufficient for continuous, heavy-duty professional automotive work. It's suitable for occasional to moderate use with air tools such as impact wrenches and ratchets in a non-commercial setting.

The oil-free pump design of the California Air Tools 8010 compressor offers several benefits: it requires less maintenance, reduces the risk of oil spills and contamination, and generally provides a longer life expectancy for the pump compared to oil-lubricated models. This makes it a convenient and cost-effective choice.

Should I Buy It?

  • Quietest compressor I have ever seen. Great value for price.
Style: Steel Tank Size: 8 Gallon Color: Silver
Initial impression: I have never heard a compressor this quiet. I have a small pancake compressor and it is a lot louder. You can stand next to this tool while running and have a normal volume conversation. Fast recycle time. Minimal assembly: put on the wheels and screw in the muffler. Compact and easy to move on the wheels. Looks solid and well made, time and use will tell. Air capacity is sufficient for most jobs, heavy needle gun use or other high draw air tools might have to run in cycles. ... show more

  • More than what I was expecting
Style: Steel Tank Size: 8 Gallon Color: Silver
This really is a nice air compressor. It is quiet, quick on filling up, and lightweight to roll around. What more is there to say? It does its job and does it well.

  • Love this thing so far.
Style: Steel Tank Size: 8 Gallon Color: Silver
Only thing that bothered me so far is there was a clipped zip tie left inside the engine, like it was zip tied around the coils or something and someone forgot to remove it as they were building the motor. At any rate, I noticed it before I even put it together but the thought of it coming loose and binding the engine kinda bummed me out. Besides that, it's beyond quiet, fills quickly, empties easily, zero leaks (still new only used a couple times so far) and it has way more air pressure than I was even hoping for. Will use often to blow dust out of everything and air up tires obviously. Highly recommend it. Oh it's actually a lot lighter than I thought one that size would be too. Can easily pick it up if you can't pull or push it for whatever reason. ... show more

  • Extremely quiet
Style: Steel Tank Size: 8 Gallon Color: Silver
Very good for the hobbiest or DIY projects. Extremely quiet, efficient, and compact. Of your running a die grinder all day, I'd suggest a bigger tank...otherwise this is perfect for small projects. Thank you

  • Quite but has some limitations
Style: Steel Tank Size: 8 Gallon Color: Silver
I purchased this particular compressor because of all the so quite reviews. I have to admit this is the most quite air compressor I have ever been around. I do a lot of remodel projects in our home, where we all live, so noise was a big factor in deciding on purchasing this one. It is quieter than our countertop icemaker for sure. The unit handles my framing nailer without any problems. So, many quick hit tools this machine will work well. But there are a few drawbacks that one should be aware of before purchasing. 1. For a small compressor it is super difficult to move around. The handle is low so if you try to lift with the handle and stand up you will be dragging it on the back because the wheels will be off the floor. So if you want to roll it you have to be hunched way over. I usually end up picking the thing up and carrying it. But this is difficult if it is plugged in and the air hose is extended. 2. ( See update below) I have not tried to apply wall texture with it, but I have attached the blow nozzle to dust off and the compressor does not have much capacity before it kicks on to recharge. The recharge time is a little slow as well. So, I am not sure this will work with a texture gun. Or I should say it may be real slow going spraying texture with this unit. 3. The gauges are in not easy to read places. It sits low to the ground so both gauges should face up. You about have to get on your knees to see the one gauge. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase and I would purchase again. It is well built, quite and will work for most small applications for home improvement projects. If you do a lot that requires higher volume of air output I would look for a higher capacity unit with quicker recharging. UPDATE JUNE 2025 I finally was able to test the compressor out using it for an orange peel texture and here is what I learned. First, for orange peel texture you need about 90 psi in the hose. I set the hose pressure to 90 and turned on the air valve of the texture gun and the line pressure dropped 20 psi. I had to up the line pressure to 110 psi so I could maintain 90 psi when operating the tool. The most amazing thing is the air compressor was able to accomplish texturing my bathroom. It was slow. I did about a minute of spraying (4 to 5 passes on a wall), before turning the texture gun off and letting the compressor recharge (about 2 minutes to charge up). So, in about 20 minutes my bathroom was textured with a beautiful and even orange peel texture. I was impressed. I have been using this air compressor for quite awhile now and I have had zero issues. It does everything I need it to do for my DIY home improvement projects. A great product. ... show more

  • WOW, that is quiet! And it fills fast
Style: Steel Tank Size: 8 Gallon Color: Silver
Have been searching for a larger air compressor for light home use. Air up my tires on my vehicles, bicycle and other inflatables (air mattress, pool toys, bicycle). I have an emergency 12V one for my car. Works fine, but slow. I have a 120V slime compatible compressor, works fine but also slow. Also, no reserve tank. Against my better judgement, bought a hot dog style one from the local big box store. Takes almost 5 minutes to fill up the 1 gal tank, and depletes quickly. Can't even fill up a tire from flat without recharging. Also wanted the ability to use a press on air chuck instead of a clamp on chuck. My secondary use is with a blow gun attachment for cleaning out electronics. I've seen the YouTube videos and the comparisons of the noise levels. And I thought, "This would be perfect"! Well, it is! Charges up my 8 gal tank fast, to 120psi. Standard interchangeable connections let me swap between my air tools. The ability to roll it around makes it nice and mobile. I would highly recommend this line of air compressors. Your ears will thank you. Only negative, and not much of one is the handle for rolling it around. It is straight up and down, instead of at an angle. This causes stubbed toes unless you are careful. It's also a very short handle. I'll probably fabricate a handle extension for it. Although once I place it near an outlet in the garage, I'll just sling a hose instead of rolling it around. It's well worth the modest extra price for the technology that makes it quiet. And as in other reviews, it will last much longer due to the lower RPM's using dual pistons. Check one out. I love it! ... show more
