Overview
A 230 volt power requirement sets the Bostitch BXCM02012-WPK apart from most US household compressors, paired here with a 6 gallon tank and a 29 pound frame.
The 230 volt spec stands out since most household outlets in the US run on 120 volts, so this unit likely needs a dedicated 230 volt circuit or is intended for a market where that voltage is standard. Bostitch builds this into its air tool lineup alongside the nailers and staplers a compressor like this is meant to run.
- 6 gallon air tank capacity
- 230 volt corded electric power source
- 29 pound weight
Who it's for
Fits shops or garages already wired for 230 volt power, or buyers outside the standard US 120 volt household setup. Not a drop-in fit for a typical home outlet without checking the electrical setup first.
Pros and cons
- 6 gallon tank for portable, intermittent use
- Corded electric power avoids gas engine maintenance
- 230 volt requirement is not standard US household voltage
- 29 pounds makes it less portable than smaller units
Performance notes
The 6 gallon tank sits at the smaller end for a corded compressor, suited to intermittent tool use rather than continuous heavy demand. Running on 230 volts rather than the more common 120 volts means it draws its power differently than most US home shop compressors.
