Break-in instructions – SUPER IMPORTANT!! After reading TONS of reviews on various air compressors, I knew I’d buy the Porter-Cable version. I’m a homeowner and am NOT an expert in power tools. But I do enjoy home improvement projects and want to buy the best tools I can afford and take good care of them.That being said, I went out and picked this model up today at Lowe’s for $159. Exactly as advertised and exactly what I need.However, there have been some serious reviews from serious users cautioning of the ABSOLUTE NECESSITY of BREAKING-IN your compressor BEFORE USING IT!! Somehow, if you don’t break it in properly beforehand, you may be literally wrecking your expensive hardware before you even get to use it.EXCEPT THAT THE OWNERS MANUAL THAT CAME WITH MY MODEL C2002 (Type 5 – I found this in very fine print on the labels on the back of the tank) SAID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT “BREAKING-IN.” So I did what some reviewers did and looked for an online manual which can be found at this link:…
Fantastic, small, powerful! I’ve used portable work-site compressors of various types for over 30 years; primarily for pneumatic fasteners and framers. The Porter Cable pancake compressor is, by far, the only one that is truly, comfortably portable, without sharp corners, while at the same time having the PSI and air capacity of six gallons to keep an air-thirsty framer working. I’m amused by the occasional complaints here and at other sites of the Porter Cable not having sufficient power for framing nailers, or that the unit kicks in regularly. Regarding the first commentary, my response is that this compressor has ample capacity to keep two framing nailers busy, PROVIDED THAT the user understands the simple physics in volume air handling. The hose ID is, in actual terms, a secondary stage air tank. The 25 foot x 1/4 inch hose supplied with the compressor is a terrific, light-weight hose and suits the machine’s portability. For blowing up things around the home, and filling tires or delivering air to a…
Nice Features But I Had Problem With Two In a Row I didn’t buy this product through Amazon, but I read the reviews here thoroughly before purchasing at the local big box retailer. When I bought the compressor, in my first use, the “panel” with the pressure gauges and the air connections began to pivot and turn back and forth. I wrote Porter Cable and they said to return to the store, that this was not its intended functionality. I got my money back, and debated what I wanted to do next. The other compressors that I was thinking of were much more expensive. So, I tried to purchase another C2002, this time I happened to do it at big box retailer #2. I had the exact same problem! I tried to connect a hose and the whole panel turned. This is an issue because the way the panel is attached to the compressor is primarily through the air outlet coming up below from the tank. Although it didn’t leak right away, I could imagine what would happen over time and I would just end up having problems. I ended up going back and getting the Dewalt…
