Dont let its small stature fool you. The Bostitch CAP1512-OF compressor is built for performance and portability. The high-output oil-free pump delivers 2.8 CFM at 90 PSI and 150 PSI max operating pressure for multiple finish tool operations. This compact unit offers a 1.5 HP (running) motor that draws 12 amps for easy start up without tripping circuit breakers. The 1.2 gallon compact design weighs only 23.5 lbs. for easy portability. An integrated control panel and a roll cage protect gauges from jobsite damage. Convenient storage pocket, onboard tool and hose storage plus a built-in cord wrap make this compact compressor perfect for transporting from the shop to the project.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Comparison to popular Porter Cable pancake compressor
Here are a few measurements comparing this Bostitch to the Porter Cable 6 gallon pancake compressor it's replacing:
Bostitch / Porter Cable
Time to charge: 0:47 (@150 psi) / 2:31 (@135 psi)
Decibels @ 3ft: 90 dB / 92 dB
Weight: 26.8 lbs / 33.8 lbs
Air blower @ 90 psi (time before pressure falls below 90 psi): 9 seconds / 11 seconds
Pressure after 1 minute of air blower: 35 psi / 50 psi
Equilibrium pressure leaving air blower open: 35 psi after 30 seconds / 35 psi after 2 minutes
The Bostitch is faster to charge, quieter, and lighter. Both motors produce about the same amount of compressed air.
The smaller tank on the Bostitch provides slightly less air, but the fast recovery mostly offsets this concern.
The Bostitch earns five stars from me.

Perfect for my needs
I use a compressor for brad and finish nailing, inflating tires, and blowing sawdust off my tools (I also energize some effects at a haunted house at Halloween, but that's another story). One of my main uses is to trim out sets at a local community theater, so easy portability is a must. This compressor fits the bill perfectly.
The 1.2 gallon tank is small, but the fact that it goes to 150 PSI means it performs like a larger tank, and it also means that 100 PSI tools will always be operating at full pressure. Also, the pump is fast and fairly quiet as these things go. It takes 45 seconds to charge from 0 to 150 PSI. The pump cuts back in 125 PSI and takes 10 seconds to charge back up. This is enough to get about 5 shots out of my 16 gauge finish nailer, and of course I could get at least twice that before the tool actually lost pressure. I don't have a framing nailer, but I'd guess you'd get about half that, so it would work in a pinch, but you wouldn't use it for...
Great little trim compressor
I purchased the Bostitch CAP1512 compressor due to its light weight and compact size. I wanted an alternative to my 70 lb. Dewalt/Emglo (which works perfectly, but without wheels is too cumbersome to carry around). The Bostitch worked right out of the box. It was easy to set up and use. I used it to with my brad nailer to install the shoe moulding in my recently remodeled kitchen and it worked flawlessly.
Likes: compact size, portability, on/off switch, air pressure, price, control panel, ease of use
Dislikes: none noted
I am satisfied with the compressor and would reccommend it to others who are in the market for a compact compressor.
