California Air Tools 10020CHAD Ultra Quiet & Oil-Free 2.0 Hp, 10.0 Gal. Steel Tank Air Compressor with Auto Drain Valve

It is a pretty well built compressor. It works as advertised.

Great little small garage compressor that runs quiet, except for the auto drain, you will jump when that turns on. Piped it outside through the garage wall now everything is quiet. Has a 10 gallon tank, its small but keeps up fairly well using it with power tools, air gun and anything that requires 120psi of air. For me the size, the, sound and performance fit . Jim M

The auto drain will make you jump. It need not: tune the flow down with a needle valve. For a few bucks, bothersome LOUD periodic noise gone. With that revision, this is a good compressor. After a few days of minimal use, a leak formed at the threaded port at the tank top to the solenoid valve. Probably Teflon tape will fix it, but I am disappointed it wasn’t air tight and bombproof from factory.

The compressor is very quite. The excess air release at the bottom is louder than the motor. Dont let the compact size fool you. Actually the size is an asset since it fits in any corner of your garage. Just make sure you have a long hose, at least 50 to 100 since the compressor have no wheels plus is kind of heavy. I use it with my tire impact wrench, staple and nail gun, spray paint small areas and sander. This little guy can do it all. Dont forget to add a dryer and filter for Floridas humid climate.

Buen equipo lo recomiendo

My unit was also damaged like mentioned in other reviews. This thing is pretty big and cumbersome to send back, I wish I had an option from Amazon to get some kind of partial refund or allowance since the item was damaged. Important to note, there was no visual damage to packaging, so not sure if I received a used/returned unit? Other than that, the air compressor is great, very quiet and works brilliantly. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a smaller air compressor for a garage where you might be concerned with noise.

One support leg was bent (Id say when it was boxed from factory; not delivery. Box was not damaged). straightened out as much as I could. I sat it on a shelf and ran it. Cycle time is great and tried to empty tank while running but this one basically holds pressure at 90 while using an air nossle. Recovery time is short. Nice little compressor for my wood shop.
