Overview
The PORTER-CABLE PXCM2002 is a corded, 120 volt air compressor with a 6 gallon tank, weighing 31.3 pounds and measuring about 18.5 by 18 by 15 inches, sized as a portable pancake-style unit.
A 6 gallon tank in a roughly 18 inch footprint is a common setup for trim nailing, inflation and light pneumatic tool use around a home shop or job site.
- 6 gallon tank capacity
- 120 volt corded motor
- 31.3 pound weight
- About 18.5 x 18 x 15 inch footprint
Who it's for
Suits homeowners and light contractors running finish nailers, staplers or inflating tools without needing a large shop compressor. Not sized for continuous heavy-duty air tool use, where a bigger tank or higher CFM unit would be needed.
Pros and cons
- 6 gallon tank suits intermittent nailer use
- Compact footprint at about 18 inches
- Portable at 31.3 pounds
- Max PSI and CFM not listed
- Corded, so needs an outlet on site
Performance notes
Tank size governs how long a compressor can supply air before the motor has to catch up, and 6 gallons is enough for intermittent trim nailer or stapler use but will cycle often under continuous tool draw. At 31.3 pounds it stays portable enough to carry between job sites.
