This portable compressor was discussed in the "Electric Nailers" thread. I ordered it from Amazon on Monday and it came yesterday!!
The unit came with two rechargable 12v batteries and a auto-stop charger. A 6-8' coiled air hose with quick connects is included. A shoulder strap is provided for the 6.6 lbs compressor.
Both batteries were "empty" when shipped. The first battery took less than one hour to fully charge. I attached my DeVilbiss brad nailer to the compressor and started it up. It took 10 seconds to go from 0-120 PSI. It is surprisingly quiet. No louder than my ROS.
I loaded a strip of 100 18ga 1" brads. I nailed a piece of fir molding to a piece of 3/4" Birch Plywood. I shot as fast as I could, moving the nailer slightly between shots. I did not wait the two seconds recommended. I shot all 100 in a matter of minutes. Only six of the brads did not fully seat. At least some of those could be chalked up to my bad technique. When I waited the two seconds they all seated perfectly. [Paratroopers know how to count seconds!]
This works a lot better than I had hoped. It's just what I had in mind.
