Overview
California's CAT-1P1060S is a corded electric air compressor built around a 1 gallon tank and 110 volt motor. At 29 pounds it is portable but not featherweight, and it carries a 4.5 star rating across 2,657 reviews with roughly 200 units bought in the past month.
California Air Tools built its name on quieter shop compressors than the typical pancake unit, and this model's numbers, a small 1 gallon tank paired with a 29 pound body, fit that smaller-footprint approach rather than a job site workhorse meant to run nail guns all day.

- 110 volt corded electric
- 29 pounds
- 4.5 stars from 2,657 ratings
Who it's for
Fits a homeowner or hobbyist running the occasional finish nailer, stapler or inflation task in a garage or small shop. Contractors needing sustained high-volume air for framing nailers or long spray sessions will outgrow the 1 gallon tank quickly.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Compact 1 gallon tank recovers fast between uses
- Runs on standard 110 volt household power
- Strong 4.5 star rating across a large review base
- Small tank limits continuous-draw tools
- 29 pounds is heavier than the tank size suggests
- Corded design ties it to an outlet
Performance notes
A 1 gallon tank recovers quickly but also drains quickly under continuous draw, so it suits start-stop tasks like brad nailing or topping off a tire rather than tools that pull air steadily. The 110 volt corded motor needs a standard outlet and stays put during use.
