Maxus EX1001 0.5 HP 1-Gallon Oil-Free Air Compressor

 (1 customer review)

This compressor has everything going for it -- quiet, lightweight, non-rusting, clean, and able to keep up fine with pneumatic fastener guns and air brushes. I do on-site service work and this is the one that I carry with me. It's easy to carry into a home or business due to its light weight. The aluminum tank also means there is no rusty water to drip out. You only have to drip rusty water on someones carpet once to appreciate this -- the drain discharge is clear. It's hard to imagine anyone opting for a cordless tool when you can easily handle this one.
