Has anyone had trouble with the compressor that keeps going at 40 psi and no further?

No - mine goes up to 90-100 psi and holds a full tank without losing pressure for days/weeks.

Mine goes all the way to 149 and cuts off...That's right where it is supposed to be.Sorry, no problems with mine.

I had a small compressor that I bought at Lowes. not big enough. I have now upgraded to a two stage compressor that does the trick. I was just using too many things at once on the old compressor. I think if I had nothing else hooked up to it I would have been fine.

My little compressor doesn't go above 30 psi and that wasn't quite strong enough for my purposes. It worked, but took a really long time. I bought a larger air compressor, but couldn't connect it to the airbrush. I guess the air requirements really depend upon what you are using it for. Hope this helps.

I was only concerned with my compressors. I have had compressors go out on me and are very expensive. I have never had a problem with air handler.

When I use mine, I let it come up to pressure and it stops itself somewhat over 120psi at the tank. I have the output side of the regulator set to about 50 psi for filling tires on vehicles. Part way through filling up a tire the compressor will turn on again to bring the tank up to pressure again. If you are expecting the compressor to turn off at what you have set the regulator to, that is now how it works. The compressor will always fill the tank with its "normal" operating pressure and the regulator outputs the selected pressure.

No- I have the equivalent to 33's and the compressor overheated when I was topping off my 4 tires to 60 PSI.

I had to replace the compressor. If you have a leak it will continue to pump until it wears out.

The compressor has worked well with the pneumatic tools. I found it on sale later at Lowes.

unable to identify possible problem without specifics, had no problem with gage, only with compressor unable to pump.

Mine has a very quiet but high pitched whine when the compressor is on. But nobody else seems to have this problem, so either my freezer is unique in this or I'm way oversensitive to noise.

I have not used the Compressor to run any tool so far. The specs are athttp://www.portercable.com/products/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=23677It may not have the continuous delivery for a 3 psi tool.Have you talked to anyone at Porter Cable?

2 gallon compressors are not meant to run air tools. You might be able to take a lug nut or two off. Then wait for it to build up pressure but you might as well use hand tools if your going to do that

I bought the compressor about 8 months ago and use it about once a week, it is very important to keep it perfectly level, which is no problem for me. So far I am very happy with it , works great and not sorry I bought it. I use it mostly for blowing dirt out of various things and parts, I use Rolair synthetic motor oil due to limited use and a very cold environment.

I had that problem with the first unit I received. It may just need a little more time to get to the set temperature and then stop blinking, But, if it doesn't work correctly after several hours of running, there is a problem with the compressor (possibly damaged in shipping). Call Amazon, they will ship a new one to you for free (as long as you send the damaged one back). Save the packaging materials from the second unit (if you threw away the packing materials from the first one) so you can send back the first unit. Shipping is free, you just have to lug an 80 pound package to the UPS place. Be sure and get a receipt with a tracking number so that you can track the return shipping and see when it arrived back at Amazon. Hope this helps.

I am thinking my husband used his compressor. We have only used it once so far.

I had the same problem. You don't need to press it to hard to the surface or maybe your air compressor is up to high. Hope this helps�
