jtkendall Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Acme Tools shared this on instagram this morning a Flexvolt air compressor is coming soon. "Coming soon: @dewalttough has added a 2.5 gal 135 max PSI cordless air compressor (DCC2560T1) to their FLEXVOLT line-up. And it's made in the USA! ?? Pre-order yours today." Its $299 and only available as a 1 battery kit at this time. Not sure when it would ship or what it's actual release date is and I can't find it anywhere else. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRS5565 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Glad I skipped the Ridgid Version however would of liked this unit to be larger perhaps 120v at 4 scfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 looks nice. How does it compare to the Ridgid. Maybe more power? it appears like a bigger tank as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe more power? it appears like a bigger tank as well. The Ridgid has a 1 gallon tank, so this has it beat on volume at 2.5 gallons. Ridgid also only has 1 SCFM at 90PSI whereas the Dewalt has 1.2. If you aren't invested in either brand the Dewalt ends up being $80 cheaper assuming you would buy two 5.0 batteries and the dual charger if you chose Ridgid. The price difference and higher volume makes me really glad I didn't buy the Ridgid one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

builditguy Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I was just looking at the Rigid. Not planning on buying it, but just checking it out. Planning on getting the Rigid lights and wondering what else I could get. I like seeing this. Even though it's flexvolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framer joe Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Badass....considering the rigid (I have) needs 2 / 5ah to achieve 1200 nails and the Dewalt uses 1 / flex battery 2ah/6ah to achieve 1220 nails ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrosBros82 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 @framer totally agree. This is really cool, but with how everything is cordless I am not sure what I would use it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 At least right now air is faster and air nailers are smaller than their battery versions. And many guys probably either don't wanna upgrade every gun to batter or have a few guns they would like to keep air powered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcv76 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Most Battery Powered nailers can't sink 2 1/2 inch brads into hardwoods and sometimes struggle with 2", with the exception of Paslode. So that could be the benefit of this, compressed air is still more powerful. plus you can fit all air guns from 15-23g in a small bag, where battery powered guns are much bigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framer joe Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 @framer...the info on the Dewalt is on acme tool or toolguyd...the info on the rigid is on any product page...The number shot is for brad nails.....a framing gun would shoot probably 10/20 nails before kicking the compressor on...trim gun 16 or 15g ..20/30 nails...a hanger gun about 2 hangers, then kick on...........the whole filling tires thing is better off with other tools...I have a Dewalt compressor/ jumper cables unit...small and does a great job for both....Ryobi makes great tire inflators. This compressor works well for punch list, interior trim, small jobs...I have all the cordless nailers, I use the 16g to tack Trim up then nail with a coiler (exterior trim) ..I don't like the size and weight of the cordless nailers ,when I do finish work I would set this compressor in the room or just outside the room and use all my much smaller and lighter finish guns with a small hose......no jobsite power on almost all our jobs.....so anytime I can go cordless great.....plus my deck company will use this no problem it will be perfect...

The Paslodes are basically air in a way because they use a gas cartridge. I wonder if the next gen cordless nailers will be as powerful as air.

JakeDewalt Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Interesting so this is running on 60v while others are at 18/20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrosBros82 Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Depending on total price, I just can't see myself getting into this. Flat tires yes... but unless you have zero electricity what will you use it for? I know the argument on nail guns, which I agree with, but I would rather be totally cordless and set a few nails potentially... rather than have a cordless compressor and still have hoses around.

soicyboy Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 This is why I am totally cordles. 100 percent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framer joe Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Yes the Dewalt runs on 60v ...the large 3/9ah flex battery should run it all day...............uses...many......where we work building new custom homes ..no power..generators running all day and gas compressors.......this compressor will be great for carpenters punch list, ...finish guys that love there very small lightweight air guns but have no power or don't want to run a bigger gas compressor....we love it for our deck company....tons of hardware on decks...the dcn693 hanger gun is huge, heavy and can't fit in 12" oc spaces...so this compressor will work great using a small lightweight "strap shot" hanger gun for all that hardware...again no power on site..........anyone that already owns pneumatic guns and doesn't want a new huge investment in battery nailers will LOVE this compressor.....

Jronman Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 could it be 60v because of the larger tank? @JakeDewalt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
