  • Small, lightweight & pretty quite
Style: Hot Dog
I was looking for a quite little compressor for my work area in the basement. I load my own ammunition, clean pistols & rifles as well as other hobby type projects. Wanted something to blow off excess cleaning fluid and dry parts after cleaning. Also needed something to keep the reloading area free of unwanted materials that can build up. I've used Senco staple and nail guns for over forty years and have found them to be well made and durable. Figured I'd give this small compressor a try. Glad I did. It's fairly quite for the confined area I'm using it in and doesn't take up much space. It's been used now for a couple of months with absolutely no issues, hiccups or problems. Just plug it in and use it. I did purchase the... Legacy A73457D Color Connex Type D 7 Piece 1/4 in. Red Coupler and Plug Kit, Plastair HoseKoil PU425-1-3-AMZ 1/4-Inch x 25-Foot Polyurethane Lead Safe Ultra-Light Recoil Air Hose, Blue and the Campbell Hausfeld MP5143 Pistol Grip Blowgun ... to use with the compressor and they all work fine. The Legacy Color Connex connector kit had exactly what I needed by way of male/female connectors for the whole set up. Make sure you have a role of teflon tape to wrap the threads before assembly and you're good to go. No air leaks what-so-ever. The compressor comes with a regulator that allows you to adjust the pressure going to the hose which is a plus. The air gun also allows further air-flow adjustment with the trigger. All four items are first class in my opinion. I'm a cabinetmaker by trade, so I've used lots of compressors and accessories over the years. For what I wanted out of this system it is delivering 100% and well worth the money. I can recommend this to anyone looking for a small, quite hobby compressor to use indoors or out. I plan to build a sound-reduction cover for the unit and further reduce the noise it makes simply because it's used indoors and I usually have music playing while working in the basement, but it's fine as is since the amount of air I'm using isn't a constant drain and the machine only runs for a few minutes at a time. If you need a compressor that will have to run hard to keep up with your usage you should look to a larger system. Keep in mind this has only a one gallon storage tank. Constant, high-volume usage will keep the motor running full time and may not keep up with your demand. ... show more

  • A great, quiet compressor for small tasks.
Style: Hot Dog
We purchased this compressor because we use quite a few cans of compressed air around our place and we decided to look for a more economical alternative. A small, portable compressor seemed to be just the thing for our small tasks around the apartment. First we bought a Porter Cable 2HP, 6 gallon pancake compressor from Amazon.com. It was a little on the heavy side - but still portable. The first time we turned it on in our apartment, the sound was literally deafening! Even running the Porter Cable compressor by itself in a completely closed room was unbelievably loud - and we were standing outside of that room (with the door closed). The noise that compressor made was completely unacceptable to us (and our neighbors, I'm sure), and clearly was designed for heavier duty than what we needed. I read several reviews on the Senco 1/2 HP, 1 gallon compressor and decided to give it a try - even though the tank capacity seemed a bit small and 1/2 HP wasn't very powerful. I braced myself the first time I turned the compressor on for the loud noise that was sure to follow. What a surprise it was to hear this compressor run whisper quiet! Even with hardwood floors where sound is usually amplified, the compressor was so quiet that it was possible to carry on a normal conversation while it was running. In contrast, we tried shouting over the noise the Porter Cable compressor and still couldn't hear each other. On top of that, this compressor weighs a mere 20 pounds and has a very convenient carrying handle solidly attached to the compressor. Five stars for the design and the ultra-low noise factor. Being that the air tank is quite small, the compressor kicks on frequently during air use. For our basic purpose of canned air replacement, this compressor works beautifully. I've read that it can be used with some pneumatic tools (like brad nailers) but I don't think this would be the right compressor for more than light usage because the tank empties rapidly and the compressor motor has to kick on frequently to refill the small tank. Still, the compressor is remarkably quiet. For small compressed air tasks especially where portability is desired. The lightweight of this unit makes it a joy to carry anywhere you might want compressed air. If you have big projects that require a constant supply of air - like running brad nailers and the like - I wouldn't recommend this compressor. If you want a compressor that is quiet enough to use inside your house, light enough to carry up a ladder, has air pressure adjustment up to 125+ psi - all at a price that is easy on the wallet, then I don't see how you can best this compressor. Five Stars all the way for this very capable and versatile compressor! ... show more

