how much PSI i need to operate this tool ? will it work with small compressor of 150 PSI ?

I have used this Porter Cable pin nailer with psi below 100. (Range is 70 psi min. & 100 psi max) I have driven 1/2", 3/4" & 1" pins at 80 psi. It is a wonderful tool and I reccommend it highly.

Although I very rarely use this piece of equipment these days, I am pleased that I have it when I do need it.And as I have a large compressor and have to reduce the output, it enables me to use a good range of tools.The range needed to run it effectively is between 60 and 100 PSI, as per specs:Oh, and by the way it is quite difficult to find places within Australia that can supply the pins needed for this gun.

I run mine At 90 psi or less. A small compressor is perfect for this nailer. The pin nails are small and hold well. I use it for finish work on small items and to hold items when I am gluing.

Yes, I have a 2 gallon compressor by sears and this gun works flawlessly with it.

a small compressor work just fine I set at 80 psi to set a 5/8 pin in 1/2 oak. and 90 for 3/4 inch in oak....

I should work fine. I have a small Porter-Cable 2 gallon "pancake" compressor and it powers the nailer without any problems.

I used a Kobalt 10 gallon compressor with a tank pressure of 155 lbs and set the line pressure from 85 to 92 lbs. and it worked just great. Compressor was not overworked, and nails were driven through various dimensions of lumber.

DONT BUY IT it is a pos! no size compressor (we have up to an industrial 10hp with a 400 gal tank) works with mine and half the time won't even turn with up to 150 psi DONT BUY IT waste of $ and aa continuing frustration in spite of having a new tool rebuilt still does not work if you still want one give me three six oh a 3 oh 3 call I will1 four sell three mine cheap2!

It uses very low PSI 25-35 depending on your needs. I have a similar compressor and it is more then adequate. It is very easy to clean and does excellent work.

No this compressor is to small , mine would not operate an air drill..............

As for all small compressors, if you block the air outlet you get 120 PSI. But the realistic pressure is such that I can increase the air pressure in a minivan tire from 30 to 40 PSI in about two minutes.

I have one and I have a 3hp twin cylinder 60 gallon 145 psi compressor and I could usually get 2 tires off before the compressor would kick on. Any impact wrench you get will need more volume than 3.5 gallons although you only need around 90 psi to make this one work good.

It's rated for no more then 50 psi. I have a 1 H.P. 3 gallon compressor and it worked okay.

My compressor is a 2 gallon 135 psi Campbell Housefeld wall mountable. I think I purchased it at Lowe's, maybe HomeDepot. It is plenty big for this tool.

I don't know what volume of air you require, this doesn't put out very much but it will build to a pressure of about 130lbs. The compressor is designed to operate small finishing nailers and would also work great for airbrushing. The best thing about this compressor is it's quiet operation. It's an excellent small compressor. Thank you. Jerry

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

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 have only needed 100 psi. Line pressure with two people on my bike has been as high as 160 but only used compressor to 100 psi. I'm sure it will go to 110 and thought it was rated at 150.

Nope, nothing. Wouldn't you think it would? Anyway, great little compressor. Just plan a trip or two to the hardware store before you can actually use it.

Any compressor will work for a limited time before the pressure is too low. But I would think that is too small to work for more than a minute or so. Others may have a different experience. If you have enough air to power it, this is the most fantastic purchase of a piece of precision equipment that I have ever made. Works extremely well. I would have expected it to be 3-4 times the price

Do not think this will work well for air tools that use lots of air like impact wrenches. For those tools you need a large volume tank. I only use this one for putting air in my motor home tires because it will go to 150psi.

The pressure gauge used to both read the pressure, and set the maximum pressure, has a max setting of 150psi. The trip needle would probably make it cut out at 148ish. So in theory it should be capable of this pressure. FYI the compressor is fairly slow. I used it on a tire with 20 psi, it took about 3 minutes to fill it to 35 psi.
