Customer Reviews

I am on my second Senco PC1130. The first arrived with a smashed oil reservoir cover and oil all over everything. I'm still working on the return of that one. The second arrived fine. I live at high altitude and when I ran the compressor it would not shut off at full pressure. I got it to work by adjusting the pressure switch limits. However, my first job with it at a higher altitude had me making further adjustments to get it to shut off automatically. I've never had this problem with any of my other compressors and I can't see why this one should be sensitive to altitude? The compressor is about 20 pounds lighter than my "portable" Emglo and I am grateful for that. I've only used it with a trim gun and it seemed more than up to the task. This is medium loud and quieter that oil-less compressors that I have used. I have no regrets so far. This one was the second choice in a Tools of the Trade review (the first choice was about $500!). It is made in China.
If you don't mind about 60 pounds, the 15amp Dewalt (Emglo) is a great unit. I've had the original Emglo version for over ten years and going strong. I just wanted something a little easier to carry up stairs!

No quieter than anything else on the market. However, it has worked flawlessly for various home projects that have included at least 800ft of moulding (floor and crown) and tacking a few 2x4s when building a shed. I used a Hitachi 18ga gun to fire 2inch nails completely flush and clean.