  • Great if you accept it for what it is
Style: Hot Dog
You have to understand what you are getting. This is a tiny little fellow, and the people who built it put low weight and portability first and foremost. Everything else is secondary. You can grab this thing and haul it around like a carry on bag at the airport. You can zip up and down stairs. It's lovely. This thing weighs 20 pounds. That's absurd. Pick up this thing and then pick up a mid-size compressor that weighs about 50-60 pounds and you totally see the difference. My Makita MAC700 weights 60 pounds. My MAC2400 weighs 77 pounds. Those are VERY heavy compressors. Getting a 77 pound compressor off a chest-high shelf and then carrying it through three rooms and up a couple flights of stairs---let's be honest, it's 50-50 that you'll be wrenching your back and in pain for a week. So, it's light and small. It's really easy to get on and off a shelf. At the same time, that means that it's going to fill kind of slow and you're not going to get that many nail gun shots before it kicks on again. If you're a typical homeowner moving a bit pokey as you do a project, that's nothing at all. The compressor will totally keep up with you. Shoot some nails, take a drink of water or move a board or two around, and you're ready to go again. If you're a pro a moving fast, though, you'll find this thing lagging. Mine had a problem right out of the box. I would not work right, and a guy in an online forum said to screw off the check valve, spray it with WD40, shake it, and reassemble. I did and it has worked great since then. Would I use this to inflate tires? I don't think so. It's just not designed to put out lots and lots of air. Maybe topping up tires here and there if you're willing to do it a bit slowly. This Senco is designed to fire 8 or 12 nails, cycle for about 20-30 seconds, and then go again. I will say to its advantage that it's on the quieter side when it's running. It's not quiet, but it's not that ear-splitting roar you get with some of those pancake compressors. It also holds air pretty darn well. If I leave it plugged in all night, I'll only hear it come on every 45 minutes to an hour or so. If you accept this for what it is, it is a great tool. ... show more

  • Preliminary testing is 5 stars
Style: Hot Dog
I am a kitchen & bath remodeler, and have yet to use this on the job. I have, however, done some preliminary testing in my garage tonight. The results are stated below. My first impressions are all positive: Better quality than expected at this price (great value). Smaller (better) than expected. Quieter than expected. Now for the tests. Quantity of nails shot with various nail guns before motor kicked on, using this Senco PC1010: 23 gauge = 20 18 gauge = 10 15 gauge = 5 Framing nailer = 3 To give a comparison to a larger pancake style 4 gallon 1.5 HP Campbell Hausfeld that I have been using for 15 years, which weighs more than twice as much (52 lbs.): 18 gauge = 40 15 gauge = 18 Framing = 13 Obviously, these numbers coincide with the number of gallons of compressed air, as the 4 gallon unit delivered approx. 4 times more nails than the 1 gallon unit. No surprise here. Recovery time (time from when motor first kicks back on while nailing, to when tank is fully charged and motor stops, with no nailing during this time) = 32 seconds. By comparison, my Campbell Hausfeld takes 30 seconds. It has a much larger motor, but it is having to compress 4 gallons of air instead of 1 gallon. Again, no surprise here. Noise test: I did two tests on both, this Senco, and my old Campbell Hausfeld. First I put my decibel meter right up next to the motor, and then I moved the meter to 3 feet from the motor. Here are the results: Noise level, in decibels, at motor: Senco = 83, Campbell Hausfeld = 99 Same test from 3 feet away from motor: Senco = 69, Campbell Hausfeld = 80 From what I understand, 10 decibels = double the sound. Therefore, the Campbell Hausfeld is more than twice as loud. I believe this is accurate based on standing next to each unit. My primary reason for wanting to change compressors was to reduce weight. I feel that having fewer gallons of compressed air immediately available is a small price to pay for having a compressor that is not only less than HALF the weight and size, but MUCH quieter as well. Especially given that my primary use will be with 23 & 18 gauge nailers. This is NOT the kind of compressor you want for doing a lot of 15 gauge nailing, and certainly not for framing. It will drive them just as powerfully as any large compressor - after all, 125 psi is 125 psi - but it simply will not be able to keep up with mass nailing using this size gun. Need to install a couple pre-hung doors? No problem. Need to build a partition or two for that kitchen remodel? No problem. But don't even think about trying to use this, and expect it to keep up, if framing a house all day long, or roofing a house. It was not designed for that. Buy the tool that meets the need and rate it accordingly. Note: I realize that my comparisons with the Campbell Hausfeld are not an apples-to-apples comparison. I just wanted to offer this info for anyone who may be wanting to change from a pancake style to this little Senco. I figured that since the pancake models were so popular that this comparison might be of help. I will try to report back after I have used it on several jobs. Time will tell if this little gem can maintain it's 5 star rating. This was my first Senco tool ever purchased. I have a feeling it won't be my last. Very impressive, so far. 6 MONTH UPDATE: After using this product for the last 6 months, for my kitchen remodeling business, I maintain my rating of it. It has been a GREAT little compressor for all my nailing needs. It handles ALL of my trim needs, as well as the occasional building of a wall or two with a framing nailer. I love this compressor much more than I did the larger pancake compressor that I had used all those years. 16 MONTH UPDATE: After nearly a year and half of regular use on the job, I remain fully impressed with this compressor. The ONLY "problem" that I have encountered was that the foam pad around the handle has started to tear off. NO big deal since the unit is so light anyway. Nice to have the foam, but not really a NEED. Other than this minor flaw, this thing has been perfect. I have never once found that I wish I had a bigger unit. ... show more

