Tools and Hardware Reviews of Thomas Compressors T-617HDN 4 Amp 1/2 Horsepower 2 Gallon Oil-Free Hot Dog Compressor
Customer Review: Quieter, lightweight, but pricey
Summary: 4 Stars
I needed a compressor to use with a finish nailer and wanted something quite portable and not too deafening when used indoors. I was also hoping for an oil-free model. This Thomas fit the bill and has performed flawlessly for several months. With the handle installed as shown it can easily be carried and moved with one hand but still gives plenty of air for a single 16 gauge finish nailer.
While all compressors are loud, especially indoors, this one may be the least noisy available at 60 dB. A note of caution, though: Much of the online documentation from Thomas regarding the dB ratings of their smaller compressors is inconsistent and incorrect. According to Kathleen with Gardner Denver, the manufacturer, "The T-617HDN is 60 dba and the T-635HD and T-635HT is 75 dba." Decibel ratings are on a log scale so 75 dB is over 30 times louder than 60 dB.
The pressure switch keeps the tank between 100 and 125 psi. There is a gauge but no regulator, so if you are going to be using a tool that requires a max pressure below 125 you will need to go to a home center and pick up an inexpensive pressure regulator. You will also need to get an air hose if you don't have one and a handful of quick-connect air fittings and some teflon tape.
Thomas has an excellent reputation for quality and durability. So far this compressor is everything it claims but I'm taking off one star for the painfully high price and the fact that no regulator was included.
