Looks slicker than heck (If it works). I've got lots of compressed air lines out in the garages, but use a portable tank for small jobs inside the house. Nailers, etc.

This unit is obviously more expensive than a portable tank, but would be nice to not have to refill.

Ive been wanting to grab one of those since they introduced them, to replace a heavy 120v Porter Cable pancake.

Given the quality of their other 20 volt cordless tools, I'd say it should be good to go.

I have one of these that I got on sale. Works great for the small jobs. The price is alot better as well.

Would be nice but how noisy is it?

Noise might be a deal breaker, on a job site I like having the compressor out in the yard behind something because I don't like to hear it.

Quieter than most compressors, takes a little over a minute to fill the 2.5 gallon tank to 135lbs. Haven't had mine too long, but I love it for my plumbing van!

Small footprint, but puts out quite well, not for anyone who uses a shitload of air. Home use is what it is aimed at, so keep that in mind.

These Flexvolt tools are pretty awesome, I bought the 16" chainsaw awhile back and love it!! Must quieter than my gas saws, and it works great!!

Comes with a 6ah 60 volt battery, but will work with 20V and 120V batteries too.

I didn't realize that it worked that way. I knew you could use the 60v battery on a 20v tool, but didn't know the reverse was true. Does it chew through the battery 3x as fast?
