You can buy any small compressor, will do the job, it uses very low volume of air. for blowers, paintguns and drills you need high volume compressors. so if the nail gun is all you will use it for, buy an inexpensive compressor and save money. plz rate-bozcro

A DIRECT DRIVE COMPRESSOR & THE PRESSURE SWITCH IS FAULTY

STOP! Your pressure switch is doing what it is supposed to, but the tank check valve is leaking. This valve is usually at the tank where the line from the compressor head enters the tank. The small tube line from the pressure switch probably also goes to this valve. You'll need to clean or replace it.

Pressure gauge doesn't seem to work. The compressor pumps to 125,the safety valve trips,the pressure drops to 90, the compressor then kicks back on. adjusting the pressure gauge has no affect.

hi mate to adjust the pressure you need to take the cover off the pressure switch by unscrewing a little screw in the middle then it will pull off then inside you will find a screw /a bolt with sighns next to it saying + and - unscrew to decrease pressure screw in to increase pressure the pressure guage just tells you how much air is in the tank and when the compressor turns off it will bleed the air off in the system just incase you didnt know

My portable air compressor turns on but wont turn

Check the operation of the relief valve. This is usually located near the regulator and gauge and has a small ring that you fit your finger in and pull outward. When you do so, compressed air should be released. If this is stuck or cant be released, there is your problem. It is quite dangerous to let the tank reach pressures beyond that allowed by the relief gauge. Usually 120-150 PSI.

Portable Air Compressor Comparison

Portable air compressors give flexibility to the job both inside and outside the working environment. They're powered by electric, gasoline or diesel engine. A larger portable air compressor often has its own carrying trailer with wheels and handles. You buy a compressor based on its horsepower, pounds per square inch (PSI) and cubic feet per minute (CFM). Choose a portable air compressor to make work quicker and easier. Figure the amount of power you need based on the type of job and air tools used. Know the cubic feet per minute (CFM), such as 5 CFM for small household tools and 10 CFM or more for wrenches or sanders. All air tools have these ratings. Select a gas- or electric-powered engine. Gas gives a higher reliability for frequent use and portability, but consider electric for enclosed areas for its lack of fumes. Pick an air tank based on amount of use time and tools. Large tanks are best for longer use with sanders or grinders and smaller tanks for less time, like wrenches and air hammers. Consider the pump type you need: belt for heavy use or direct-drive for light home use. The quieter belt-drive pump needs periodic oil changes. Buy an inexpensive, small electric portable air compressor for small jobs. These typically operate from a 12-volt power outlet and inflate a 14-inch tire in a few minutes. Get a 150 PSI, 120 volt motor pancake-type air compressor for home use. These light-use models typically carry two air couplers, allowing hook up of two air tools and adequate 25 feet or more air hose. Obtain a larger PSI portable air compressor for bigger jobs, like nailing, with longer continuous use capabilities.
