What Customers Are Saying
The product offers strong performance with fast recovery time and the ability to power multiple air tools simultaneously. However, it generates extremely loud noise exceeding 100 decibels, requiring hearing protection. Some users also experienced quality control issues like defective safety valves or air leaks, leading to returns.

It's a fairly quiet machine, especially for the 200psi rating. The quieter ones usually only go up to 100 psi and don't have a great cfm rating. This one has a high cfm and would work well with a framing nailer, but I haven't used it that way yet. I'm impressed with how fast the unit charges up too. I've been using it at 100psi with a brad nailer and it holds the setting quite well. I've had other compressors that wander around in the amount of pressure in the line necessitating a pressure r...

Does what I bought it for
Does what I bought it for (I mostly use mine with a Brad Nailer.) It will drive some other air tools (up to 4CFM - check your air tool specs) but that not what it is designed to do. This model, like most other air compressors, is LOUD (wear hearing protection.) It's also a bit heavy (I put mine on a 4 wheel dolly so I can wheel it around the shop for use, then roll it away to storage.)

Pourquoi j’ai acheté ce produit
J’ai acheté le compresseur 6 galons mais je ne suis pas un utilisateur régulier donc je ne possède pas assez de profondeur en terme d’utilisation pour en faire un commentaire sérieux. Ce que j’aime et c’est pourquoi je l’ai acheté c’est 1- son poids, parfait pour moi 2- il me donne la pression que je veux soit 150lbs et 3- il est plus silencieux que mon ancien compresseur de 12 lbs qui émettait un son d’enfer.

Great Product and Worth Getting
I have owned this product now for about 15 months now, and it has been a great product from filling up the tires on my wife's car, my truck, and our camper. I have done a small fencing project with ease, and built a shed, again with no issues. The only problem I have had is the air release valve sticks out about an inch from the ground, if you put it down on an angle or on uneven ground in a yard you can easily snap it off like mine did. I figured it would be easy to back out the threads and ...
Must have pancake compressor
It is definitely built like a tank for sure. Its a little heavier than other pancake compressors but thats only because its built right. You can run nail guns all day long with no issues. I recently put it to the test using it to paint kitchen cabinets with a HVLP gun and it has no problems keeping up. Best compressor out there without a doubt.

Dynamite comes in small packages!
I’ve used plenty of 6-gallon compressors, but The Tank is in a league of its own. Most pancakes 'gas out' the moment you pick up a framing nailer, but this unit handles it without breaking a sweat. With 200 PSI and 4 CFM, I’ve actually been able to run two nailers at once during a recent home renovation, and it never left us waiting for air. It’s built like a tank (literally), with a solid roll cage that protects the gauges when things get messy on-site. It is a bit louder and heavier than the ...

Good price and has high pressure and good reviews.
Haven't used it yet but I bought it because of the price was priced just right and bought a framing nailer to go with it I'll get back after I get a chance to use I.

Outstanding Quality and Performance
My contractor son-in-law has been using his compressor for a couple years now and I have used it on several occasions. Both on the job site and at home. I was so impressed with “The Tank” that I had to purchase my own. This workhorse will open up space in my garage when I move my antique compressor with 5hp electric motor, dual piston cast iron pump and 80 gallon tank out to the barn. I highly recommend this compressor.

Worth the money
Solid little compressor, fairly quiet. Bought it to run a texture gun for a 10’ wall, worked well. Wouldn’t try and texture a whole house, but for small projects it’s great

The Tank better than your craftsman / dewalt
I bought this a few days ago and The Tank is an air compressor and it’s quieter than my old pancake compressor .It’s well built and Japanese made tools last a very long time . Use it to air tires and to use nailers and occasionally run mechanic air tools . It keeps up with the work demand and its known to last . Nice mobile unit.
