Works For Me
By Scott M.

Review Posted 08/17/2021 
Quiet and light, not big capacity but that is what I expected. I install cabinets for a living and use air sporadically. If I need a more steady supply of air I use a larger compressor. For my everyday needs this tool is pretty sweet.

Review Posted 10/22/2019 
I've been using ROLAIR compressors for over 20 years. Matter of fact, I haven’t had to replace one in that time frame. My first one was a hand me down from my father... yes..the one I just said I haven’t had to replace over the duration of 20 years. And these units are made right here in Wisconsin.

My recent purchase of the AB5PLUS was because I wanted something super, super lightweight and QUIET for lugging around in and out of job sites. And it's also perfect for airbrushing in the basement. Once that little tank fills up with air (and quite quickly) I can airbrush for a long time. Also tested it with my nail guns. Simply turn the dial to the right PSI and she drives nails! Just make sure to drain the tank every day when your done using.. as it states in the owner's manual. The little release valve is located perfectly, right upfront. It's impossible to forget.
