DEWALT DCC2560T1 FLEXVOLT 60V MAX Cordless Air Compressor Kit Review
“Ridgid was first to come out with a cordless compressor and I jumped right on it. I wanted DeWalt (as most all my batteries are DeWalt), but had no idea if or how long it would be for their version. But to be honest, I was happy with Ridgid. It worked very well, but I only had the two ridgid batteries and didn’t have time to wait around for them to charge. To my surprise, DeWalt came out with their compressor almost immediately, so I switched over. So far I’ve been very pleased with it (more so than Ridgid’s). The regulator to adjust air pressure is the best I’ve seen on any compressor. You just set the dial to the pressure you want and that’s it… The weight seems to be slightly more than Ridgid’s, but Ridgid came with a 1 gallon tank vs. DeWalt’s 2.5 gallon tank… ” Click here for more DEWALT DCC2560T1 Reviews like this…
