Coleman Air Compressor: Porter-Cable C3101 15 Amp 1-1/2 Horsepower 4.3 Gallon Oil-Free Side Stack Compressor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this air compressor for running air nailers, which it does perfectly. The 150PSI pressure of the tank and compressor live up to the hype, no drop in pressure is experienced when the compressor kicks on. This air compressor also provides a very generous air flow compared to similar 120V units, enough to run multiple nailers at the same time with again no noticable drop in air pressure. However I should note, the compressor does run frequently as a result of its 4.3 gallon tank (every 6-12 shots from the framing nailer), but regardless the compressor keeps up with the demand for air, even when rigorously bump nailing. The frame around the entire unit is very solid and does offer good protection for the motor and compressor. The carrying handle is conveniently located approximately at the units center of gravity, providing for a comfortable carry. I have been more than satisfied with the unit and would recommend it to anyone looking for a rugged, portable, air compressor.

Product Description:
Great for laying flooring or other heavy-duty projects that demand a nailer, this oil-free side stack compressor from Porter-Cable is designed to prevent sudden drops in pressure. It provides a generous air flow via a pressure switch that starts the pump at 120 psi and stops it at 150 psi. There's also an ultra-efficient, high-performance 1.6 running horsepower induction motor that gets its power from a 15 Amp circuit to supply 7.7 SCFM at 40 PSI and 5.3 SCFM at 90 PSI. A solid, sturdy frame protects both the motor and compressor, and a convenient carrying handle helps ensure easy portability. It's also a snap to work on slopes, thanks to both the oil-free design and the protective roller bar that guards against any tipping of the motor. And a clear, readable gauge helps keep you on-track.
