This air compressor is ideal for anyone working inside where noise is a major issue.

Review: Yes it's quiet and works well - This is one of those buy to last tools verses getting the cheapest thing you can find for one shot use. That said its good value for the money. This compressor works well indoors (nice and quiet) for airbrushing, blowing off parts, driving pneumatic tools, maintaining tire pressure for cars and bicycles,... All around a great air compressor for home use – compact and convenient to carry though a bit heavy– that can easily handle commercial jobs (see painting caveat below.) You'll want to add a moisture trap for airbrushing. But this isn't the compressor for your LPHV paint gun (think spray painting fences or cars.) This compressor can easily handle the Low Pressure required, but it can't manage the continuous High Volume needed. I suppose if you're patient and attentive you could manage painting a fence a few boards at a time as you deplete and re-pressurize the tank on this compressor. But really...
Review: Long time dreamer. First time purchaser. - I've contained a lust for California Air Tool compressors, for years. However, they seemed too pricey. Plus, I already had a couple compressors that functioned perfectly fine, but they're loud as all-get-out. Now that the CAT compressors are within my budget and I've gotten a bit older, maybe wiser (think about "1970's rock concerts"), I treated myself to what I consider an indispensable piece of equipment. The 1 HP 2 gallon with Aluminum tank is pretty easy to carry. While running, you can, literally, have a normal-voice level conversation while standing 4 feet away. It's compact enough to stash under one of my workshop shelves and doesn't suppress or disrupt any sense of calm while I'm obsessing over some perceived-essential wood shop task (should I hang my coping saw on peg board, keep it in a drawer or throw it on the work bench). It doesn't trip a 15-Amp breaker. My 15-gauge Makita finish nailer will set a 2 1/2" nail through 1" thick Hickory stair treads into Pine stair stringers, all day long. My 16, 18 and 23-gauge nailers and/or staplers aren't a challenge for this guy. It'll give me enough air blast to dust off my saws before storage and pump up my 80 PSI truck tires. My Gal was impressed by the quietness when I turned it on for the first time. As usual, she was expecting my pre-unboxing accolades to be hyperbole and excuses for buying a tool. Honestly, she said, "Wow", with zero sarcasm, in her normal that's-really-cool-but-it-doesn't-cook-dinner voice. She'll have to listen to my 25-year-old, cast-Iron pump, 20 gallon compressor I use in our garage, until it's, hopefully soon, replaced with a California Air Tools big-un. I might run that noisy, old, oil-dripper a lot, just before a new garage-size CAT unit gets delivered. Also, assembly, was excessively simple. It took about a minute, but I tortured myself for a few seconds, pondering the optimal position for the air intake tube. I decided on pointing it downward, towards the outboard side, thinking that would provide a clean path for cooler-air intake. My Gal, offered no objection. Like, I woulda listened, anyway. I coulda heard her though, if she had. This thing is very quiet. P.S. I don't expect it to keep up with my bump-fire framing nailer or an air ratchet. I haven't tried, either. That's not why I bought it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm using tekton 46135 3/8" id hose with milton s-212 1/4" npt m style connectors and the 2010a seems to leak air. anyone has similar issues?**
A: the old valves/quick connects were bad and leaked be careful putting a new one in the manifold is plastic and will break

**Q: Is the tank corrosion free?**
A: The tank is supposed to be corrosion free, but I recommend replacing the tank drain valve.  The ball in the valve is made of steel, which does not play nice with water.  I bought mine compressor in August 2020, I replaced the valve June 2022 with a 1/4” brass valve because it was so rusted.

**Q: Where is this compressor made, country of origin?**
A: this is made in the USA

**Q: I take it that its made in China ?**
A: I just enlarged one of the photos in this Amazon listing for model 2010A and you can read as plain as day that it is Made in China.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Air between Us.
*by P***Y on April 7, 2017*

By the numbers: First - yes it is ultra quiet. The manufacturer totes this at 60db (which is pretty quiet) you can have a conversation standing right next to it. Number 2 - It presses up to tank pressure of 115psi in just a few minutes (if that - it seems really quick). III - It has a solid design that is compact and portable, light-weight in comparison to other steel tank units. 16/4 - The suction cup feet even if not on a super smooth surface keep the unit from moving around a lot when running. 5 - out of the box and up and running in about 2 minutes. 3x2 - The switch is solid and accurate starting and stopping in auto right on with the pressures. Tank pressure gauge is a bit difficult to read from a standing position (that is the one critical thing I would recommend changing - installing a 90degree adaptor soon so I can see the gauge better). The regulator is nicely positioned and easy to use. The drain valve is positioned low as it should be and super easy to operate (just a quarter-turn to open the valve). Seventh of the order - If you are tempted to ask other reviewers IF a specific tool will work with this unit, I would recommend reading the literature on both the unit and your tool FIRST. The tool will usually provide a recommended pressure and CFM, and the compressor will either meet that demand or it will not and you will need to size the compressor accordingly. I just got this compressor and it doesn't have a lot of run hours on it, but out of the box I'm giving it a solid 5 stars.
