Excellent Compressor January 10, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I was looking for an American made compressor. Thomas compressors are American made and are truely well built. I looked at the other Thomas compressors, but decided to get the double compressor instead. It was the best choice I could have made. It works excellent, using nail guns and I also spray with a Sata HVLP, using another small compressor pumping air into a manifold. I would high recommend this compressor above all others.

I have used this compressor for about 9 months now and it works very well. I have made a few modifications to it though - I used brass nipple elbows to move the one air cleaner closer to the interior of the unit as it sticks out and is likely to be broken off, 2) I installed a ball valve for the tank drain since the threaded petcocks never last and are tough to use. It does have a fast recovery and the tank will hold compressed air for weeks without leaking. It is a bit heavy. Worth the price.

I am a builder. We use these compressors everyday. I bought them initially becasue they will not blow a 15a circuit on an extention cord.
We came to like the low weight (lighter than any of our single cylinder compressors) and the fact that it is quieter than out pancake compressors.
I have bought 3 in 2 years and they have performed flawless.
 The Cadillac of portable air compressors September 25, 2006

My new Thomas compressor, T-2820ST, is quiet enough to run in the house and is so well balanced that it is not too heavy to move around. Oiless, 5cfm @100psi, 100% duty cycle, 9 second come-back with capacitor-aided start(i.e. 12 ga. extension cords can be used); this is the Cadillac of portable compressors. The paint job on the tanks could be better and air fittings could be included, but those are minor issues. The overall machine is well-built and runs very smoothly. Proudly made in Wisconsin.

After getting off to a bad start...the first one was damaged in shipping...this is a great compressor. I run all 3/8 inch hoses, megaflow couplers and installed a triple outlet manifold on it. Everything operates without skipping a beat. And always on 15 amp household outlets without ever popping a breaker. I've used it for air guns, various types of light and heavy duty nail guns, and shop tools. Haven't tried it for spray painting yet, but Capspray uses it for their best HVLP sprayer setup, so that should work fine also. Very quiet compared to other compressors of the same size, but compressors will never be mistaken for a 'silent' partner. Excellent recovery time. Only con is that it's on the heavy side. Highly recommended.
