Those cans are useless. I ONLY use real air for dusting out electronics. **Q: What about a framing gun?** A: NO. Well, you COULD run a framing gun on this, but you'd have to wait a while between nails. You'd be faster with a hammer, and you'd be running the compressor solidly on the entire time. Great way to burn it out. Get a bigger compressor with a larger air tank for a framing gun. **Q: Will this work with a sandblaster?** A: This is a great compressor but the air tank is really small and wouldn’t be able to keep up with the air demand **Q: Unpacked and in the plastic bag with the air filter is a black plastic tube 1/4” x 4”. What is this for?** A: The tube goes into a small hole on the edge of the filter it helps keep the noise down. ## Frequently Bought Together - California Air Tools CAT-1P1060SP Light & Quiet Portable Air Compressor, Lightweight, Ultra Quiet, Oil-Free, 1 Gallon Steel Tank, .6 HP, 56 dBA Noise Level - Amflo 12-25E 1/4" x 25' Poly Air Hose - Accessory Kit, 17 Piece Compressor Inflation Kit, with Blow Gun, Air Chucks, & Inflation Needles (Campbell Hausfeld MP284701AV) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/70494680-california-air-tools-cat-1p1060s-light-and-quiet-portable-air](https://www.desertcart.us/products/70494680-california-air-tools-cat-1p1060s-light-and-quiet-portable-air) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
