Senco PC1010 1/2- Horsepower 1-Gallon Matte Finish and Trim Portable Hot Dog Air Compressor, Gray/Red

This compressor is exactly what I expected. It is light, there for very portable. It is great for finish work. I do light framing with the compressor but because of its size and weight you have to be patient. I have a much larger compressor for framing. I;m very with this unit.

Quiet-reliable-light weight, is perfect for little projects. Used it to shoot small staples on an exterior project putting up lattice. I like having it available for quick stuff to. I dont have to get the big compressor out for a tiny job. it also can do work like a big unit but just not as fast. You can put it a car and drive to a job-site for small things.

I usually dont take the time to write reviews as Im too busy, but this time is different. I ordered this little compressor because my friend had one and loved it. He said he was going around looking for things to nail at his house just so he could use his compressor. I know SENCO is a great brand and being an upholsterer, I have used their staple guns and know they are good. This compressor is light as a feather and can be moved around easily. I drive finishing nails as well as long staples with this little machine. When I first got it I filled it with air and then unplugged it for the weekend. When I came in on Monday morning it was still full and the needle on the gauge had not moved. It held air all weekend. My big compressor just doesnt do that. This little machine is the quietest compressor I have ever heard. It doesnt make you jump every time it switches on. Thumbs up for this tool!

[Sold by: Amazon.com LLC] This is a nice little compressor. I bought it on a whim to keep in garage to top-off car tires and blow air filters clean. Also bought Senco 18MG nailer and it all worked well. But lets be clear, THIS IS 1 GALLON, and its wont do anything in the way of impact wrench, large paint spray, etc. Might handle small hobby airbrushing.. someone else would have to confirm that. It is well built and appears to be good quality. Bought the Milton adapters, etc (S-210 coupler kit), along with Legacy HFZP1450YW2 Flexzilla Pro 1/4 x 50 Hybrid Air Hose (1/4 MNPT ends). Went together well and had no problems.

Senco PC1010 Oilless Compressor: Purchased for finish work. 2nd unit, first lasted 12 yrs. until capacitor failed. Have ordered a replacement capacitor. While waiting I purchased a new, same model (PC1010). Unit arrived timely (2 days-Prime) but output regulator would only adjust to roughly 86 psi. on the high end and jumped from high to low of 15 psi with no in between readings. Returned for a replacement, arriving today. Will update when I test the new unit. New unit arrived on schedule and works perfectly. Best small, light weight, low db compressor @$120 for finish carpentry work. I highly recommend the PC1010 unit mfg’ed Nov. 2019 over the PC1010N($144).

I recently had to change thing at my home studio that i use for airbrushing projects. I had a Porter Cable 6gal pancake compressor. and it works fantastic with only one drawback. It is very very loud inside the house hence all the complaints every time i turned it on. So I went hunting for something a little quieter. The best place to search was here at Amazon and not to my surprise I found and read the reviews on the Senco PC1010 and bought it. WOW! What a great buy for the money. Very affordable, very easy to get around and best of all it is very quiet. the recovery time is very short. If you are looking for a great airbrush compressor save yourself a lot of money and get this compressor. You will not regret it.

I liked the portability and low noise of this compressor. However it was inadequate for the heavier nailing I want to do. I think you need to better aware of your needs before purchasing any compressor. I needed more CFM and faster recovery.

This is the perfect compressor for tires and other smaller air-filled devices.

First off, let me tell you that I have five compressors and a couple of inflators now and have used many in over thirty years of contracting. This thing is great. After using my buddys I ordered one the next day. This does not take the place of my twin tank Empire unit for framing or heavier trim work, this will not take the place of a shop compressor or job-site unit. However - for a quick trim or repair job with a pinner, narrow crown stapler and even up to my 15ga finish nailer this is just fine. What a joy to carry this instead of a 50-60 pound unit in and out of small jobs. Quiet, quick, light and seems well built. The regulator was sticking for a while but that cleared up and I cracked the gauge glass getting it in and out of the truck so often. Still just keeps on pumping.

I bought this light weight compressor in 2015 to use with my finish nailer (pinner). I have been pleased with its easy portability and light weight, yet effective support for the finish nailer. Just recently, I pressed it into service to supply my 21-degree framing nailer when my much heavier pancake compressor died. I was pleased, and a bit surprised, to find that it adequately supports the framing nailer as well, so long as I am engaged in tasks that require some intermittent measuring and cutting, like building a wall, and not just straight nailing. I enjoy the convenience of being able to easily carry this Senco from room to room rather than being required to snake a long compressor hose from a much larger, heavy compressor that is not realistically portable. I had initially planned to buy a new pancake compressor for the framing nailer, but this unit has performed so well with the framing nailer, I have decided I can get along without a pancake compressor after all. Overall, I am quite pleased with the bang I am getting for the bucks I spent on my Senco PC1010.
