Rockworth RWHD2NK 2-Gallon Factory Reconditioned Hot Dog Portable Electric Air Compressor

This is the 1st time I have used a "hot dog" style compressor. I had a 4 gallon pancake compressor a few years ago that I sold during a money crunch situation. Comparing the 2 compressors: the hot dog is lighter, quieter, and seems to work better for what I use it for. (that being general use things for around the house).

Tools I have used that work well with this: air stapler(1/4"narrow crown 18ga staples of 3/4" to 1 3/4"), brad nailer(18ga 5/8" to 2" brads), angled finish nailer(1" to 2 1/2" 15ga), framing nailer(2" to 3 1/2" 16d nails), palm nailer, paint spray gun(1qt cup gen purpose), air blower nozzle, tire inflator.

Pros: fairly quiet(did not wake the wife sleeping 5o ft away in the bedroom "big+++"), light weight(easily portable), adjustable outlet pressure, 20 ft hose and quick connect coupler included(I have a 25 ft rubber extension hose that can be easily disconnected when not needed). Fairly small footprint(does not require much storage space)...Read more

Best price I could find on a portable compressor.Its 120v but,I'm running it off a car battery through a 400watt. inverter.Really nice option in the field. Had a broken rubber foot on delivery.The Rockworth company sent me 4 new ones next day. Very nice.
Came with hose & air chuck with gauge.Light & easy to carry . for $40.00 I probably buy another.

I bought this for its portability. When I don't want to haul my large compressor upstairs for minor projects, I thought this would fit the bill. And, it does. Actually, it will even run my framing nail gun although I'd worry about burning it out if I was doing a lot of nailing with the big gun. With the smaller finishing, stapling and brad nailers it's perfect. Highly recommended some smallish projects.
