Product Review

Porter-Cable’s solved the compressor mobility problem on two levels with this tool. First, and most impressively, it’s got a two-port removable console for remote air regulation and higher air pressure right where you’re working. And the compressor itself has wheels and an extension handle, making life easier on you.

Let’s face it: This compressor’s big, heavy and loud, with a max psi of 150. And we love it. You can run three or four guns at once off it with a splitter and have no air supply problems whatsoever. It’s built tough for the job site (and the trips to and from), with a full roll cage to shield your pump and motor. And last but not least, it’s oil-free and therefore maintenance-free.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Amazon.com Product Description
This 3.5HP (peak), 4.5 gallon, oil-free contractor style compressor is packed with features. It starts with the oil-free pump which is designed for durability and long use. It also packs 150 PSI in the tank for longer tool run time. The high-flow air regulator and two-port removable console are winning combinations for contractors. Having the ability to remove the console gives the user the opportunity to remote air regulation and gain higher air pressure closer to the job site. The full roll cage frame adds protection for the pump and motor. Include mobility kit for increased portability on the jobsite.

Technical Details
Tank capacity: 4.5 gallons. Running HP: 1.6. Max PSI: 150. Air delivery at 40 PSI: 7.8. SCFM at 90 PSI: 6.0. Gauges: two. Quick-Connect Couplers: Two. Weight: 85 pounds. Decibals: 94.

4.0 out of 5 stars From a homeowner, February 23, 2005

This review is from: Porter-Cable C3151 Job Boss 15 Amp 3.5 Horsepower 4-1/2 Gallon Oil-Free Wheeled Single Hot Dog Compressor (Tools & Home Improvement)
This is a great compressor. Not knowing much about the construction biz, I splurged to start work on my basement. Very good decision. Mostly agree with what others have said, but here are a few notes for those of you who are like me and DON'T do this stuff for a living:

1. The manual says 15 Amps, but its more like a hair above that. It will trip a 15 Amp circuit breaker if there is more than one appliance. It even tripped my 15 amp dedicated circuit for my sump pump. My only good performance came from plugging into my dedicated washing machine outlet which happened to be 20 Amps.
2. One of the tubes came disconnected out of the box. The copper one that pumps the air into the reservoir. Not a big deal, but it took me about 2 hrs to figure out that a gasket was NOT missing and that the tube connects through a "furrowing" ring (basically it self-tightens to hold the tube in place). Perhaps a quality control issue.
3. The cut-off pressure is not...Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great compressor, but you have to do your part to make it 5 stars!!!, December 8, 2006

(REAL NAME)   
I warn you this is long winded, but it will payoff in the end. I promise! I chose this model over its oil lube sibling because of the higher recovery. I bought this compressor reconditioned at a great price of $189 about 6 months ago and it arrived within 2 days and in great shape! I assumed by looking at it that either it was not what someone wanted or expected or used it for a quick job, cleaned it up and sent it back. I didn't care as long as it didn't need any parts. I turned it on and got no pressure. After a quick lookover I realized that the quick disconnect behind the removable control panel was, well, disconnected. Proving the latter assumption. After reconnecting all was fine except as everyone points out it cycles often. And after cycling 5 times, it tripped my 15A breaker. If you turn the unit on until it cuts off with nothing hooked up and the valve turned down to 0, watch the gauge to see how long it holds. IT WON'T BE LONG!!! I removed each air line...Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, October 5, 2005
This review is from: Porter-Cable C3151 Job Boss 15 Amp 3.5 Horsepower 4-1/2 Gallon Oil-Free Wheeled Single Hot Dog Compressor (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have been in the carpentry business for 30 years and have never been as disappointed in a American tool as this one. First off the unit is huge, it has a handle but won't stand up on its back legs,it gets hot and has no easy place to grab it to put it in the truck, it is the noiseist compressor i have ever used. The on off switch is all but hidden, the cord wrap is useless, the wheels and axel vibrete and rattle, even the stickers are falling off already. The reason the front plate comes off is because it is twice as heavy and nosy as it should be. PC makes good tools but I don't like this one. Bob Meanix
