6 gal. Porter Cable compressor--any good?

   / 6 gal. Porter Cable compressor--any good? #11  
I have one of those that I bought at Lowes. I like it, it's been good. I think I have had it about 3 years and have used it on jobs with framing, roofing and finish nailers, sometimes running 2 roofing nailers. It pumps up slow but since it runs at a higher tank pressure (150 as opposed to 120) than some other portables it keeps up fine. It's light and easy to carry which is why I bought it. My other portable is a gut buster. It should be fine for what you are doing, ask them what they used it for. If it was just homeowner use it should last a long time.

Good little machine for light duty work, mine broke when I accidently :ashamed:threw my hockey bag over it and broke the regulator unit right flush at the tank.
Tried to fix it, but it leaks, still work though.
You can find parts for them on the net.
