Compressors are workhorse tools on the job site and in the work shop. Makita Air Compressors are favorites for their faster recovery time, lower noise, longer tool life, and consistent performance. The Makita ½ HP 1 Gallon Compact, Oil-Free, Electric Air Compressor (MAC100Q) features a Quiet Series Design, combining strong performance with lower noise. At only 58 dBA, it’s ideal for indoor use during case and base installation, trim and finish carpentry, cabinet or furniture making, and more. The MAC100Q runs at a lower RPM, resulting in longer motor and pump life. It is powered by an efficient 1/2 horsepower induction motor that provides up to 135 PSI. It also features a lightweight design (only 25. 5 lbs. ) for increased portability. The roll-cage construction provides added protection for the pump and motor assembly during transportation, in storage, and on the job site. Additional features include a low AMP draw that reduces the incidents of tripped breakers at start-up, as well as an oil-free dual-piston pump designed for maintenance-free operation.
