Review: Lots of air, not obnoxiously loud, sturdy wheels and handles - I needed a compressor for my small workshop for air tools, nailers, blowoff, tire inflation and spray painting. I've had oil-less compressors in the past and although I liked their lower prices, I absolutely hated the terrible, high pitched screams they emitted when running. After looking around, I settled on a Makita, but I needed to choose between the Makita MAC700 Big Bore 2.0 HP Air Compressor , Makita MAC2400 Big Bore 2.5 HP Air Compressor and MAC5200. I decided that the MAC700 was too small for my needs. The MAC2400 was interesting, and I saw that a number of people had built carts to move it around and store hoses and miscellaneous parts. Then it struck me that for only $25 more, I could get the MAC5200, which came with more air, wheels and storage for hose and other bits. I've had the MAC5200 for about a month. It arrived well packaged and in perfect condition; none of the scratches and bent parts that some reviewers have noted. I was immediately impressed with the build quality. The collapsible handle is very heavy duty and the wheels are decent. After unpacking, I added the oil and did the 30 minute break-in with the tank valve open. The compressor is not what I would call quiet, but it makes far less noise than the oil-less compressors, and the pitch is lower. I am fortunate that I can put the compressor in a small room off my workshop. With the door closed, the compressor sound is muffled and I don't need hearing protection. If I were working in the same room with the compressor, I would use hearing protection. This is a heavy machine and it would be difficult to move around without the attached wheels and handles. For this reason alone, I am glad I went for the MAC5200 over the MAC2400. The MAC5200 puts out a decent amount of air. It takes 1 minute and 17 seconds to charge the tank to 120 PSI and an attached 3/8" X 50' hose to 90 PSI. Using an air gun with 3 1/2" nails, I can fire 15 - 20 shots before the compressor needs to recharge. So far, I've had enough air to do anything I wanted to do. I got a couple of accessories for the MAC5200. I needed some quick connects and bought the Milton M-Style Air Coupler and Plug Set - 1/4in. NPT, 7-Pcs., Model# S-212 . These quick connects are well made, sturdy and work well. I also got a Campbell Hausfeld MP5143 Pistol Grip Blowgun and think it's great value for money. I'll update the review in the future, when I've had more time on it.
Review: Unbefrickinlievable! - I was stunned to see the UPS man at my door at 10:15 am today (Monday morning) already delivering my MAC5200. WTF? I just ordered it what seemed like a few hours ago (Saturday evening). Talk about fast shipping. I wondered how they got it here so quickly, so I checked the tracking info and noticed it was shipped from MD, only one state away from me here in VA. In any event, I'm blown (no pun intended) away at the speed in which desertcart completed and delivered my order. Right after ordering, it basically went straight onto a UPS truck. That's pretty impressive considering the size and weight of this thing. I was a bit worried at first because the box had arrived a little beat up and torn. However, after a thorough inspection, there appears to be no damage anywhere to the unit. My one gripe is that they need to work on the sturdiness of the box. Also, the box would have been more manageable if there were heavy-duty handle cut-outs. I didn't see how the guy managed to carry it to my front porch, but I did notice the box was starting to fall apart. Anyway, I have yet to run and break the unit in, but judging by the quality craftsmanship, it appears that this machine will last me a lifetime (knock on wood). This is probably more compressor than I'll ever need, but I wanted to be sure I'd have something powerful enough to allow me to winterize my underground sprinkler system each year, which incidentally costs me about $50 per year to have someone else do. Therefore, after seven winterizations this beast will have paid for itself. Other than that, I really only plan to use it for air in the tires and small projects around the house. My compressor came with what appear to be some fairly heavy-duty and solid rubber wheels. At first glance, it looks like there's still a tiny bit more room for improvement with the wheels, as they seem to be just slightly out of alignment when wheeling it around (no biggie). After beating my head against the wall in deliberation, in the end, I elected to step up to the MAC5200 over it's little brother, the MAC2400. What put me over the edge was the wheels (greater portability), more HP & CFM, a bigger tank, and a folding handle. For me, it was well worth spending the extra fifty bucks or so to upgrade from the MAC2400 to the MAC5200. I'm really impressed with the look and feel; it's solid and heavy-duty, and built like a freaking tank. Even though I have yet to use it, I'm confident this compressor will surpass my needs and expectations. UPDATE I: I just added 21 photos to the gallery. Enjoy! UPDATE II: I broke the machine in and successfully winterized my underground (well-water) sprinkler system with no problems whatsoever. I bought this hose: GoodYear 045 3/8-Inch-by-50-Feet Safety Yellow Rubber Hose 3/8 -Inch by 50-Feet 250 PSI With 1/4-Inch Ends and this tire gauge: Milton S506 Dual Head Inflator Gauge with 12" Air Hose and couldn't be happier.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Due to the small tank, does it constantly cycle running a 1/2 inch impact wrench?**
A: Time to do math, this tank is a 5.2 Gallon, my 1/2” impacts consume from 4cfm on the low side (flex head 400ft/lb wrench) to 6.5cfm (top of the line 900 working/1600ft/lb bolt breakaway). I got compressor for its recovery speed, you can further reduce the noice many many ways, YouTube it, but every gallon only gives you .134 cubic feet, so this 5.2 gallon gives you .695 cubic feet of air. Low end wrench at 4cfm, 4 whole cubic feet a minute means .067 cubic feet every second, figuring how even if you turn the compressor off (so it doesn’t turn back up and start recouping) you’ll get around 10 seconds of air, 10x.067=.67 and you got .695. Now your compressor will kick on long before it gets that low and this isn’t an absolute perfect measure by any means cause your psi won’t be steady 24/7 but gives you an idea. This thing doesn’t have a huge tank but does have a very good recovery time for this price point (won’t find any sub $500 ones over 6cfm) this is meant to still be moveable, despite 75lbs but with the wheels and all it’s doable. If you’re goin for a shop compressor that won’t run often due to a 20-35gallon tank I mean this portable one shouldn’t be in your field of vision

