About This Product

The CALIFORNIA AIR TOOLS 5020W Ultra Quiet & Oil-Free Rugged Air Compressor is designed to be one of the quietest 2.0 Hp air compressors in the industry having only 70 decibels of sound and features extra large 7.6 in. wheels, the Powerful 2.0 HP (SP-9421) motor operates at only 1680 RPM creating less noise and less wear. Motor has been designed to increase duty cycle and allow for longer continuous run times, the Oil-Free Dual Piston Pump System is engineered for high performance, durability and provides up to 135 psi, the CAT-5020-Watt Air Compressor has a Oil-Free Dual Piston pump designed to have a life cycle before wear of 3000 Plus hours compared to other comparable air compressors with life cycles of 500-hours or less, the Oil-Free pump allows for use in a variety of temperatures (cold starts) and uneven terrains (no oil in the pump), the Easy Start Valve feature allows for a easier start up using less starting amps, the Easy Start Valve releases a small amount of air from the pump at start up to produce a no-load condition allowing the SP-9421 motor to spin freely, this no-load start up requires less amps for a easier start up in cold temperatures, the large 5.0-Gallon Steel Air Compressor is only 82 lbs. making it very easy to move around the jobsite and is lighter and quieter than all competitive models in the same class. Designed for the person looking for Rugged Durability, Power, Air Flow, Less Service and Maintenance with at Least 30% Less Noise.

Answer This Question

We do not include an Industrial Air Hose with our items, however you may purchase a 25' or 50' California Air Tools Hybrid Polymer (high quality) Industrial Air Hoses from us, for example here is a 50 foot hose available via Home Depot: https://www.homedepot.com/p/California-Air-Tools-1-4-in-50-ft-Hybrid-Air-Hose-HFH25-50/316954418

    Delivered to Home Depot in big cardboard box with foam packing inside. Box was dropped and one of the wheel struts was dented. Too many loose parts inside the box like wheel axes and rubber foot bumpers that could have fallen out thru holes in box, had to hunt for them. Compressor seems to be working correctly and holding pressure but maximum is 110 PSI only. The wheel frame extends too far back and impedes tilting handle properly to roll it comfortably, must not go too far from vertical position.

    Overall Good - But some Issues
    Purchased on 3/10/25. The good: I do like this compressor. It's quiet and has a low center of gravity. both imo, are important considerations for a portable unit. all the other 5 gal. compressors of similar specs and cost were either of the long horizontal or taller vertical tank type. the former can be awkward and difficult to maneuver, while the latter has all the weight at the top and could be tipped over by pulling on the air hose if not careful. The bad: First, the two brass couplers are junk imo. Both of mine still leaked air after trying several new 1/4 plugs in them, causing the compressor tank to annoyingly drain down and restart when not in use. I replaced both with quality couplers from Milton and it solved the problem. Second, as a previous reviewer discovered, the portion of the compressor frame that runs parallel to each wheel extends out too far and doesn't allow the unit to be tipped back enough so it can be properly pulled. The included manufacturer's pic at the link below shows how it should look, but mine came longer, extending out closer to the wheel's outside diameter. Plan on trimming them shorter if you buy this compressor. and also replacing the couplers if they're a concern. https://www.californiaairtools.com/s/cc_images/cache_4112517978.jpg

      Purchased to replace and old and loud 33 gallon as I mostly use it for tires and general inflation. The noise level so far is really nice 1 month in, and overall happy with it. I have one issue. I bought the wheeled cart type so I can pull it into the back yard to drain a pool heater. The design is a miss here. The frame of compressor sticks out almost even with the wheels at the bottom so you cannot tilt it to a natural "pull behind" position without it dragging on the ground, grass, etc. Wish I could post a photo to show this, as it's a big miss on the functionality part. I may need to cut 1/2" off those two tubes to create needed clearance. Packaging is poor, item slightly damaged but not enough to return it so I kept it. Ship to store and inspect before taking possession. Everything on my old compressor was enclosed. This has two filters sticking out the back and a lot more exposed items that are potential bump/break points.

      This seems to be doing the job ok, although when I first got it, it was leaking air out of the regulator valve. Not sure if it was some kind of sealant that jumped back into place, but it seems to be working ok now. It's a very quiet unit so very pleased with that. The box it came in was absolutely mangled, but all of the parts were still in there.

      The design, oil-less operation and great air-flow for a 120V machine made the sale for me. The badly torn and water damaged shipping box (fell apart in the store at p/u) - together with considerable damage to the frame and severely crimped air manifold line that I had to replace are the reasons why this product only gets 4 stars. I’m very pleased with its operation and features and highly recommend for the typical homeowner.

      Very quiet ! You can talk with this thing running. Fills very fast and then delivers compressed air at the end of the hose.