  • Great, with some caveats.
Style: Hot Dog
First, the build quality is excellent - doesn't feel cheap or poor quality. I expect it will last for years. It's very portable and easy to carry. Pretty quiet, about like you'd expect if you're used to compressors - more on quieter side. Cons are the 1 gallon is on the small side and the 1/2 HP is on the weaker side. Using a nozzle gun you've really only got about 7 to 15 seconds of straight usage before it runs out - with decreasing pressure over that time (obviously depending on air flow of nozzle). Recharge from empty is about a minute - which can be frustrating to stop and let it refill. This would be good if you're doing nailing or something with a slight pause in between usages so it can catch up, but if you're using it to blow things off like in a shop, the capacity is small and engine behind refill speed. If you're using it intermittently and for small projects, it's good. But if you're using it in a workshop where you'll need air stream constantly, I'd go with either 2+ gallon or 1+ HP as you'll find yourself stopping and waiting for it to refill. Used it to blow dust out of vacuum and had to keep stopping for it to catch up. This isn't a fault in the product, just went too lean on specs for my needs. Overall it is good quality and works well, but hits limits quickly. In hindsight I'd get either bigger tank or more powerful compressor engine for faster refill rate - even at higher cost. ... show more

  • Great air compressor for indoor use and light usage.
Style: Hot Dog
I bought this Senco PC1010 after doing a lot of research on quiet air compressors that I could use for indoor projects such as airbrushing, light carpentry and blowing out computers and electronics. I have to say this units reputation as quiet is well deserved, it is surprisingly quiet, the quietest air compressor by far that I've ever heard. It's also nicely compact in size, and pretty light weight while seeming to be of good quality construction as Senco is known for. The quietness does mean this is not a compressor has limits in terms of volume produced in a period of time, if you're hoping to do more than airbrushing, use a pneumatic nailer more than a few shots at a time, or have any high volume requirements this unit will not work. In order for it to go from an empty tank to full pressure (125 psi) it will take about a minute or slightly more, when it cycles it takes less time but you shouldn't expect this unit to be able to run a paint sprayer, fill a large tire quickly, run a framing nailer quickly, or any other high volume usage. The pump is also oil-less which is great for when you need air that doesn't have small amounts of oil disbursed in the air which is nice for indoor usage, or tasks like airbrushing, cleaning dust off things, etc. however realize that an oil-less pump will not last as long as one that is lubricated in an oil bath, so this compressor is better suited to light duty work. It also does not have a filter on the output, one can be added by purchasing a filter/dryer and removing the chuck and adding a few short lengths of 1/4" pipe and an elbow if you needed to. Overall this is a great compressor for indoor light usage where keeping the peace is of primary concern. ... show more

  • Just damn!
Style: Hot Dog
Awesome little compressor. Six stars, it's just better than great! Quiet, I mean QUIET!!! Great construction and finish. Light as a feather. Runs my 16 ga. nailer as fast as I want to go with 13 - 15 shots between cycles. Goes even farther with brads & pinners. I don't know how fast you are but this puppy will wear me out even hanging doors and heavy molding. I will probably never use anything else for one gun finish and repair jobs. Perfect for cabinetry too. The only negatives I've read on this compressor were from people who apparently expected it to keep an entire work crew busy. This is a one man tool and greatly exceeds it's rated capacity for such. It would make a perfect hobby compressor but understand it's way better than that. If you are a one or two man show, or do repair and project work check this compressor out. In my opinion it's the cat's pajamas. PS- I learned of this compressor from a friend who's son is the resident carpenter for a couple of the HGTV series's (Thanks Dave!). My friend even uses it for light framing and stapling flooring. He loves it and he has access to anything he wants. UPDATE: May2015. Everything I said above - Light, small, quiet, professional quality. What's not to love? ... show more
