Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good tool I own a reminding business and work inside of houses that are occupied most of the time. A loud compressor that kicks on all to often was very annoying. I didn't see very good reviews on this model but took a chance. The pump is great short recovery time very quiet so far it has run a framing nailer under heavy use with E's. The only problem is I have found are in the ergonomics of the handle and wheels. The wheels are horrible for anything but a finished floor and the handle requires user to be in a very uncomfortable position when transoorting.. I put bigger wheels on it and it seemed to solve not problems great tool all n all

With this California Air, I stand next to it with no problem. You can talk to someone with slightly raise voices. I use a blowgun a lot and was a little concerned about going with a smaller tank. No problem! It keeps up with the blowgun easily and, since it's so quiet, I can let it run nearby. It's nice and compact with a much smaller footprint than my old one. Despite what the specs say, it's only 16" wide at the axle which makes it easy to get out of the garage without having to back the car out. Don't hesitate to get one. I used it for few months before doing the review. It's a quality build, does everything I need and is a pleasure to use. Well worth the investment.

I don't hand out five star reviews very often, but I believe this air compressor deserves one. Quiet as advertised, pumps up quickly, and well made. Replaced a front bearing hub assembly on my 3/4 ton pickup, here in Lincoln, Nebraska they use a salt brine solution on the streets in the winter, so on my 14 year old truck the front end components were rusted in place. Needed air tools for disassembly, putting this mid- sized air compressor through its paces. It kept up well. I replaced my 30 year old compressor (a different brand) when the tank rusted out, this CAT unit is sooo much better.

It is super quiet and after owning a Craftsman 4HP since 1998, I can truly say: "What the Heck took me so long to find this California Air Tools Air Compressor?" I had an issue with the regulator leaking air and I called the company to talk with them about this and they sent me a whole new Regulator Component that day under their great warranty. I can't say enough good about this compressor and the company. They have a new lifetime customer. Thank you California Air Tools.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Expectations met This compressor does great always make sure to read the suggested gallon size recommended when buying airtools .i previously owned a dewalt 6 gallon compressor and was constantly emptying way to quickly and the dewalt compressor was extremely loud and took way too long to recover. With that being said ,the California air tools 15 gallon compressor dominates in every aspect besides a larger tank .lets just look at the motor over twice as much h.p with half the decibels! Half the recovery time and of course 15 gallons .with the 6 gallon pancake dewalt all i could do was use a nailer .a small angle grinder wold drain its tank in seconds luckily i was well within the first 90 days so sorry to say i returned it and bought the 15 gallon California air tools compressor and i am satisfied!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works as advertised! I used this for the first time at a trade show. I used it to run a tire changer and diagnostic balancer. I was able to demonstrate my Equipment functions without the compressor being too noisy. It was almost unnoticed thanks to the show being busy. My only complaint is I with I could get this Compressor with a 30 gallon tank.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Worst customer service ever! Avoid them Had this compressor and loved it . Had problems 2 yrs later and bought a 2nd of the same. Had problems with the new lemon the first month, called them and told them it was my second and they said "some people would buy a second just to get free parts to repair the 1st one but sent parts reluctantly. 1 year later, around $300 in parts to keep it working and they don't care! Called for parts yesterday when they opened and stressed i needed it next day and was assured they would b here but just got a message they were just shipped out today. THEY DON'T CARE!

Holy crap is this thing quiet compared to every other compressor I've used in my life. You can be within a foot of this and not be any more uncomfortable than if you were running a microwave. Easily capable of taking inside a home and not blowing out any eardrums. As for the performance, I've used this for general tire filling and blowing out dirt, but also used it with my HVLP paint sprayer to prime up a large utility trailer, AND with a high-pressure gun used to spray bedliner on said trailer. Both times worked without fault, the built-in regular works perfectly. Kept up with my paint sprayer with no issue, and only had to stop for about 30 seconds every 5 minutes or so with the bedliner sprayer, which realistically should be used on a 30-gallon+ unit. Would purchase again, buy one for my brother and my mother, and highly recommend for anyone

I'm opening a bicycle shop. Will this compressor be able to keep up with filling tubes all day? Sometimes needing to seat tubeless tires which is slightly demanding when it comes to frequency of air.

whats the tank made of

whats the tank made of
Asked by: Al
The compressor tank is made of steel. It can and will corrode if you do not empty it of the air every time you are done using it as the air it intakes will have moisture in it that sits in the tank.

can this be used to paint cars ?

Asked by: dan
Full size guns require 10-14 cfm, might work if you get two of these and connect the tanks together with a hose so you get 30 gallons. Not sure if that's enough, but the guy from cAT told be the 20 gallon with 4hp should run the spray gun (Sata jet 5000 rp). The Sata guys told me they think I need a 60 to 89 gallon thank. I think it might work on a 30 gallon tank with 4 hp

Will this have any problem spraying mud for knockdown texturing?

Asked by: Al
It is not suitable for any kind of spray gun. Not enough capacity in the tank. I tried to use with a hvlp spray gun to paint my house compressor cycled on a lot and overheated. I would not recommend for use with spray equipment.
