My guess is that the PC 1010 will operate it but will not keep up. It will
go up to 120 PSI, but only 0.7 scfm at 90 PSI. The consumption of my
Finish Pro 18 nailer is 0.84 scfm at 60 brads/second so it closely matches
the compressor. The Finish pro XL25, a heavy duty brad nailer is 1.9 scfm
at 90 PSI at a rate of 60 brads/minute. The larger nailers will surely
consume more. With only a 1 gallon tank, I think the PC1010 may be a
disappointment to operate the 15 or 16 ga nailers under anything but a few
nails per minute. The pump up time for the PC 1010 compressor is 128
seconds (0-120 PSI) and it will recover from 90-120 PSI in 35 seconds. My
guess is that you would have to limit the nailing rate for a larger nailer
to about 4-5 per minute.

I used the Senco ultra quiet compressor with a Senco finish nailer
(FP35) in this weekend. I found that the compressor will start kicking
in after I had shot five 15-gauge finish nails. Then, I still could
shoot the sixth nail without any problem. I didn't try to shoot the
seventh nail; I just waited 10 seconds to let the compressor to catch
up a bit before I shot any more nail.

This is of course not good enough for "production" use. But for DIYer
like me who tends to work slowly and tends to have down time between
shooting nails, it is good enough.

If I got a two-hot-dogs compressor, I (as a DIYer) probably would
never ever need to pause to wait for the compressor. But then I would
need to pay more and had to carry the heavy load around (it would be
heavy as comparing to the very light Senco ultra quiet compressor).
Therefore, I feel that I am much better off using the Senco ultra
quiet compressor.

Yes, it is quite quiet. I cannot hear it running in the basement when
I walked up to the first floor (and the floor is not well insulated
nor sound-proof).

By the way, it works perfectly fine with the bundled FP-18 brad
nailer. I don't remember hearing the compressor ever needs to kick in
when I used the brad nailer to shoot brads at quarter-round
shoe-molding around the entire basement wall. It might have kicked in
once. But this happens so infrequent that I cannot recall this ever
happens.

The bottom line is: It is cheap enough, quiet, very light, takes very
little room, great for brads, and OK for finish nails for DIY usage.

Thanks for the recommendation on that compressor/brad-nailer combo.
