Senco's PC1010 oil-free portable air compressor is for you if you need an affordable and portable way to inflate tires and power light-duty tools. At a mere 20 pounds, you won't need a lot of muscle to carry this compressor around the house. We especially like the well-balanced design and the cushioned handle for added comfort. The PC1010's super-small size and lightweight construction also makes it easy to store in your workshop, garage or even an indoor closet. For that matter, you can pack it in the trunk of your car and take it with you everywhere.

Powered by a 0.5-horsepower direct-drive motor/pump for efficient operation (1-horsepower peak), the unit has a 1-gallon tank and pumps up to 0.6 cubic feet per minute (CFM) at 100 pounds per square inch in 128 seconds, with a recovery time of 35 seconds. That may not be powerful enough for heavy-duty use, but the PC1010 is perfect for hobbies and crafts, finish and trim work (like crown molding, baseboards, cabinets and window casings) and inflating toys and tires.

Where the Senco PC1010 really shines is in its whisper-quiet sound (only 69 decibels) when the motor is running. It is the quietest air compressor we tested. You can even get right up to it and carry on a conversation with another person without straining to hear.

This unit is economically priced and easy to carry and operate, yet it is powerful enough for a wide variety of applications. Whether you're a homeowner, hobbyist, handyman, woodworker or interior decorator, the Senco PC1010 oil-free air compressor is a great buy for the household or workshop.
