Compressor buying help ??? Which model??

[stevedr]

Hello.

I need some expert advice. I am looking at these two compressors which have similar specs and same prices locally. Anyone have an opinion on which is best?

Porter Cable C5510: http://www.acetoolonline.com/product-p/por-c5510.htm

And Industrial Air ILA1883054: http://www.powermate.com/air_compressors/product_detail.php?model=ILA1883054

The Industrial air looks heavier duty and has a cast iron compressor, but Porter Cable looks like it has cast iron sleeves. Would this make a difference?

I will be using it for construction work (nail guns 2 to 4 at a time) and in shop for small job paint spraying.

Thanks

Steve

Welcome to the forum.

The 2nd one looks better specification, I'd be inclined to go for that.

I don't if there is any advantage of sleeves over cast iron block, I suppose they could be replaced if necessary.

Easy choice , the industrial Air , it has a twin cylinder pump.
