I tested using a DEWALT 51238K nail gun; driving 1.5″ 18 gauge brads through 1/2″ MDF and into a moderately dense 2×2 as a test, about as fast as I cared to place them. The compressor had no problem feeding the gun; when the pressure did drop the tank recharged nicely, its not too loud. I’m very happy.One minor initial annoyance: The tank charged perfectly after the break-in; but as soon as I turned the regulator to pressurise the main line, the all the air bleeds out from what feels like the back of the regulator knob, and line pressure is stuck at 0.I searched for a solution online and didnt find anything; Rather than just return the unit I took the black faceplate off, charged the tank for a few seconds (10-20psi) and had a feel around as I turned the regulator – it appeared the air was coming directly from the base of the regulator knob; I discharged the tank, slipped a small flat blade under the retaining pin pushing it out, away from the barrel (you can see it as a shiny dot near the base of the knob) and fully unscrewed the knob.Inside I find a grease covered spring, and under that a plastic valve cap; I gently lifted both out with a pair of needle nose pliers and it is immediately obvious why the valve is leaking – the O ring that is supposed to be around the base of the floating value is sitting loose in the bottom of the chamber.To fix it: Extract the O-ring and check for damage, mine had none – so I wiped a little of the excess grease onto it and put it back onto the bottom of the plastic valve; put the value in the base of the barrel, put the spring back on top of the value; and the knob on top of the spring, and screwed it about halfway down. I pressed the retaining pin back in and turned the knob fully counterclockwise to check it was properly secure and re-assembled the unit.Power-Up; tank charges, turn the regulator to varying pressures from 20-130 the outlet pressurises.A 5 minute fix, saving me the return hassle.As I said, I’m very pleased with the unit – if it had just worked I would give it 5 stars; because I had to fix it I’m giving it 4 and I’m leaving this review with my fix in case others have a similar problem and feel like fixing it themselves.The usual disclaimers apply;

Use it in our RV. Dimensions elsewhere on Amazon are (apparently) for the box it comes in.Actual size is 9 inches tall, 14 inches wide and 19 inches deep.

As stated by others, I ignored the warning of the faulty valve thinking mine would be fine but it would not provide psi after trying to use it until I took apart the valve and fixed the O ring seating. Sure if works as intended beside a that but keep in mind, if you need to adjust your psi often, do not get this unit. The ring comes out of place almost every time you have to lower the psi. If you keep it on a certain PSI, then get it because itโs a solid unit besides from this fault they do not seem to care to fix.
