Review: Merry Punktiss Christmas! - Great design, nothing sticks out, plenty light for one arm. I’ve run 15ga and 18ga nailers, a crown stapler and inflated some car tires. Quieter than my 6 gallon, shop compressor is Husky silent and is obviously defeated by Cali air tools. If you’re new to the maker, I’ve had nothing but awesome experiences. I’ve got an ultra quiet 6 gallon as my first and talk about a champ. Still running great and I was treating my machines like a barbarian. Like a child preparing a home for a captured animal. Well intentioned but Jesus Christ what are you thinking. Anyway. If this wasn’t desertcart gift cards I’d have used their website to help them out. Super happy, this is exactly the tiny compressor I should have bought.
Review: Small size, light weight and low noise level. - Wow, I have only used this once so far... To fill car tires low pressure in severe Michigan cold weather. This is a very sweet compressor. I quite appreciate its small size, light weight and low noise level. It is small capacity which I consciously accepted as a trade-off for light weight and low noise.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I've read review reports of debris (metal pellets) in the tank.  Has this been resolved?**
A: I just ordered mine (12/2017) and it came with pellets in the tank.  Returning it as defective for another one at the moment.

**Q: what do I need to buy to be able to use iwata airbrushes**
A: If I remember correctly, iwata airbrushes use 1/8" thread. There are a few ways to resolve this issue:
1. Use a 1/4" male to 1/8" male adapter to replace the universal 1/4″ quick connector. Then you can use your 1/8" hose to connect it.
2. Buy a quick connector plug which with 1/8" thread.
3. If you want to add a water trap, you need to find a 1/4" in and 1/8" out.

**Q: What is the maximum psi for this unit. I need it to go up to 150 psi. Does this unit do that?**
A: 120 psi

**Q: how many inches  tall is this compressor**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light, fast and quiet
*by 5***N on January 21, 2018*

May, I love this thing. I’m 65 this year, so decided to downsize since I no longer need a $400 air compressor taking up real estate on the floor in my garage. And the smaller compressor I had on my storage shelf was obnoxiously loud and about 10 pounds heavier than this one. So I ordered this smaller compressor and gifted the other two to my kids, who were always relying on me to air up their tires. Now they can handle that chore on their own. Before I gave those two away, though, I waited until this compressor arrived to test it out: As promised, it’s very quiet. Two people can carry on a normal conversation standing right in front of it. You won’t need hearing protection. Nice. Sitting in the garage, the 15 gallon DeWalt I gave my son would wake me up in the middle of the night from the other end of the house if I forgot to unplug it. I was afraid it would wake the neighbors and violate some city noise regulation it was so loud. The CA compressor is lighter than my 2 gallon portable compressor, as I would expect.. I no longer have to dread picking it up to carry it to the job location around the house. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the female air socket on the compressor was operable with one hand. Kudos to California Air Tools for adding that. The fit and finish are more than satisfactory. I could find nothing to complain about. I comes with the plastic air filter detached. So I installed that, plugged it in and the compressor quickly and quietly charged right up. I tested my small air nailers, up to the 18 gage unit. You shoot two or three nails and it kicks on for a few seconds, but you should expect that with a 1 gallon compressor. For a homeowner doing small jobs around the house, I would think this would work out just fine. It even runs my small palm nailer, which I use a lot for nailing jobs where it’s difficult to swing a hammer. It this continues to operate as it did today, I have no problem rating it 5 stars. Best compressor I’ve ever owned for its size.
