CRAFTSMAN Wall Mount Air Compressor with 30 ft Hose

Overview

This Craftsman compressor runs on corded electric power, holds a 0.5 gallon tank and weighs about 24.6 pounds, putting it in the compact pancake-style class built for quick inflation jobs rather than continuous air tool use.

A half-gallon tank refills fast but also depletes fast, so the motor cycles on frequently once you connect a tool that draws air continuously. That tradeoff is normal for compressors this size and suits inflation and short bursts of pneumatic work better than sustained nailing or sanding.

• Corded electric power source
• 0.5 gallon tank capacity
• About 24.6 pounds
• Craftsman brand

Who it's for

Fits homeowners and DIYers who need a corded compressor for tires, sports balls and occasional trim nailer use. Not sized for a job site running a framing nailer all day.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

With a 0.5 gallon tank, the motor tops off air quickly but also kicks back on sooner once a connected tool starts drawing from it, so expect more frequent motor cycling than a larger tank would need. Being corded, it also needs a wall outlet rather than running on battery power.
