Rolair ( The Bull ) 2-HP 4.3-Gallon Contractor Twin Stack Air Compressor

The FC2002, or "The Bull" as we call it, is a 2-HP, twin stack workaholic. This compressor was designed with the contractor in mind. It is built to run every day of the week and overtime on the weekend.

It is our #1 selling hand-carry unit, and for good reason. The high-speed 2-HP pump/motor puts out 4.1 cfm @ 90 psi- plenty of air to run any gun you need. The compact tank design makes this compressor easy to move to and from the jobsite and won’t take up much storage space.

We know the problems cold weather can cause, which is why we equipped the FC2002 with a cold weather start valve. This allows the compressor to start easier in cold weather.

With features like this, it is no wonder it's our number one selling hand-carry compressor!

OK. Runs well.

I actually received this item two weeks ago, but was unable to try it out until last week. Upon firing it up, it pumped up quickly as expected, but as soon as it shut off, I noticed the safety pop off was leaking air. I pulled the ring to release some air and maybe get it to seat properly, which it didn't, so I promptly notified Air Compressors Direct that morning, and was directed the following morning to call Rolair directly, which I did.

After explaining the problem, they asked if I would mind replacing the original with a replacement, and I obliged. Upon receiving the new one, I promptly swapped them out, and fired it up again, expecting to finally get to test it out. It wasn't to be, as it reached the 125psi shutoff, it commenced a series of pop offs/pressure ups, til I finally shut it off, disgusted. At this point, I'm ready to trade it in on another one, as I didn't purchase a new compressor to be working on it, but to be working with it.

Called Rolair, and they asked me if I would mind taking it to an authorized repair center, thirty minutes away. I agreed, only since I happen to be going that way tomorrow anyway. I hope they're able to fix it while I wait. If not, I'll be contacting A.C.D. for a replacement or refund.

I'm sure Rolair makes an excellent product, and I had anticipated a great experience in trying one of their products after 40 plus years in the woodworking business. Not real excited with the service end so far. Hopefully, A.C.D. will ask me to comment again in a month or so, and I'll have a better review to offer. I may recommend Rolair, if I get to try one.

Great compressor for the money.

Good.

We bought this compressor for our son for his birthday. He loves it and it works great.

When it came time to purchasing a compressor for our business we knew exactly which one we wanted. When we need more we will be sure to buy this again.

Not as quiet as the smaller unit.

I had read most of the reviews, and had some solid recommendations from knowledgeable folks, so I knew what to expect. The Bull arrived on time and was complete.

There was some lube oil residue and some minor discharge upon initial start up, but once cleaned up there were no leaks. Once the lube oil was topped off, everything ran perfectly and charged the tanks quickly and more quietly than I anticipated, no leaks on overnight test.

In my shop I connected the Bull to a 10 gallon auxiliary tank, and that tank was charged quickly, and using different air tools, the system far exceeds my current needs.

Thanks again for the help, and I am looking forward to using this machine in the future.

I was looking for a compact compressor that was not deafening and this is it. I like the individual tank drains.

The book says it starts good at 40 degrees and warmer, I would say it is more like 50 degrees. My next move is to change the oil to as thin a synthetic oil that is recommended to see if it starts better in cool temperatures.

I don't like having to reset the motor multiple times to get the motor to run up to speed in cool temps.

I could not be happier with the product or the service. Unit arrived fast and I put it to work minutes later- came with oil and the coupler many reviewers said would be missing was on there too.

I just put on some thread tape on the connections and my hose and went to work. Price was very fair and free delivery plus no sales tax-- can't beat it.

I've only had the compressor about a month, great so far!

Note, the bleed valves on the tank have been changed to brass finger operated valves which are much better than the ones you have to open with a wrench that end up getting rounded off over time.
