Milwaukee M18 air compressor - Cooler - 05-05-2020
I got an advertisement for the Milwaukee M18 air compressor: https://toolguyd.com/milwaukee-m18-fuel-cordless-air-compressor-2840-052020/
It claims to be able to drive up to 1,600 nails per charge.
Does that make more sense than a cordless nail gun?

If I'm going to carry a compressor and a hose and a nail gun.... and a charger for the battery, why not just carry an extension cord as well?

I guess if you are off the grid. Perhaps new home construction with no electrical.
I would prefer the cordless guns myself. But cordless guns cost about $300.00 each. If you have a pin nailer, a 18 gage nailer, a 15 gage nailer and a framing nailer, this would be cost effective.

I would think thatd be useful in trim carpentry or repair jobs. For example, I helped a buddy install chair rail moulding in one of his 2nd floor rooms. I had to drag out my smaller 8 gallon compressor and lengthy hose. This may have been much more conveneient for such a small job.

I have a Porter-Cable pancake compressor. This would be more convenient. But would it make more sense to get a battery powered nail gun? That would be hose free, electric line free. They cost about $300.00 each gun. So this would be a cheaper option if you needed to buy or replace a lot of guns. I don't think it would have to CFMs to power my palm nailer though. (If you are building a deck, the palm nailer is a god-send.)
