          Q:Can it be used to spray paint small jobs like a garage door?

          Answer This Question

          A:  I have not used it with a spray gun. However I don't think it can sustain the air volume but maybe with a low pressure paint gun it might work.

            A:  Not really. I don't know what kind of paint gun you have but the CFM output is pretty low, around 1.5 CFM

                    A:  If this will or not work with a particular tool would be a question for the manufacturer of the tool. This item should be capable of providing 125 psi of compressed air with a 1/4" line. Check with the manufacturer of the nailer for operating requirements.

                        A:  I've used this with both my Porter Cable 15 ga finish nailer as well as a few different 18 ga brad nailers. It's a strong little compressor and I love it being that the weight is half that of the standard pancake compressors that are on the market. It may cycle more frequently of course, but I have nothing bad to say about it. Senco is a great name in the air tool market also.

                            A:  I believe it's around 69-70 decibels. It is VERY quiet compared to my old Craftsman Compressor 921.1521. My father has tinnitus and he says it is much better than the Craftsman.

                                        A:  Does not come with a hose or inflator gun, you have to buy them separately. However, the connection from the tank is a quick-connect one, although you can remove it, if you want to hook up a normal connection.
