    I use this compressor for site work. It is too small to be run in a shop but at a work site it’s great. It can keep up with 2 or 3 guns no problem, and handles an air chuck just fine. The compressor is quite which is rare in an oil less pump design. I like that it has a ball valve on the bottom to drain the water and it is very easy to carry around. It is defiantly the best compressor for the price range.

    I’ve had this compressor for a couple of years. I framed and finished a basement with it when I bought it, and then it sat for a year or so, and now I’m trying to use it to fix some fencing.

    When I first bought it I noticed that if it was cold and there was any pressure in the tank (10 psi or more) the motor was not strong enough to run and build pressure. It would turn a couple of times and then stall and you could hear it drawing current and not getting anywhere. I would have to turn it off, empty the tank, and then start the compressor again. Once I did that the motor would get running and it could build up to 100 psi no problem.

    Recently it started doing this every time – meaning I would shoot 5 nails and the compressor would kick on but the motor would stall. I would need to shut it off, empty the tank, and then turn it on. It takes a few minutes, but it builds up a full 100 psi again…

    Maybe there is something wrong that needs repair, but I can’t find anything on the web about what might need to be fixed. I think the motor is just too weak on this compressor…

    Got my Bostitch CAP2060P delivered by FedEX and opened to find that the top was crushed as if someone had turned it upside down.Called Amazon and they sent a replacement the next day by UPS.I opened it to find that it was nowhere near as broke as the first,but still the handle was broke.Called them back and now it looks like all I’ll get is a refund and experience opening the boxes these come in.I am really upset over this and am now scared to order anything of this nature from Amazon.

    I bought this compressor with the trim gun set for a good price at Home Depot. It always smelled kind of funny when it ran but since it was brand new I assumed that’s just the way it was. I had it two years with very intermittent use and one day it started to smell worse and worse and start to smoke. Now it won’t even cut on. The warranty is up so even though the compressor is basically brand new and broken, I’m out of luck so far.

    From other reviews I’ve found online it sounds like this model compressor is a complete dud.

    I have owned this air compressor for about a year and a half. We built our own home, and I used it quite a bit. If you were going to be using a compressor all the time, you may want one with a little more air capacity so the compressor does not kick on all the time. But for me, this works just fine. And a great price on Amazon to go with it!
