2.5 Gal. - Air Compressors - The Home Depot

Question 1

What specifications should I look for to handle bigger jobs like framing, roofing, and bolting?

Accepted Answer

Contractors completing framing nailing, roof nailing, or bolting often need a higher-power stationary air compressor. For the power to drive tools like framing nailers and impact wrenches, it is best to look at models with a larger tank (20 gallons or higher) and a higher air delivery rate (4 SCFM at 90 PSI or more). Models with higher air delivery rates and larger tank sizes will do the job!

Question 2

What are the different compressor types offered?

Accepted Answer

We have a wide selection of compressor types, including light duty, professional, and light duty.

Question 3

Which PSI range should I be looking for?

Accepted Answer

The PSI you need depends on the tools you'll be using. Most common DIY air tools, like nail guns and smaller spray guns, typically require between 90 PSI and 150 PSI.

Question 4

What's the difference between different voltage battery platforms?

Accepted Answer

Higher voltage batteries, like the DeWalt 60V MAX Flexvolt, generally provide more power, allowing for longer runtimes and the ability to power larger, more demanding air compressors. A higher voltage system might be best if you need consistent power for tougher jobs, but a 20V MAX tool like the DeWalt 20V MAX will often work for simpler jobs. This gives you more flexibility to get the job done.

Accepted Answer

The 2.5 Gal. 140 psi Portable 20V Cordless Air Compressor Kit with FLEXVOLT Advantage, 6.0Ah FLEXVOLT Battery, and Charger is one of our top-rated air compressors.
