Portability
You don't want an air compressor that's a chore to carry around. You'll be happy to have the Senco PC0968. It only weighs 38 pounds. Also, the rubber handle is comfortable in your hands while carrying the compressor around.
Motor
The Senco PC0968 is equipped with a 1.5 HP induction motor. It offers a maximum output of 135 PSI. After powering on the machine, it is ready for maximum output in just under 1 1/2 minutes. The air compressor has a recovery time of 17 minutes.
Cold Start
Starting an air compressor in cold weather can prove to be difficult with some models. It isn't with the Senco PC0968. It is equipped with a cold start valve. This allows you to start the compressor easily even in the dead of winter.
Power
The Senco PC0968 is powered by electricity. This has a big advantage over models that used oiled pumps. You never have to worry about oil leaking everywhere with this model. It also requires much less maintenance.
Powerful electric tools can easily trip a breaker. However, the Senco PC0968 only draws eight amps. You shouldn't have to worry about tripping any circuit breakers.
Gauge
It's always a good idea to keep a check on the pressure inside the tank. Fortunately, the tank pressure gauge on the Senco PC0968 is right up top. Therefore, you can easily monitor the air pressure. The regulator is fitted on the side of the compressor. The outlet pressure gauge is also on the side of the machine.
If you're looking for an air compressor for finish and trim work, then the Senco PC0968 should be just what you need. It is powered by electricity, so you don't have to worry about much maintenance or oil leaking everywhere. Its 1.5 HP induction motor can have the compressor completely pumped up in just under 1 ½ minutes.
