Good video! I'm glad we bought the Fortress 6 gal. pancake compressor last year, got it on sale. We had an old porter cable pancake compressor that which was failing, and replaced it with the fortress. I use it mostly for my nailer & die grinder. So far it's working great, and starts right up fine even in the cold weather.👍
Great vid, which one is louder or are they about the same? There's a huge difference between my porter cable and ridgid pancakes, the porter cable you can hear 2 blocks away and the ridgid 1 or 2 houses down.
I just got the fortress 6 gallon ultra quiet compressor, the specs are 150psi ,2.7cfm , 1.3hp . I wish it had that 175 psi n 3.cfm tho that would help me out alot but I guess they had to make a trade off to keep it quiet or quieter 66 decibels only. I have not actually used it yet for work but I ran through the break in process and drained it out and stuff, it kicks back on at 120 psi . I’m framing carpenter so I’ll be putting it to the test every day roofing gun framing gun finish nailer brad and staple guns. I’m upgrading from a porter cable 6 gallon after 8 years I just can’t stand the noise anymore it is wicked loud but works great still surprisingly but I have had enough of it scaring me n just being annoying when it starts up and it is slow to fill when empty I’m not sure exactly but id say 3 min ish fill time with the sound of a fighter jet engine taking off the WHOLE TIME
@@jimmysgarage9068 So far so good with the compressor two men running off it two framing guns at once. tomorrow three of us will be using it to build a 159ft fence that’s going to be alot of strain on it trying to keep up all day long. My boss hates harbor freight so he hate’s it with a true passion right off the bat for no reason and just waiting for it to break so he can say something . He is good a good guy but just hates the freight ,if you gave him $1000 harbor freight gift card he’d rip it in half and throw it straight in the trash .

About the same - maybe 1-2 db off. The Fortress is a much better machine though. Thank you for watching 🇺🇸🤘
I cant understand why you didnt include the dba in your cpmparison.

I thought about getting that one - but didn’t want to lose the extra pressure and CFM. I hope it works out well for you!
