August 2006 - DEWALT, a leading manufacturer of industrial power tools announced the introduction of its heavy-duty 1 gallon, 135 PSI, trim compressor (D55140). The new compressor offers end users a lightweight, compact design and quiet operation for punch-out work. Ideal for finish carpenters and woodworkers, the D55140 can be used for custom installation of shelves or other furniture, cabinet trim installation and for pressure-testing new plumbing lines.
Performance
The D55140 produces .75 SCFM at 90 PSI, 135 PSI (Max), delivering high surge performance with quick recovery, and at 69 dBA, provides end users with a quieter operation, compared to existing compressors in the marketplace. The compressor was designed with a 2.6 amp draw motor to deliver easy start-up and reduced breaker tripping, as well as a high flow regulator that provides maximum air pressure to increase jobsite performance. The D55140 is also equipped with an oil-free, long-life pump, allowing for maintenance-free operation. The oil-free design of the pump eliminates the need for users to check or refill the pump, and also helps to keep the jobsite clean by preventing oil from transferring to work surfaces.

The compact design of this unit is ideal for end users who prefer hand carry compressors. Weighing just 24 pounds and measuring 9" wide, the compressor is easily transported and stored. In addition, DEWALT equipped the compressor with a one-hand, universal quick connect for easy-to-use operation. For increased efficiency, the D55140 was designed with a ball drain valve for quick and thorough tank draining and a convenient cord wrap for easy storage.
Durability
The efficient and unique design of the D55140 ensures maximum durability and longevity. DEWALT built the heavy-duty compressor with an innovative roll cage, full-protection frame design to shield the unit from routine wear and tear and accidental damage. In addition, a wrap-around control panel covers the frame and provides further protection to key components of the compressor.
