5 out of 5 stars worth the extra money   November 9, 2008

the Senco costs more than comparable capacity compressors but the quality of materials, workmanship, quietness, and reasonable weight (37#) made me happy to have paid the premium. I was doing a remodel job that required using a framing nailer....got 10 to 12 nails before the unit quickly and quietly recovered.

This is a great, comparatively light, little compressor that drives my stapler; brad driver and 16-gauge finish nailer with ease--though I haven't tried it with a 15 gauge nailer or anything larger. I have high expectations for any Senco product, so I did notice one minor design flaw if you plan to use a filter at the compressor connection. br / br /The female quick release is facing more toward the roll bar frame instead of angled away from it. There isn't enough space to clear a large in-line filter, so I used a swivel fitting to angle the air line away from the frame. It's not as loud as some of the pancake compressors, but is what you would expect of a 1-1/2HP racket-maker. I still intend to fashion a noise shroud for indoor and woodshop use. br / br /I should also mention that it took two tries to get a compressor delivered that wasn't damaged in transit. Damaged compressors seem to be an epidemic at Amazon (read the stories under Makita) but this is also attributable to bad compressor design as well as rough handling during shipping. My first compressor had a smashed pressure gauge inside, yet the Senco box was undamaged. Was it damaged at the factory? br / br /I have to praise Amazon Customer Service who replaced and delivered a perfect, new Senco compressor in just 72 hours--can't ask for better service than that. br /

This is a great little compresseor. I have a small contracting buisness and this compressor is light enough to carry through a house. It is quiet enough not to force everyone out of a room. It also is capable enough to handle finish work through light framing that you do in remodling work.
