The $39 closeout Husky compressor at HD is outfitted nicely for
the price. It comes with plenty of quick connects for 3 or 4 tools
and has quick connect outlets preset at 90 and 40psi as well as a
blow gun, coiled hose, and several other small accessories. It's
about the size of an upright vacuum cleaner, but weighs a few pounds
more. It has nice, beefy wheels that make it easy to move around.
There's a beefy 3-prong cord but it's a little short.
In my opinion you get $39 worth of compressor. The half-gallon
tank fills pretty quickly and even though it's an oilless model, the
noise isn't too bad. It shoots 18-gauge brads just fine. However,
after just shooting 3 brads, the tank refilled--which was pretty
startling when you're about shoot some nails. The quick connect to
the nailer also leaked air which made the compressor cycle on even
sooner than expected.
Although it was REALLY annoying that the compressor cycled on so
frequently, having it as a backup unit makes it very convenient. You
won't have to snake hose through your hose for a few quick shots and
today, while I was at a neighbor's house, it was indispensable. I'm
sure there are better *portable* compressors but for the $39 closeout
price and the included accessories, it's not bad.
