Porter-Cable Compressors

You don’t need to be another Dick Jarmon to appreciate the value of Porter Cable Compressors. Dick Jarmon is a mechanical equipment fan who is also called The Porter-Cable Collector who has been steadily accumulating Porter-Cable power equipment since 1966. Though some may want to take the Dick Jarmon route and go whole hog buying Porter Cable Compressors, you can try out three main models for starters.

Porter Cable Compressors are different from your regular power tools because they use compressed air to power your power tools. You have to choose the Porter Cable Compressors which will meet your specific hobbyist or shop worker needs. For instance, if you will be shifting job sites frequently, you need Porter Cable Compressors that can be easily transferred from location to location without much effort. But if you need a very powerful air compressor that can do the work that the smaller ones can’t, then you may need the heavier types of Porter Cable Compressors instead.

The bigger Porter Cable Compressors are generally recommended for job sites where many power tools are to be connected to the compressor at one time. This means you have to select Porter Cable Compressors that will offer a steady compressed air supply, instead of just short spurts of air, so that you get additional horsepower. The tools that can use this type of compressor could be pneumatic drills, paint sprayers, and air sanders.

One of the Porter Cable Compressors you can try is the Model CPF23400S. This 4-gallon model is both durably made, and features dual ports and a pressure regulator. The ease with which you can use this model makes up for its bulkiness and 75 pound weight. You could probably sit it on a wagon-like wheeled contraption to move it around.

If you want a portable type of compressor, you can look into getting a Porter Cable C2150 4 Gallon 150 PSI Air Compressor. Its retractable handles and two large back wheels allow for easy transfer of location or job sites when necessary. It has oil-free lubrication, and 150 maximum PSI.

A Porter Cable compressor you can hand carry would be the Porter Cable C2002 6 Gal. Compressor. It has an engine over the tank and a handle attached to that engine so that you can lug this piece of equipment around when needed. The nice thing about this compressor is that you can use it even in cold weather, and just attach an extension cord when necessary.
