DeWalt DWFP55126 165 PSI Heavy Duty Pancake Compressor
Popular Mechanics is the only whitelisted tester covering this exact DeWalt DWFP55126 (its 'Best for Jobsites' pick in a compressor roundup). It praises the 6-gallon, 165-psi jobsite capacity and the three-point stance that keeps the unit steady on rough ground, but flags the 0.9-hp motor as small for the unit's size. The write-up cites manufacturer specs with no independently measured figures. (1 sourced review.)
Praised: Sits securely on rough, uneven surfaces thanks to three vibration-absorbing feet instead of four; Strong 6-gallon, 165-psi capacity for a compact jobsite unit; Lightweight (30 lb) with two universal couplers for running two tools.
Flagged: 0.9-hp motor is small for the unit's size.