**Q: Is it made in China or Taiwan? Where is the manufacture origin?**
A: on the rear of the machine, down low between the wheels, mine says made in taiwan. good machine so far.

**Q: Can the female air couplings be unscrewed and changed out for high flow couplings, or are they not removeable?**
A: Yes, I did exactly that. They are 1/4" male NPT, meaning the compressor manifold has two 1/4" female NPT connections. I replaced them both with high flow fittings which also accept the normal flow quick connect fittings and this was very easy to accomplish. This is a great compressor and I am very happy with how durable it is built & the ability to add on functionality to it.

**Q: has anybody used this compressor with a plasma cutter that requires 5-7cfm(90psi) ?**
A: I use it with an Eastwood 40 cutter rated 5-7 CFM at 20-60 PSI and it works fine. I haven't cut for lengthy periods(short cuts only,) the compressor runs a lot but it works. Make sure you get an air drier for your air line.This is a great little compressor, but if you're plasma cutting, you're probably doing other things too so I would put the money to a larger 60-80 gallon 10+ cfm compressor which is much better suited for garage tool use. I use this little compressor for everything though (blowing sprinkler lines, small media blasting cabinet etc.) I'm always amazed at what this little thing can do. But it runs constantly and after I burn it out, I will buy a much larger compressor more suitable for tool use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice compressor - has enough power to take off lug nuts of both car & SUV
*by P***E on April 16, 2015*

The following review is for a combination of items I purchased the same day. This compressor is built well and is not flimsy. The wheels and frame are solid! After much research I found the following combination of items to meet my needs. I wanted a big enough air compressor to drive an air impact wrench which would take my lug nuts off and be handy for smaller chores. I’m very much satisfied with my purchase. I’ve read horror stories whereby people buy air tools & compressor only to find they need to manually remove lug nuts. I would’ve been extremely disappointed with that kind of investment. With that said, the air impact wrench can easily take off my lug nuts for both my car and SUV. The ratchet works well for smaller jobs such as removing bolts for my brake calipers, shocks and can fit in a reasonable opening. It has some bulk to it but I can find myself using it for many other automotive tasks. The hose I bought works fine. Not sure how to write a review on it as it delivers air to the tools just fine. I bought an attachment to inflate my pool pillows in the fall and pool floats in the spring. Now I can enjoy a beer without getting winded. I bought the air impact sockets from Lowes, since they were cheap enough. By and far, this was a worthwhile investment. I’m looking forward to purchasing other air tools. Here's the list of the stuff purchased on Amazon that met my needs listed above. - Makita MAC5200 Big Bore 3.0 HP Air Compressor - Aircat ACR802R 3/8-Inch Ratchet, Large - AIRCAT 1000-TH 1/2-Inch Composite Air Impact Wrench With Twin Hammer Mechanism - Goodyear EP 46501 3/8-Inch by 25-Feet 250 PSI Rubber Air Hose with 1/4-Inch MNPT Ends
