I had used it for a little more than a year, just doing some small jobs around the house. It now doesn’t work, it wont gain any pressure past 20 psi. I’m not too happy seeing the closest authorized repair place is 40 miles away. Never again will I buy Bostitch.

I recently purchased 3 compressors form amazon the first was a Hitachi double hotdog which came broken and after parts (free from Hitachi) and my time still is leaking (disappointing) Second was this bostitch which I got as a package with the 3 guns and to be honest I only wanted the guns so this compressor was to be sold. Well because the Hitachi was down I used this and it does everything I wanted, quick, lite and not to loud. I’m not in a rush to fix the Hitachi now. By the way the third compressor is the little Senco. I will give a review on that after I use it this week.

I purchased this compressor in late November and had no problems with the compressor until January. The compressor started to leak air out of a valve on the side and would constantly run to try and keep the air compressed. That issue was fixed via a 30 minute conversation over the phone, but then 1 week later the compressor began to only compress air up to 20PSI total. It would run and run but never actually compress any more air. I had to take the thing into a local authorized repair shop because it was past 90 days at LOWES and the repair shop has now had my compressor for 1 month with the expectation that it will take another 2 weeks before I’ll get it back. Stanley Bostitch said that there is a manufacturer defect with that type of compressor and I just have to wait for the company to fix it. DON’T BUY THIS PRODUCT, unless you have a backup compressor on tap to use because 1 1/2 months to fix the thing doesn’t work for someone that needs the compressor every week to use. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!

This compressor has worked great for me. I like that it is somewhat powerful and also light enough to pick up by hand. I also like the oil-free aspect of it – keeps everything clean.

I use it to run an impact wrench, keep a fleet of cars tires pumped up, and run a diaphragm pump. It has plenty of power for more than that.

I would recommend this compressor to any one.It does not pull very many amps so it can be used on a low amp breaker and a long extension card .I am a serviceman and have been using a craftsman dual tank compressor for many years. The bostitch compares to the craftsman.Have read reviews that people has said the bostitch is loud.All compressors that put out any volume of air will make noise and each compressor has there on tone of noise.I can not hear that this compressor is any louder than others. It just has its on tone.You can not go wrong with this compressor for medium use.

My home compressor is a Makita Mac2400 which blows this thing out of the water. However, I have to use the bostitch at work. Earplugs are my new best friend. This thing and the portercable pancake are too loud IMO.

I have to admit, we run this thing pretty hard bangin in floors all day and it keeps up. It seems to be hard working. Regardless, I can’t wait till it breaks.
