Makita Air Compressors

It is my impression that Makita air compressors have a good reputation by the many people that post positively about this brand. It is also my feeling that Makita air compressors exist as an accessory to the Makita broad range of contractor and DIY tools, some of which require compressed air to run. Doesn’t make them a bad compressor, and may, based on Makita’s desire for a positive rep, a good thing.

The feeling may be that it makes sense to sell the power source as well as the tool, a philosophy underscored by their long history in battery powered contractor hand tools.

The Makita air compressor model AC310

While not necessarily an afterthought, Makita air compressors are here because they are to supply air to their air tools. Therefore, the range of compressors offered by Makita is small.

All four of the U.S. Makita air compressors, from smallest to largest – the AC310, MAC 700. MAC2400, MAC 5200 – are portable, and meant for use on the job site.

The Makita air compressor model AC310 requires additional comment, though. According to Makita, this air compressor delivers 400 PSI air pressure. Since the intended use of this air compressor is to drive Makita nailers, having 400 PSI available to help drive tough nails on the job site can only be a boon to the user.

Older Makita MAC 2000 contractor’s compressor. 120 volt. Starts and runs fine, builds up pressure okay, shuts off @ correct pressure… but frequently, while I’m outside using the blowgun, for example, with the compressor running inside the shop, I’ll notice the pressure dropping off, and when I go in to check it, it’s no longer turning and the motor is stalled and humming. If I don’t get to it quickly enough, it trips the breaker. Doesn’t seem to follow any pattern… doesn’t matter what tool is being used, sometimes this happens quickly, sometimes it takes a little while (5-10 minutes.)… Read more »
