The air the workshop runs on · review
A two-gallon oil-free portable whose listing is a single bullet — the accessory list — with no air delivery figure anywhere on the page.
Where we come out A tire-and-blow-gun compressor with a good accessory kit and no published air delivery at all — the one figure this hub says to buy on.
This hub’s buying tip is a single instruction: compare the air delivered at working pressure, not the displacement, because delivery is what reaches the tool and is commonly a third lower than what the pump sweeps. This listing publishes neither.
What it publishes is one bullet, and that bullet is the accessory list: a hose, thread seal tape, a ball-foot air chuck, two auto plugs, a coupler, a tire gauge, a nozzle, a blow gun and a sleeve. Ten items, which for someone who owns no air fittings at all is a genuine convenience. The rest of what is known comes from the title: two gallons, one third of a horsepower, 125 PSI maximum, oil-free.
That is enough to say what it is for. Two gallons of storage and a third of a horsepower will inflate tires, blow a bench down, drive a brad nailer and run a small staple gun — tools that draw air in bursts. It will not run a die grinder, a plasma torch or a blast cabinet, all of which draw continuously and all of which appear on this site. Nothing on the page says that either way, because nothing on the page says how much air there is.

Things that use air in bursts. A tire inflator, a blow gun, a brad nailer, a small staple gun — tools that draw for a second and then stop while the pump catches up. What it cannot run is anything continuous: a die grinder uses perhaps 4 to 6 CFM without pause, a plasma torch 3 to 5, a blast cabinet more. With a 2-gallon tank the pump would never stop, which is how a small compressor dies.
Because it is the only number that tells you what the machine will run, and this hub’s buying tip is about it specifically: compare liters per minute delivered at 6 bar, not displacement, because delivery is commonly 30 to 40 per cent lower than what the pump sweeps. Three of the four compressors in the American half of this shelf publish a delivery figure at a stated pressure. This one publishes neither a delivery nor a displacement — only the maximum pressure, which tells you nothing about volume.
Same shelf, nearest price — what else that money puts on the bench.

Tires, blowing down a workbench and a staple gun — not for any air tool that runs continuously

6 gal · 1.0 HP · 150 PSI max · 2.6 SCFM at 90 PSI · 30.8 lb
