Overview
Six gallons of tank capacity anchor the DEWALT DWFP55126, a corded 120 volt air compressor measuring 16 by 16 by 17.5 inches and weighing 30 pounds. Its pancake shaped tank suits portable jobsite use.
DEWALT positions this compressor for trim and finish nailing rather than heavy framing, and the 6 gallon tank strikes a balance between run time and portability. At 30 pounds it can be carried by hand between work areas, though it still needs a wall outlet since there is no battery option. No PSI or CFM figures are given, so pair it with tools rated for a standard pancake compressor's output.
- 6 gallon tank capacity
- 120 volt corded electric power
- 30 pound item weight
- 16 by 16 by 17.5 inch dimensions
Who it's for
Works for tradespeople and DIYers running finish nailers or staplers from a single power outlet. Less suited to anyone needing cordless portability or confirmed high volume air for larger tools.
Pros and cons
- 6 gallon tank for intermittent finish work
- Portable at 30 pounds
- Compact pancake footprint at 16 by 16 inches
- Corded only, no cordless operation
- PSI and CFM output not listed
Performance notes
The 6 gallon pancake tank stores enough air for intermittent nailing without constant motor cycling, and the flat base keeps it stable on a jobsite floor. Running on 120 volt corded power means it needs to stay within reach of an outlet, and the listing does not specify PSI or CFM output for matching it to specific tools.
