Makita MAC2400 Review

Now selling for $295.42 on Amazon.com

Makita’s 2.5HP Air Compressor is equipped with Makita’s Big Bore engineered pump cylinder and piston for higher output for two nailers, with less noise and improved job site performance. The 4.2 gallon twin-stacked tank sustains an operating pressure of 130 PSI, and delivers 40PSI (4.8 CFM) and 90 PSI (4.2 CFM), enough for two nailers.

The cast iron construction is engineered for increased durability (Runs at a lower RPM, 1,720, resulting in greater motor and pump life) even under tough job site conditions. All Makita Big Bore Air Compressors are oil lubricated (oil and 1/4″ universal quick coupler included) and equipped with large automotive style filters for increased air intake and greater efficiency.

The MAC2400 is fairly heavy, because it is not a tinny piece of junk and there’s only plastic on it where it makes total sense – no where else. Makita also puts a NICE molded rubber handle on it that doesn’t shift or move one bit. The thing’s built like a tank and looks great.

Here are some great features of the Makita MAC2400:

• Large automotive style industrial air filter for increased air intake and greater efficiency
• Durable cast iron cylinder reduces wear and increases pump life; removable for easy maintenance
• Built-in thermal overload for additional motor protection
• Oil lubricated: Cooler running pump, minimizes wear
• One-year manufacturer’s warranty

It also runs way more cool than others – the finned discharge tubing on this thing is fantastic. The frame wraps around and protects most of the important stuff, so there are no lines, wires, etc. waiting to be snagged.

Here’s what one of the owners had to say about the Makita MAC2400:

This is a quality compressor. The tanks are heavy steel as is the roll cage around the entire mechanism. The handle is in the center, so carrying it is well balanced.

The compressor is just as quiet as others report, in fact I chose the Makita over the Dewalt for one reason: quiet. I have it in the corner of my workshop about 10 feet from me.

The compressor seems to live up to its specs. I have easily run 3/8 and 1/2 inch impact wrenches, a brad gun and a finish nail gun, along with blow guns, etc. When I went to use a Snap-On 7200 3/8″ air ratchet, the performance was just adequate. Then I read the spec for the ratchet and it calls for 4.5 cfm. The Makita is rated at 4.2. SO, you do have to watch the cfm ratings on tools.

The start up instructions are easy and you are up and running in 20 minutes.
