DeWalt DXCMSAC260

DeWalt DXCMSAC260 is a 2 HP 26-gallon vertical oil-less portable air compressor delivering 4.0 SCFM at 90 PSI with a 175 PSI maximum tank pressure. It runs on a standard 120V household circuit, weighs about 130 lbs, and includes an electronic drain valve and a 1/4 inch tank outlet. DeWalt’s headline claim is acoustics: at 69 dBA it is roughly 80 percent quieter than typical oil-free compressors in the same horsepower class, which makes it usable indoors near customers, in garages adjacent to living space, or in trim-carpentry job sites. Realistic load is single-tool operation (brad nailer, finish nailer, small impact, low-volume blow gun). It will not keep up with continuous die-grinder, sandblaster, or HVLP-paint demand, and the oil-less pump should be considered consumable rather than rebuildable. Tank is vertical to minimize footprint. One-year limited consumer warranty. Replaces older two-stage DXCMSAC426 model in the same line.
