RYOBI AIR COMPRESSOR PORTABLE

If you expect it to replace even a 5 gallon class pancake for every single thing, or refill as fast or as infrequently as a one of those, your expectations are too high. Being used to the 2 gallon DeWalt inside, it wasn’t hard to set reasonable expectations for a 1 gallon. because they’re hybrid (except the shop vac), and a good number of batteries.Įven only having it for a short time, it’s been pretty good. I figured the ryobi would be a good fit in the garage, since I already have several ryobi items out there, the shop vac, fan, lights, etc. Even being fairly light comparatively, lugging the flexvolt one back and forth is annoying. If I need to get some dirt or whatever out of tight spaces, or use a nailer that I don’t have in a cordless version out there on a project, I have to fire up the pancake. But while great for tires, the high volume hose on it only goes so far being used like a blowgun. I usually use the ryobi dual inflator for filling up car tires out there, which got more convenient when I pulled it out of the car trunk to keep the M12 one in there instead. I have a porter cable 6 gallon pancake in a detached garage, but have to be careful using it since it likes to trip the breaker for that garage building if someone else opens their garage door. I may be a little nuts, but I have both the flexvolt one, and I picked up this Ryobi a few weeks ago when I saw it in Home Depot. The Ridgid, also a 1 gallon cordless compressor, is a great performer when paired with smaller air nailers, and so I’d expect the same from this one. Meaning, don’t expect it to run a 1/2″ impact wrench. One thing to keep in mind is that it is a 1 gallon compressor. If it performs as well as it looks on paper, it’ll be a great home workshop addition for Ryobi 18V One+ users. If you ask me, this has the potential to be a winner. In this image you can also see the quarter-turn drain valve.
