Choose DeWalt Compressors for Durable, Reliable Performance
Ideal for finish carpenters and woodworkers, this trim compressor from DeWalt produces .75 SCFM at 90 PSI, 135 PSI (max) -- delivering high surge performance with quick recovery. But despite its ferocious power output, the D55140 operates at just 69 dB for much quieter operation compared to some other compressors on the market.

The D55140 was designed with a 2.6 amp draw motor to deliver easy start-up and reduced breaker tripping, and it also features a high-flow regulator that provides maximum air pressure to increase the jobsite performance. This model is equipped with an oil-free, long-life pump, allowing for maintenance-free operation. The pump's oil-free design eliminates the need to check or refill the pump, and it also helps keep the jobsite clean by preventing oil from transferring to work surfaces.

Don't be fooled by the small size -- this compressor is rugged enough to take a real beating.

The compact design of this unit is ideal for people who want a sturdy, powerful hand-carry compressor. Weighing just 24 pounds and measuring 9 inches wide, the D55140 is easily transported and stored, so it's ideal for knock-out work -- but the convenience features don't stop there. DeWalt equipped this compressor with a one-hand, universal quick connect for easier operation; and this model was designed with a ball drain valve for quick and thorough tank draining, plus a convenient cord wrap for easy storage.

The efficient and unique design of the D55140 guarantees maximum durability and longevity. DeWalt built this heavy-duty compressor with an innovative roll cage -- a full-protection frame design to shield the unit from routine wear and tear and accidental damage. There's also a wrap-around control panel that covers the frame and provides further protection to the compressor's key components.

Customer Rating: - Quiet. Ergonomic. Powerful enough. Buy it.
This is simply a great compressor for all but the heaviest of jobs.

Noise. The key benefit to this compressor is its quietness. You can actually hold a conversation while it's re-filling. This is like a completely different product from the pancake compressors we'll all endured for years. Everybody who's seen this in operation and then learns that it's just roughly $150 instantly wants one. I don't want to oversell this. It's not whisper quiet--you know it's running--but it is by far the quietest compressor this side of $300. Its low noise level means that you don't even mind that it has to re-fill more often than most of its larger competitors.

Ergonomic. The handle sits on its edge so that when carried the compressor hangs vertically from your hand barely brushing your leg or the wall as you walk up the stairs. Compare this to any of the pancake compressors with a handle in the center of a large disk. In addition, the compressor is also quite light so that you don't even mind having to move it.

Powerful enough. I haven't tried aggressive full-speed framing with this compressor, but I have thrown everything but at it and it shines. As stated above the compressor does have to race to keep up with you if you're really nailing along, but I haven't had it fall behind (drop line pressure) on me yet.

Buy it. You won't regret it.

Customer Rating: - DeWalt Compressor
This DeWalt compressor lives up to the advertisements. It's quiet (compared to my 3.5HP compressor). It's able to handle a trim nailer. And it is easy to set up, transport, and use. Also, the multi-compatible air hose connection is a handy feature. Good job DeWalt!

Customer Rating: - Dewalt trim compressor
The first one I got wouldn't even turn on so reliability could be a concern, but Amazon shipped me a replacement immediately (even prior to me getting the defective one returned) so that was great. The second one has worked fine. It's quiet, small and light....and it works, so I'm a happy camper and it should make a good trim compressor.
