High PSI - Good or Bad?

Air Compressor PSI can be a confusing subject so we want to clear up any misunderstandings. Unfortunately, multiple leading manufacturers have recently introduced low-cost 150 PSI, 175 PSI and 200 PSI (and now 225 PSI) air compressors which are effectively misleading customers into thinking higher PSI is somehow better and equates to improved performance. This assertion is generally false. The real-world experience with these types of unit is that many folks will quickly find out their air compressor practically runs the whole time as the unit tries to constantly maintain an unnecessary high PSI threshold level. This is both excessively noisy and ultimately shortens the life of the motor. Since around 98% of standard air tools only require 87-90 PSI to operate, the high PSI specs game is nothing more than marketing puffery and does not benefit the customer whatsoever. The exception would be an air compressor that features a 2-stage motor-pump which leverages a large piston to generate volume, and a small piston for maintaining the high pressure….like our 20015HP model which produces up to 175 PSI. The drawback is that CFM is typically lower when compared to a similarly sized single-stage motor-pump. Most importantly, you need to understand that CFM is 90% of the equation when evaluating a units’ general capability and anticipated performance with your tools or application. For example, I can whistle at 100 PSI but I can’t drive 4” nails into a board with my whistle. If I need to drive a Hitachi framing gun, I am going to need at least 4 CFM to drive a 4” nail all the way in.
