I was able to get the corded version of this compressor right after Christmas from Home Depot for only $80! It was the last one they had for the holiday season selling it for $199 holiday special. It had already been marked down to $120 after Christmas, and when the manager saw that I was interested in some other Makita tools, he told me he was going to make me a deal I couldn't refuse. He was right! It's a great small compressor too. I realize that it's not the same as what you're featuring in the video, but for about 80% less than the cordless version, I'll deal with needing to break out the extension cord and plugging it in when I have to use it.

As a custom cabinet maker and installer we actually don't have widely available power on site a lot of times the temporary plug is either nearly 50 yards from the house or everybody on site is fighting over one single 4 way. The metabo htp 36v compressor has been serving us well. There are just some nail guns that don't have cordless versions yet like 23ga staplers. Corded or cordless is such a big plus as well. Can even do light framing with it making pony walls

[@jnmc-vx4fw]

Makita makes some of the best corded compressors on the market next to roll air …so I assume a cordless one would be just as good

[@riba2233]

thanks for the video, I appreciate how you are reviewing some of the less popular tools from XGT line :)

[@dbtrim1837]

I love mine. I am a professional trim carpenter. This compressor definitely serves its purpose. Is it for trimming a whole house. Not so much. But is it great for punch list and smaller trim jobs, perfect for that application.

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

Might as well just buy cordless nailers if you're just doing punch list stuff and not drag a hose around. The latest M18 nailers solved all the old issues of nailers not setting etc. They work great even on hardwoods.

[@kevinpunter7960]

I have the cordless Dewalt and it is deafeningly noisy to the point of considering hearing protection .. so this Makita is attractive to me. I've collected many XGT tools over recent times so it's just a skin investment. The propensity for it to walk concerned me a little, I could imagine it walking off a bench or making its way underfoot if on the floor. You'd think we'd be living in an age where we could develop a compressor with less vibration!

[@TADSkewd]

And just commenting on filling tires with this compressor, Makita advertises it for that usage, but if you were just referring to filling up all four tires right after they were mounted on a set of rims, then I’d agree probably not meant for that, but it should be able to handle just topping off tires when they have lost some air, especially during seasonal changes. Just wanted to throw that out there for anyone looking to pick up one of these bad boys 🤣

[@mikerosoft1009]

Thank you. I want to use it to top up my tires but also to use it for an air gun on jobsites.

[@jeffleard2364]

I appreciate the video. I live in Taipei, Taiwan. I just bought this compressor. I charged the battery, which I bought separately, connected it, and turned on the compressor to fill the tank. While the tank was filling up, the compressor engine began to smoke. I turned it off quickly. It smelled like burnt rubber so I thought it was maybe the belt. I looked through the plastic cover with a flashlight, not wanting to remove the cover, and it looked like there were Black rubber debris from the belt. I don’t know what happened, but I’ve never heard of this happening with a compressor before. I’m wondering if the dealer had sold me a refurbished compressor.

[@TADSkewd]

Thanks for the vid, just got one of those and noticed that the regulator can be locked. The bottom red ring is knurled so you can tighten spin it up on the regulator knob after you adjusted it. Haven’t read the manual yet but I think that’s how that works 🤷‍♂️

Would like to see a very fast metabo hpt 36v vs 40v makita sound comparison.

[@EliotTruelove]

I have the corded 3 gallon compressor and it is incredibly quiet, i can only imagine how great this would be.

My plug-in Hitachi teen years and still going and it's just outside in open barn

[@slatecreekservicesllc8615]

I am an avid Makita user. But I would not give up my Senco cordless nailers for anything. No cord A N D no hose to rub on things or get snagged. My Senco framer will sink galvanized framing nails into LVL with ease.

[@williamweatherall8333]

You have to be able to fill up tires with it. It does not take 30 minutes to fill tires.

[@JoshuaYanez-hh8hc]

Is it good for tires?

[@williamweatherall8333]

@@JoshuaYanez-hh8hc I don't own one, but if you look at the things sold for pumping up tires (I have one of those. It is super tiny and cheap, but just fine), they are typically smaller and less robust. I think it is rather bulky for something that you would use to fill tires. But say you were to use it for filling tires (10 gallons at 80 psi about for truck rear tires, the worst case), boyles law from the fill time of 1:35 to get to 2 gallons at 135 says it should be 5 minutes to fill a tire from flat. Most of the time you aren't filling from flat though.

[@Golgafrinchamdent]

Is this a steel tank, or alu? Since I started with alu tanks, I really appreciate the clear water that drains out. Steel makes a rusty mess.

[@jeffleard2364]

Anyway, it’s a brand new compressor. Have you ever heard of this happening before? I’m wondering if it’s something I might have done wrong or if it’s just purely bad luck.

[@alouisschafer7212]

I find it really unfortunate that there is no 2x18V Version. If it runs on one 40V battery it can be easily made to run on 36V.

[@strykerentllc]

Buy the corded model for half the cost. Millions of homes have been finish-trimmed with corded models.

[@perfectdiversion]

There is often a lot of job sites with little to no power and also noise restrictions in some commercial settings like hospitals and shopping centers. From my experience as a floor finisher i go to jobs and there is 2 electrical outlets each with a 4 outlet box mostly filled with f*c(en makita LXT battery chargers LOL

Does DeWalt make a battery powered compressor?

[@WorkshopAddict]

They do and we have a review of it on this channel!

[@KevinLeeNelsen]

@@WorkshopAddict Thanks, I don't know how I missed it, but I will check it out now. Thanks!

[@costavong6018]

for this price still give us stell container, I pass, aluminium is standard in this price
