2.5 Gal. 140 psi Portable 20V Cordless Air Compressor with FLEXVOLT Advantage (Tool Only)

I purchased one the Dewalt DCC2520 20/60volt cordless air compressors, and all I can say is winner, winner chicken dinner! I installed a 5 Amp hour 20v battery in, took less than 2 minutes to charge to 125psi. Opened drain valve slightly, kicked on at about 100 psi and in seconds, back up to 125psi. I turned the on off switch to off, in 24 hours, still exactly at 125psi. No leaks nothing.

Great pump that doesn't require a cord. Not a bad price if you already have a battery. Worked great for our pop bottle rocket launcher. Although my 7 year old called me a cheater and insists on using the bike pump. I received this My Review for DEWALT 2.5 Gal. 140 psi Portable 20-Volt Cordless Air Compressor with Flexvolt for free to write this review.

I've been waiting for a compressor like this. I don't have a lot of storage room. I don't have a framing nailer or other high air consumption tool. My needs are simple. Mostly I use a brad/staple nailer. I sometimes install flooring, and this is perfect to fasten shoe molding. Other times, I build hobby projects like small cabinets or bookshelves. Perfect again. The tool is simple. Since the tank is so small, there's only one air outlet. That's fine. Pressure regulation is also simplified since there is only one outlet. The auto-on and off switch is covered to help avoid it getting gummed up with dust or a little moisture. The air drain bleed off valve is visible and only requires a quarter turn. This is much better than other pancakes I've used where you can't find the valve and forget it is open or forget to open it. All this is in a very compact, super light weight package. That's important to me as I can't lift a lot, and I don't have much storage room. I am using my very old (over 7 years!) 1.5 amp battery. It barely works, but that's not a fault of the tool. If anything, it is impressive that an tiny, old, weak battery can power a tool like this. It is time for me to consider getting a 5aH battery. Overall, I'm very happy with this product and recommend it for the light duty user. Made in USA of some foreign components

This is the first battery operated air compressor I have used. I was suprised just how good it works. I like starting my review's with information and features about the product and then get into my personal experience. This Dewalt DCC2520 is very portable wieghing in at only 21.5 lbs and and small 2.5 gallon tank. It stands 15.5" tall, 12.5" wide, and 14" in length. Approximate cut-in pressure is 100 PSI. This is a Dewalt flex volt advantage product which enables you to us 20v or 60v. The approximate cut-out pressure for 20v is 125 PSI and 60V 140 PSI. SCFM (Standar Cubic Feet Per Minute) is 90 PSI. It was quieter then I expected with a noise level of 80 DBA. It's got a time delay fuse. The compressor is equipped with a dial regulator. The approximate regulated pressure rating is 20v 0-120 PSI and for the 60v 0-140 PSI. It has a 1/4 inch quick connect and oiless pump. The power switch is covered by a rubber seal to keep dust and water out. On the rear base it has a pressure release valve. The best thing about this compressor is that it is cordless. I put it side by side with a 6 gallon Bostich so you can get an idea of how small it is. I shot a few brad nails at different PSI into some pretty hard wood. At 90 PSI it did alright. But I found 100 PSI was the sweet spet. At 120 PSI it sunk deeper then it needed to. I will add a photo of the result. I also inflated a few sports balls, car, truck, and wheel barrow tires. I attached a plow nozzle on this to clean a basement floow and it really blew well. This little thing blew me away. I was using a 5Hh 20v battery. It performaned so good I can't wait to see what the 60v can do. I was very impressed with this thing. I still want to try out the Ryobi 18v compressor because I have alot more Ryobi batteries then I do Dewalt. It was really nice being able to go outside away from a power outlet and use this tool. No running extension cords and no lugging around a big heavy compressor. There are a ton of different uses for this tool. It is definitely a tool for a home owner to have. I don't think this is a tool contractors will be going to for big jobs but its great for doing stuff around the house. Being battery powered you can bring it anywhere. Weather you want to run some Pneumatic tools or put air into something this is great. Bring it camping for air matresses, bring it to the lake to fill tubes, leave it in your car to fill your tires, etc... I don't have electricity in my shed so I really enjoy having bettery powered tools. If you are in need of a portable compressor this is a great option. I was blown away at the performance.

This air compressor weighs in at 22 lbs. so it is quite portable. The regulator sort of works. I set it for 30 psiand it delivered 35 psi. This would be a great thing to have if you like to go camping or are and outdoor wheeled enthusiast. I used it on my bikes, wheelbarrow and will probably use it on my cars during the winter when the air pressure always seems to be low and it is a hassle trying to find a place to fill up the tires. Instructions should be simpler a one page quick start would be great instead of the tern pages of warnings. You need to purchase the battery and charger separately along with hose and attachments.

This 2.5 gallon DeWalt cordless air compressor is really well-designed with features that make it very useable in areas where you do not have commercial power handy. Thanks to having other DeWalt tools, I had a ready supply of batteries and chargers to use with this air compressor (this does not come with a battery and charger). The good design starts out with the on/off switch which will not be inadvertently activated because it is recessed under a lip on the top of the compressor (see picture). Additionally, because DeWalt understood this would be used outside in all kinds of weather, the switch is water-tight with a nice, flexible rubberized plastic cover. The pressure gauge and controls are good-sized and easy to read (see picture). Even the tank drain is well-marked and easy to reach and turn (see picture). The carrying handles are a continuous around the top in a loop and extend to the bottom of the unit so you can both carry and set this anywhere! The printed instruction manual is well-prepared and has a great pictorial diagram of all of the features (see picture). I highly recommend this portable air compressor due to its great features!

I am on the Dewalt platform and have been for over 15 years. Purchased this compressor and put a freshly charged 60v 9 ah. Battery in and it immediately was leaking from the check valve that goes into the back of the tank. Compressor will not hold air constantly. Extremely disappointed as this appears to be a very common problem with this model and Dewalt has not fixed the problem. Seems like it is a very simple fix. Ball has been dropped and it is a big let down as the quality has decreased.

It has problems maintaining pressure, it seems that a valve is stuck, I need to replace it.
