Hi guys,

I did a quick video of the Rolair JC10 air compressor. Just wanted to show you how quiet it is. It can handle any air tool. I have connected all types of tools to it. Finishing, brad, pin, stapler, paint sprayer, texture sprayer, etc. I don’t have a framing nailer.

I used to own a Dewalt 2 gallon compressor and it would rattle my brain every time it turned on. I learn to hate that thing.

Honestly, I would buy this compressor!!! I was actually researching it when Dan and Eric had a review of it.

I did a quick video of how quiet it is and posted it to youtube.

Here’s the link:

Let me know if you guys have any questions.

Thanks Harold. That’s much quieter than any compressor I’ve used.

If only they made larger compressors. Our 60 gallon compressor is super loud. I would like to see them make larger ones. I could barely hear it.

Thats awesome, good video Harold. Saying its quiet is an understatement, your voice easily over powered it.

I’ll say it’s quiet. That is amazing.

I wish my Husky was that quiet, that dang thing sounds like it’s gonna take off for Mars when I run it…

That’s one nose I can’t stand is an air compressor it’s like nails on a chalkboard for me. The loud pop of the Paslode cordless gun is better than than compressor nose at least for me personally.

Nice job Harold. I wish my compressor was that quiet.

I have the jc10. I got rid of all my other ones except a 60 gal in my shop.

It’s an EXCEPTIONAL compressor!

Btw, Rolair DOES make lots of other larger compressors. Not sure that they’re quite as quiet, but the reviews on them are also good.

Fed Ex dropped my new JC10 off yesterday. I went a head and ran just to hear first hand how quiet it is. I couldn’t believe how quiet it is even after watching Harold’s video………
