Metabo HPT Quiet Air Compressor | 125 PSI | 1 Gallon | EC28M

This compressor makes your life so much easier for you without having to deal with the earth shattering rumble of a normal pancake compressor when you’re trimming out inside of an occupied house for a multiunit building. Only had a short time so cannot speak for durability, but seems far better built than any junk he will buy them from Harbor freight, etc. Worth every cent.

I have used this compressor for close to two years. I am a finish carpenter so it gets used about 5 days a week. It is super quiet, is fine for one gun, fast fill time. I can not find any complaints and would suggest buying it if you are considering it.

Every positive review you read of this compressor is right on. Based on those good reviews I felt comfortable buying this air compressor. Because I was doing some framing with dimensional lumber, I decided to try this little thing for the fun of it. I coupled it with a short hose to my metabo auxiliary tank that I already had, the one Ive included a picture of. I found that with the extra pressure maintenance of the extra tank, this little compressor will keep up with framing as long as youre not doing rapid production jobsite framing of entire walls. We were doing a roof overhang makeover that required a fair amount of figuring, cutting, aligning, etc between nail shots, so we werent pushing the air needs to an extreme. I have another large 220V compressor that will keep up with all but heavy air use associated with complete repaint coat of a vehicle. This little compressor will be handy for many remote applications, especially if you have a quality auxiliary tank. FWIW, I filled the tank with the other compressor so I started out with a full tank that I hooked the little Metabo to, then started the framing work. So the little Metabo didnt have to work to fill up the tank from the very beginning. No overheating or circuit breaker tripping at all, so very pleased with the results. This is a good little compressor. Youll like it!

Best single garage tool I have even bought. Great quality, great design, and quiet. Charges quickly. Glad I selected this one instead of another!

worked fine for 5 months then started making a cluniking/sputtering noise (loudly!)

I needed a small compressor for interior trim etc. And until now I have used a long retractable reel and compressor mounted in my van. It’s always weird to drag a hose through and door/window which has its own annoyances. Also hate dragging the bigger compressor around for small jobs or finish carpentry. This unit is so light and unbelievably quiet! When I turned on I was blown away. I wished it had higher regulated pressure but so far it’s been great for pins/brads/finish nails. It even drives 2.5” coil nails, but you have to let the motor catch up so you can’t rapid fire. For a remodel it may shoot a few framing nails too, but within reason and one might have to hammer the nail right.

After trying several “quiet” air compressors, I’m happy to say I’ve finally found one that’s actually quiet. It does the job. I use it mostly for cleaning out sawdust from my machines. I do wish it had a better sustained airflow, though. It seems to trail off a bit after the initial blast of air. I had trouble getting a 1/4” hose attached to the unit. After several attempts, I decided to try with the tank empty. Once fully drained, it took the the connection no problem.

Sooooo quiet. Low capacity but perfect for what I needed for light home use. Great buy

If you want quiet this is it, Im going to get a second one, I think you can make a quieter setup for at home with 2 of these little guys than one bigger one
