2.5 HP with Big Bore Engineered Pump
The MAC2400 is powered by a 2.5 HP motor. The Makita Big Bore engineered pump with cast iron cylinder has greater bore and stroke for increased compression, faster recovery and less noise. The cast iron construction is engineered for increased durability even under tough job-site conditions. The MAC2400 has an oil-lubricated pump and is equipped with a large automotive style filter for increased air intake and greater efficiency. The Big Bore oil-lubricated pump is also more efficient: the MAC2400 runs cooler and at half the RPM of most competitive units, resulting in greater motor and pump life and lower noise. The 4.2 gallon twin-stacked tank sustains an operating pressure of 130 PSI, and delivers 40PSI (4.8 CFM) and 90 PSI (4.2 CFM), enough for two nailers. The low AMP draw reduces instances of tripped breakers and voltage drop that can cause premature motor failure. The roll bar handle provides portability and additional protection, helping it withstand harsh jobsite environments. Additional features include a convenient oil drain and oil sight glass, a tank drain valve that supersedes standard petcock design for easier maintenance, and finned discharge tubing that dissipates heat more efficiently.

Versatile Design for a Range of Applications
The MAC2400 is engineered for low noise, high output and less maintenance, and delivers industrial power and results with improved durability under tough job site conditions. The MAC2400 is just another example of Makita's commitment to innovative technology and best-in-class engineering.

!±8± When Do You Need a High Pressure Air Compressor?

An air compressor is a valuable tool for operating power tools as well as simple tasks in your garage. They are efficient and time saving for you for many tasks. There are also invaluable for your car tires. There are different types available, depending on what type of tool you'll be using. Some notable choices are Copeland compressor, Husky air compressor or Quincy compressors.

There are different factors to consider when you decide to get a compressor. Because air compressors are not cheap, you want to get the most for your money and get what you need and what you'll use. The first thing you want to do is determine your budget and how much you are going to spend on your air compressor. Next, decide what it will be used for mostly. Simple tools, such as nail guns, do not need a high volume compressor. However, larger tools like sander and drills, which require steady flow of air, may benefit from a high-pressure air compressor.

For style, you have the direct drive and belt drive to choose from. The direct drive, which takes up less space, will last up to 500 hours. They don't require oil changes are great for average jobs. Belt drive pumps, which last about 1,500 hours, require oil changes every 500 hours. These are slightly more versatile, being good for professional or do-it-yourselfers.

Tank size and power of the compressor are two more considerations. The power of the air compressor is measured by the horsepower and the pounds per square inch pressure (PSI). The important thing to remember is that the compressor needs to be more powerful than the tool it will be used with. Always check all the tools that need an air compressor before purchasing the compressor. The tanks of air compressors range from two gallons up to one hundred gallons. Whatever size you think you need, get the next larger size. This will ensure that you'll get the most compressor for what you need.

Cost is always the largest factor when making a purchase, especially one as large as this. Compare the different brands on the market and check the customer reviews on the internet. Don't pay for a name brand compressor just because it's a name brand. Compare what each model gives you in terms of how much it costs as well as looking at the reviews. Don't get suckered into buying a fancy compressor if you don't need all the accessories it offers.

Many stores offer reconditioned compressors. These machines have been totally inspected and repaired if need be. Some of them are in almost new condition, but at a lesser price. Most of them will come with some sort of warranty as well. See if you can get one with up to a year warranty, so you'll have a chance to really get use out of it. You may also want to shop online for good deals. Many online stores offer cheap shipping and lower prices.
