Does anyone know what model of Senco compressor this is and what modifications need to be made in order to accomplish this setup? I tried contacting the guy that posted this video but haven't heard back from him. |

Thanks. On the video it looks like the cord is retractable. Is that a feature of this model or is that something that he modified? Are the cord and the air connector accesible on the side like is shown in the video?

My guess is that he / she has a retractable electrical cord reel mounted under the compressor. Also probably has a short air hose from the compressor to the cut out in the side of the systainer. Wish the poster had spent the time shooting better documenting video versus getting artsy.

The tools in my truck were talking the other day. The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy. They also were in the minority. Their complaint: They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in. I guess the truth hurts.

Did you ever get around to putting your compressor into a systainer? I am fed up with carrying mine around as it always tips over in my van. I am tempted by the Prebena, but it is pricy for a basic compressor. (I've just bought some systainers from the koffeeshop german outfit - very good prices and speedy delivery and I've got an empty sys 5)
Anyone else any experience?

If anyone is interested in the systainer mounted air compressor I have all the info on them. I contacted the German manufacturer and also the US distributor. I have the specs, models available, cost & availability. They do not make a 110V unit in stock but can make a run to offer 110V. The other option is to use a converter from 220V to 110V. Just let me know via PM and I can let you know what I have found out. Its a cool system but to get it in 110V I would need to have others order them with me so the factory will make a special run.
Just thought someone else may be interested like I was or am.

OK, well based on the positive responses here, I've decided to take it a stage further. I would say I've decided to actually make it, but this has the makings of one of those projects I never quite get round to carrying through to the end!
Anyway, here's the donor machine, along with size 4 and 5 systainers:
[ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ]
As you can see, fitting it into a 4 would be much more of a sqeeze than a size 5...
In the pictures below, it's clear that the width of both the compressor & tank is considerably less than the width of the systainer:
[ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ]
[ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ]
Which gives me lots of scope for adding one of these self-retracting hose reels behind the tank:
[ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ]
Thanks to Brice for posting the vid that gave me the idea for this! With a retractable hose in there, and a mains connector in the side too, there would be no real need to open the systainer except for maintenance. This means that a Sys 1 or 2 could live permanently on top to hold the air tools. what compresser is this please? 110v? any weblinks etc. did you ever fit this, pics etc i want to make one for when theres power available as nails are 50% cheaper than my 18v dewalt |

There is another site where the guy cut off the handle of the Senco (I love my little Senco). put it in the bottom, hose in the middle and had his 23g pinner and 18g pinners on top. KISS

Sorry for not replying sooner, I missed a few of these posts.... No, I never did get around to doing it. The main reason being that I realised I don't use the compressor & nailgun very much. I've also realised that I don't use them often because it's such a pain to dig them out & set them up.  Catch 22.... |

Is there such a thing as a retractable cord reel that has a retractable male end? I've looked but haven't had much success in finding one. Everything I've seen has a retractable outlet. Any reason why I couldn't just buy a plug and an outlet and switch them out on the cord reel? |

I asked the same questions some time ago. This is the settup i really liked, no fuss. Woodguy Re: Compressor in a systainer ? Reply #11 on: November 16, 2009, 04:18 PM ? Quote -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you thinking of this? It's a 1 hp Senco. I just cut off the handle. I holds a 15 ga., 18 ga., and 23 ga pinner. 50ft of hose, the compressor, and I took the attic lid from my t 15 sys 2 and put it on this sys 5 for nails. Completely self contained. I think the thread started out about the attic lid on the drill sys 2's.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone had gotten their Senco PC1010 into a T loc sys V. Have both the systainer and the compressor, but am worried that the new shape of the T Loc is going to cause a problem. Angle grinder on standby waiting for a green light.

Playing devil's advocate here: A PC1010 fits great on TOP of one of my rolling systainer stacks, the rubber feet keep it from sliding, and the dB level is quieter than any other power tool I own. What's the advantage of deconstructing it to put it inside a $80 dollar box?  Btw, I do use a Sys-IV (labeled FASTENING) for all my guns, hose, blower nozzle, caulk gun, and hot melt. |

Joseph,
I dont have the PC1010. But for me a Sys-compressor is all about packing the truck!

Compressor, 16,18,21 ga nailers and air hose in one package. Stacked with more tools it cuts down on at least a single trip, maybe two.

I can tell you that after playing with Seth Semenzas Nail gun/Co2 Sys 4 set up that i am gonna buy a CO2 set up from Lowes for $90, two tanks $60 and a Sys 2 $68 and pair that with a PC pancake, soon to be a Rolair JC10. That way i can just use whats easier and im not taking up a lot more space in the box van. Oh yeah Seth is one cool dude too. Eric

from my time as a paintballer i'd bet the co2 setup is going to put much more stress on your guns internals. co2 is a cold liquid that turns to gas and where compressed air is just air. i remember toasting so many o rings just screwing the tanks on and off from the flash freeze.
people have been using c02 for a while with finish guns so it can't be a big issue.
