Makita MAC2400 2.5 HP Big Bore 4.2-Gallon Twin-Stack Electric Air Compressor
The Makita MAC2400 2.5 HP Big Bore 4.2-Gallon Twin-Stack Electric Air Compressor delivers 4.2 CFM at 90 PSI and achieves a 130 PSI maximum working pressure to reliably run two pneumatic framing or finish nailers simultaneously. Powered by a low-RPM 4-pole motor operating at just 1,730 RPM and 79 dB noise output, this heavy-duty compressor pairs a cast iron Big Bore cylinder and piston assembly with an oil-lubricated pump to maximize recovery speeds, reduce component wear, and prevent jobsite breaker trips through low AMP draw. Encased in a rugged steel roll-cage frame with copper-finned discharge heat dissipation tubing and dual universal quick couplers, it supplies stable pneumatic power for demanding residential construction and trim carpentry.
Best Used For:
- Concurrent Two-Gun Framing: Operating two pneumatic framing or sheathing nailers simultaneously using dual 1/4-inch quick connects backed by 4.2 CFM at 90 PSI output.
- Interior Trim & Finish Carpentry: Supplying quiet, continuous 79 dB air volume for 15-gauge finish nailers, 18-gauge brad guns, and narrow crown staplers without disruptive jobsite noise.
- Low-Voltage Residential Remodels: Starting up smoothly on shared residential 15A circuits without tripping breakers due to low electrical AMP draw.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- Big Bore Cast Iron Cylinder: Increased cylinder bore and stroke provides greater air compression, faster pressure recovery times, and extended pump life.
- Low-RPM 4-Pole Motor: Runs at 1,730 RPM to cut operating sound down to 79 dB, drastically reducing mechanical wear compared to high-speed alternative units.
- Twin-Stacked 4.2-Gallon Tank: Compact dual-tank architecture sustains 130 PSI maximum pressure for balanced air delivery across multi-tool setups.
- Low AMP Electrical Draw: Engineered motor windings minimize voltage drops and eliminate nuisance breaker tripping at startup.
- Copper Finned Discharge Tubing: Dissipates heat rapidly between the pump and tank, minimizing internal condensation and water accumulation.
- Heavy-Duty Roll-Cage Handle: Protects vital pump, motor, and gauge assemblies against rough handling, tip-overs, and jobsite debris.
