Well-made & portable but LOTS OF WATER!
UPDATE 8/6/2010: After frustration with the constant water problem, I have modified the tank plumbing to stop the vapor/droplet problem... I have now plumbed the compressor outlet to the bottom drain and the header is still fed by the air outlet alone. This is now putting the water vapor into the tank. It cost about $15 in plumbing parts, but at least when I use it to blow dust out of computers it is not spitting water into the electronics anymore...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Right to the point: This compressor, due to the way it is plumbed, produces A LOT of WATER that goes directly into the header, then into your expensive nailers...
Only workaround, without buying and rigging a water filter, is to tilt the compressor so that the header inlet is at a downward pitch and the outlets are at the top of the pitch. But add higher volume (framing nailer) and you will get water droplets/vapor no matter what position the...

Pro Finish Carpenter
This is a great compressor for what it is designed for which is finish carpentry. I really like the lower noise factor in the oilless design. My only dislike is they did not build this compressor with the intent to be able to attach a water vapor trap to prolong the life of pneumatic nail guns. I was able to put one on with some creative thinking and reconfiguration of the air flow which cost me my time and an extra 40 dollars. Aside from from the one dislikable aspect of the design this is still a great compressor.
Not recommended...
(This compressor was refurbished when I bought it through Amazon) I typically am satisfied with Dewalt products and almost every cordless tool or saw I have are theirs. I feel like this compressor is one step above something from Harbor Freight. When I first got it it ran for the break-in period then wouldn't turn on. Got something electrical fixed by the nearest service center. Then after a few months of very light use it started leaking from somewhere around the piston. There's a metal tube that has a poor seal to the piston head. I took it apart and everything is cheaply made. So now it will fill to 130psi, and hiss like crazy for 5 minutes going back down to 0. I wanted quiet and light, but I'm thinking I'd rather lug around 50-60 lbs than a light weight piece of junk. *EDIT* After taking the compressor apart myself I found a check valve that was corroded and leaked. I ordered another one for $12 and installed it myself. By the way, the unit was missing several screws...
