Makita's 2.5HP Air Compressor is equipped with Makita's Big Bore engineered pump cylinder and piston for higher output for two nailers, with less noise and improved job site performance. The MAC2400 delivers industrial power and results with improved durability under tough job site conditions.2.5 HP with Big Bore Engineered Pump The MAC2400 is powered by a 2.5 HP motor. The Makita Big Bore engineered pump with cast iron cylinder has greater bore and stroke for increased compression, faster recovery and less noise. The cast iron construction is engineered for increased durability even under tough job-site conditions. The MAC2400 has an oil-lubricated pump and is equipped with a large automotive style filter for increased air intake and greater efficiency. The Big Bore oil-lubricated pump is also more efficient: the MAC2400 runs cooler and at half the RPM of most competitive units, resulting in greater motor and pump life and lower noise.

  • Great Compressor after 4 Years
Style: MAC2400 Pattern Name: Air Compressor
I am a construction contractor in California with over 34 years experience ... and I am hard on my equipment. I purchased this Makita MAC2400 back in January 2012 for $299 from Amazon and use it almost daily, running wide crown lathing/roofing staplers, framing nailing guns, finish nailing guns. air blowers and most often pneumatic air chiselers/air hammers. This compressor is now working on its 5th year of labor without any issues, with the only maintenance being - oil changes ( which I have only done 1 time so far) and making sure that I drain the air tanks at the of every day. It has enough air power to run 2 nail guns simultaneously and run a pneumatic air chisel ( which draws 4CFMs) all day. While it does recycle almost continuously , when running a 4 CFM air chisel, this Makita MAC2400 has never quit on me. Some might complain about the weight (80lbs) being a con, it is a heavy compressor for its class (twin hotdog) but I believe that the oil lubricated, cast iron pump and steel construction is a pro ....due to the return of its on the job toughness. I also like the fact the this compressor is on the quiet side of noise output, couple that with its low RPM, makes this compressor easy to leave in the same room that you are working in, The low amp draw is also an added benifit and I rarely trip any electrical circuit breakers, albeit, I try to keep the extension cords lengths to a minimum and try to use the highest gage (14g or above ) when ever possible. If, I need more length I use more air hose. I used to kill Oil-Free compressors in the years past, MAC2000, Dewalt, Rigid 45150 .... while they were lighter in weight and powerful, they were very loud and with the teflon lined cylinder pump ....wore out within 2 years of purchase. If you dont mind the weight of this compressor it will do the job for you in the years to come. ... show more

  • Excellent Air Compressor. Great Quality.
Style: MAC2400 Pattern Name: Air Compressor
This is definitely one of my most favorite items I've purchased from Amazon. Excellent air compressor. Well constructed, good workmanship, quality parts, smooth running, and it even looks great, with a quality paint job. Plus it's much quieter than the "Task Force" 5 gallon compressor that I replaced. And the performance of this Makita puts that 5 gallon "Task Force" compressor to shame. It easily runs every air tool I've hooked up to it...nail gun, staple gun, paint sprayer, etc. Also, in the questions section for this compressor, there have been some nebulous answers as to whether this compressor will run an impact wrench without difficulty. I can assure you that this compressor can run a 1/2 inch impact wrench with no difficulty. This compressor is fairly heavy. As you can see from the pictures I've included, I mounted it to a cart that I purchased from Lowes, so now I never have to lift it again. The cart came with 4 inch polyurethane wheels, but the wheels had no brakes. So I replaced them with a set of 5 inch polyurethane wheels with brakes. (I put the 4 inch wheels on my Rubbermaid mop bucket...much better than the wheels it came with). The compressor would have probably stayed firmly planted on the cart due to the compressor's weight, but I preferred to bolt it to the cart. The compressor has four rubber feet bolted to the frame, so bolting the compressor to a cart is simply a matter of drilling four holes in the proper place on the cart, remove the bolts from the rubber feet on the bottom of the compressor, then set the compressor on the cart, then run bolts through the holes in the cart, through the rubber feet, and then tighten the bolts into the frame of the compressor. The rubber feet that come with the compressor would probably be very good at cushioning any vibration from the compressor to the cart, but as long as I had them off I decided to replace them with a set of very high quality sorbothane anti-vibration pads ($30 for a set of four 2" x 2" pads). I drilled a hole in the middle of each pad then bolted the compressor and pads onto my cart. I put the rubber feet that came with the compressor on the bottom of the large case of my home-made computer. Perfect fit and better than the feet that came on the computer case. As you can see, I also bolted a retractable air hose reel onto my cart with 50 feet of good quality rubber air hose. I also put an air/water separator onto the air hose that does a very nice job of removing water from the line before the air enters whatever air tool I have attached. A push-valve on the separator allows you to drain any drops of water that it might collect with just the push of a finger. One more thing. The compressor comes with one small bottle of compressor oil. The compressor will take the entire contents of that bottle to get the oil level to the full mark on the oil sight glass. I filled the compressor with the included oil and then ran the compressor for the required break-in period specified in the owner's manual. After that break-in period, I immediately changed the oil. I used high quality Royal Purple synthetic compressor oil when I changed the oil, and the compressor runs even quieter with the Royal Purple synthetic then it did with the oil that was included with the compressor. I hope this review is helpful for anyone looking for a very decent air compressor, as well as giving some helpful suggestions for mounting the compressor to a cart. ... show more

  • Quality Built Compressor
Style: MAC2400 Pattern Name: Air Compressor
This compressor oozes quality. Was looking for a “portable” air compressor to keep in the garage for DIY projects, blowing, and airing up the occasional tire and other miscellaneous tasks. Ordered the IR dual tank at first. When I received it, both gauges were bent. Called CS, they shipped two wrong gauges. Called CS again, was told I wasn’t even in their system. Returned that one, didn’t learn, ordered another. That one had a cracked manifold that would spit oil. So I returned it as well. Ordered this compressor. Double boxed for shipping. Unpacked it, installed air filter, filled it with the included oil, plugged it in, opened the drain valve, turned it on, let it run for thirty minutes under a no load condition, turned it off, checked the oil level, closed the drain valve and let it build up pressure to automatic shutoff. Let it set to make sure it wasn’t leaking any air, which it wasn’t and didn’t. Plugged in the air hose, shot brad nails and staples on a playhouse project, aired up every tire. Blew out the garage. Blew off the mowers. Ran a small grinder. No tripped breakers. No leaks. No oil spots. Turns on when it is supposed to. Turns off when it is supposed to. Holds air like it is supposed to. Is it heavy? Yes it is heavy. Is it loud? No. It is more quiet than the little compressor it replaced. It is quiet enough that I can run it in the garage with the doors closed. Impressive build quality and functionality. This is my first Mikita tool, I can tell already, it won’t be my last. ... show more

  • This is way higher quality than I expected. It’s amazing.
Style: MAC2400 Pattern Name: Air Compressor
This thing is absolutely outstanding. Well packaged, and no part of it looks or feels cheaply made. It’s super quiet, and has thick rubber feet. I put it on a bench top to do the break-in (they recommend 20 min; I let it run an hour), and it didn’t walk or move on the table at all- so, basically NO major vibrations. I’m using this in my wood-shop to basically blow off things, but I will occasionally use an air impact gun, but not much else. If you needed a little extra capacity, it would be easy to plumb in another tank very cheaply. eventually, I may get a small nail gun, which is what this thing was basically designed for. Anyway, I am super happy with it; could not be more impressed. ... show more
