Anyone have any opinions on rol-air hotdog portable compressors? Any good? Are they durable? etc. I’m used to porter-cable, makita, hitachi. Never seen/worked with Rol-air. Need to get a new compressor, and this is what my local outfit carries now.
Any help is appreciated.

green or orange ones are very very durable...
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!

if a man speaks in the forest,and there's not a woman to hear him,is he still wrong?
i have 2 rol-air compressors--one slightly larger pancake-and one single hotdog tank, 3/4 horse.
love them both
they are ever so slightly louder than i like--wouldn't use 'em inside
and they do not like the cold--in the winter i transport them inside the truck cab with the heater blowing on them.---get em't started all the way bled down/valve open-let em run 5 minutes before you bring em up to pressure in the cold
from now untill Oct. they will work flawlessly without even THAt babying.
I would buy one again without the slightest hesitation.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I guess it sounds like a good buy.One quick question -- I do most of my work inside with finish nailers. Is there a portable, light-weight (relatively speaking) and (relatively) quite compressor folks might recommend?The old Porter Cable pancake I've been using is nasty, so I'm sure the rol-air would be better, but I'd go for something even quieter if it exists.
You must not be paying attention to the threads here... Huge discussion on portable quiet trim compressors as we speak.JT
