![]() It's hard to talk about air compressors without mentioning Campbell Hausfeld. Included nailers have relatively short lifespan.Also, it seems as though the included nailers are only good for a few odd jobs before they suffer from performance issues. While this is a decently capable setup, there are complaints surrounding quality control that warrant ensuring everything is operational as soon as this kit arrives. Also, because it's a pancake, it's effortless to relocate as necessary and won’t take up much floor space wherever you decide to store it. This pancake compressor runs at 2.6 SCFM at 90 PSI and comes with two nailers-one for general work and another for finishing-along with a stapler and a 25-foot air hose. It will allow you to fill tires, but it’s bundled with some tools that will prove useful for miscellaneous home projects, all at a ridiculously good price point. Let's face it-having an air compressor doesn't necessarily mean you will use it for sanding or busting frozen bolts and this Bostitch 3-gallon compressor may be all you need. CFM/PSI: 5.0 SCFM 40 PSI / 4.0 SCFM 90 PSI.Also, it's worth noting that this model does damage easily in shipping due to poor packaging, and you'll want to inspect it thoroughly upon arrival. This thing runs at about 80dB which is certainly not the loudest compressor, but it is loud enough to drive some home shop owners nuts. While there is a lot to appreciate here, it isn't perfect. Of course, two hose ports, a large adjustment knob for regulation of flow, and the large wheels only make it friendlier to many projects. All of that makes it a good choice for most projects you'll tackle at the home base. As for the specs, this features a 20-gallon tank and can run at 5.0 SCFM at 40 PSI or 4.0 SCFM at 90 PSI and has a 175 PSI tank maximum. Of course, it is a Craftsman, and right away, that should tell you this model is largely targeted toward the DIYer and the middle-of-the-road pricing does confirm that. If time is important to you, just remember, the bigger the motor, the faster the inflation time.We're kicking off our list with a Craftsman 20-gallon compressor that resembles what you’d find in the home garage where more demanding projects exist. Inflation time - All MasterFlow air compressors have super fast inflation times. For larger tires like tractor tires (35s and up), the MF-1089 will have you up and going in no time. Tire size - Passenger vehicles/bike tires/motorcycle tires/mini pick up trucks will air up just fine with a smaller air compressor powered by the cigarette lighter (MF-1035, MF-1040, M1A1). Use - All MasterFlow air compressors are going to inflate tires, if you just want to top off your tires, you can use a smaller air compressor, if you're an off-roader and want to air up quickly, a larger compressor is going to do the job faster. Be sure that your power outlet is rated for 15A/180W or you'll blow a fuse and instead should choose a portable air compressor that powers from the vehicle's battery. ![]() ![]() Power source - MasterFlow has two options for powering our portable air compressors. Plug into a vehicle's power outlet (aka cigarette lighter) or connect directly to a vehicle battery. Depending on what's most important to you, you should consider:
